For the recharge (fast) with direct current a DC system is available on board with a maximum charging power of 200 kW. Thanks to temperature and charging management, high charging currents can be maintained for a long time. Already after 15 minutes the current fed into the battery is sufficient to guarantee up to 250 kilometers of range (in the WLTP cycle).
Three charging programs are offered in the EQS SUV: Standard, Home and Work, in which parameters such as departure time, air conditioning and maximum charge level can be preset.
