Earlier it was reported that in the United States, customers were unhappy that the new Mercedes-Benz Cla supports only 800-volt charging with alternating current. That is, popular 400-volt terminals are not available to the sedan, and in conditions of undeveloped infrastructure of charging stations, this turned out to be a problem for car owners. The company reacted to criticism and assured that from 2026 the voltage converter will enter the standard package of the model, therefore, 400-volt and 800-volt devices will be compatible with CLA.
