Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | BMW iX2 | Mercedes-Benz EQC |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | eDrive20 | 400 4MATIC |
| Battery (approx.) | ~65.2 kWh | ~80 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~513 km | ~411 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~161 Wh/km | ~223 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 130 kW | up to 112 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~30 min | ~36 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |

Charging Speed
The BMW iX2 has the higher published DC charging figure at 130 kW, which is roughly 16% higher than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at 112 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the BMW iX2 is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 6 minutes quicker than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at 36 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The BMW iX2 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 513 km, which is roughly 102 km more than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at approximately 411 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The BMW iX2 consumes 161 Wh/km, compared to 223 Wh/km for the Mercedes-Benz EQC. That means the BMW iX2 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The BMW iX2 has approximately 65.2 kWh of useable battery , while the Mercedes-Benz EQC has approximately 80 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the BMW iX2 has the higher published DC figure (up to 130 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the BMW iX2 is the more efficient choice at 161 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the BMW iX2 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 513 km, which is roughly 102 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
