Why this number

Charging a 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB costs about $13.64 for a full charge (~80 kWh) at the US average rate of 17¢/kWh — roughly $6.17 per 100 miles, or $741 a year at 12,000 miles. The EQB uses 36.3 kWh/100 mi on the EPA combined cycle. The EQB’s real cost scales with your own rate, from about 12¢ to over 50¢ across the US.

The Mercedes-Benz EQB (EPA data for the 2025 model year, the newest the EPA lists; dollar figures use 2026 electricity rates) uses 36.3 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle — the wall-outlet figure, so charging losses are already counted (look up your exact trim at fueleconomy.gov ). At the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh that puts the EQB at about $6.17 per 100 miles — 6.17¢ a mile. That lands mid-pack: 42th of the 67 current models tracked here. Nothing about the running cost of the EQB will surprise you in either direction, which for a SUV at 36.3 kWh/100 mi is a reasonable outcome.

What an EQB costs to charge at every rate

The same EQB costs $4.48 per 100 miles at Idaho’s 12.35¢ and $19.14 at Hawaii’s 52.72¢ — a 4.3× spread that is entirely the rate:

Wall-side for the EQB: EPA’s 36.3 kWh/100 mi is measured at the outlet, charger losses included; quick-fill your state above for your own figure.

That per-mile figure is the one to hold against gasoline: at 17¢/kWh the EQB’s 6.17¢ a mile compares with about 13.6¢ for a 30-mpg gas car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026). The EV vs gas cost guide works the EQB’s math in full — both formulas, and the electricity rate at which the advantage disappears.

Range: what a “full charge” of the EQB really means

EPA range across the lineup runs 205–251 miles, averaging 221. Multiplying that by the car’s efficiency gives roughly 80 kWh to refill a full range from empty, which is the honest way to think about a ‘full charge’ — battery capacity figures include a buffer you never actually use. That is a modest range by 2026 standards, which matters less for cost than for how often you plan around charging on long trips.

The EQB on a public fast charger

On a public fast charger at about 48¢/kWh the EQB costs $17.42 per 100 miles against $6.17 at home — 2.8× — or roughly $2,091 a year instead of $741 if it never sees a home outlet. Why a session costs more than the posted price for a EQB (10–80% charging curve, idle fees, per-minute billing) is explained once on the cost-to-charge hub ; the EV time-of-use calculator nets an overnight rate against the EQB’s $741 flat-rate figure.

The EQB in cold weather

A hard winter lifts the EQB from 36.3 to roughly 47.2 kWh/100 mi (the middle of the 20–40% rise real-world data shows), so $8.02 per 100 miles instead of $6.17 and an effective range nearer 170 miles than 221. The mechanics behind the EQB’s winter penalty — cabin heat, battery chemistry, preconditioning from the wall — are on the hub ; the EQB’s $741 annual figure above already averages the seasons.

Where the EQB sits against other EVs

Its nearest neighbors on efficiency are the Mercedes-Benz EQE (36.1 kWh/100 mi) and the Genesis Electrified GV70 (37.3 kWh/100 mi). The EQB at 36.3 kWh/100 mi sits against a set that runs from the Tesla Model Y at 26.9 kWh/100 mi, and the least efficient is the GMC Hummer EV at 67.8 — a spread that changes annual charging cost by $834 a year at 17¢/kWh and 12,000 miles. And if a SUV like the EQB is the fixed requirement, the cheapest SUV to run tracked here is the Tesla Model Y at $549 a year — $192 less than the EQB.

Trims: does the EQB version you pick change the bill?

The EPA rates 3 configurations of the 2025 EQB, and they are not close: 31.5 kWh/100 mi for the most efficient, 38.8 for the least, a 23% spread. At 12,000 miles that is about $149 a year between the cheapest and most expensive version of the same EQB. Bigger wheels, all-wheel drive and performance tunes are usually what separates them — worth knowing before you tick the options box.

How it compares inside the Mercedes-Benz range

The EQB at 36.3 kWh/100 mi sits among 4 Mercedes-Benz EVs tracked here, running from 29.0 (CLA) to 42.5 (EQS). Also on this site: Mercedes-Benz CLA , Mercedes-Benz EQE , Mercedes-Benz EQS .

The tax question for the EQB, answered plainly

Nothing about the EQB changes that: the rules are the same for every EV, and the full 2026 position — §30D, §25E, the ended §30C charger credit, state programs — is in the energy tax credit guide and on the cost-to-charge hub .

Frequently asked questions

How we calculated this

Worked for the EQB: 36.3 kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × 17¢ = $6.17 per 100 miles; 221 mi × 36.3 ÷ 100 = 80 kWh, × $0.17 = $13.64 per full charge; $6.17 × 12,000 ÷ 100 = $741 a year. The EQB’s gasoline comparison is 12,000 ÷ 30 mpg × $4.07 = $1,628. EPA combined ratings, measured at the wall.
