MB.EA
Mercedes-Benz Electric ArchitectureMercedes' first dedicated 800V EV platform for the mid-segment — not to be confused with the compact MMA (CLA, GLB) or with the converted EQ generation on MRA and MFA2. The electric GLC is the first model: a dedicated skateboard, not a combustion GLC converted to an EV like the old EQC. Relevant for CarMatch because the GLC is a core volume model and this becomes the architecture that replaces the EQ names.
MB.EA is the EV platform of Mercedes-Benz, in production since 2026, with a 800V architecture. The MB.EA platform carries 2 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on MB.EA runs from 613 to 762 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
