Maserati Grecale Folgore vs Mercedes-Benz EQC

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Maserati Grecale Folgore has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 34% 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 Mercedes-Benz EQC is listed at about 36 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the Maserati Grecale Folgore at 38 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Maserati Grecale Folgore has a WLTP rated range of approximately 530 km, which is roughly 119 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 Mercedes-Benz EQC consumes 216 Wh/km, compared to 219 Wh/km for the Maserati Grecale Folgore. That means the Mercedes-Benz EQC 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 Maserati Grecale Folgore has approximately 98.6 kWh of useable battery , while the Mercedes-Benz EQC has approximately 80 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Maserati Grecale Folgore has the higher published DC figure at up to 150 kW, but the Mercedes-Benz EQC has the shorter published charge time at approximately 36 minutes versus approximately 38 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Maserati Grecale Folgore supports up to 22 kW, compared to up to 11 kW for the Mercedes-Benz EQC. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Mercedes-Benz EQC is the more efficient choice at 216 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Maserati Grecale Folgore has a WLTP rated range of approximately 530 km, which is roughly 119 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
