Thanks for your question. To my knowledge the B250e is fitted with an 11 kW on-board charger as standard for AC charging. Therefore, even when connected to a fast charger with a rated output above 11 kW, the Mercedes-Benz B 250e will only be able to charge at the on-board charger’s maximum level.
Hope that helps.
