Mercedes GLE 500e Home Charging Guide
Like its slightly faster brother/sister vehicle the Mercedes GLE 550e, the GLE 500e is a great choice if you're unable to charge a full electric vehicle at home. It has been discontinued, so you'll need to find it on the used car market or go for one of the newer Mercedes plug-in hybrids such as GLE 350de.
Charging time for the Mercedes GLE 500e is about two-and-a-half hours using a 7.4kW home charge point like those below.
