Mercedes-Benz Opens US Orders for 2027 G 580 Electric with Native NACS Port

Mercedes-Benz has officially opened the order books in the United States for the updated 2027 G 580 Electric. The starting price for the luxury electric off-roader has climbed to $165,200, which includes a mandatory $1,450 destination charge alongside a base vehicle sticker price of $163,750. This represents a minor increase over the prior model year's $164,550 total. Fully configured dealer examples with added optional equipment can reach around $187,650.

The most significant upgrade for the 2027 model year sits directly behind the charging flap. Mercedes-Benz replaced the outgoing single CCS1 inlet with a dual-connector arrangement consisting of a native NACS port alongside a separate J1772 socket for Level 2 alternating-current charging. This setup grants drivers direct access to Tesla's Supercharger fast-charging network without requiring an adapter. DC fast-charging performance has also improved: replenishing the 117-kWh battery pack from 10 to 80 percent now takes 29 minutes, down from 32 minutes previously, while peak charging capacity remains capped at 200 kW. For Level 2 charging at home or at public AC stations, the onboard charger supports up to 9.6 kW, allowing a full charge on a 240-volt circuit in roughly 13.6 hours.

Efficiency gains have slightly lengthened overall driving distance. The EPA combined rating has improved from 62 MPGe to 71 MPGe, which increases the electric SUV's estimated driving range from 239 miles to 249 miles on a single charge. Mechanically, the G 580 Electric remains identical to its predecessor. A quad-motor powertrain continues to deliver a combined output of 579 horsepower (432 kW) and 858 lb-ft of torque. That output enables the boxy SUV to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, with top speed electronically restricted to 112 mph.

The functional updates arrive as Mercedes-Benz attempts to bolster interest in its electrified G-Class. Global deliveries reached approximately 1,450 units through late April 2025, lagging far behind the roughly 9,700 combustion-powered G-Class models sold in the same timeframe. Although the manufacturer previously raised customer incentives from 5 percent to 10 percent to stimulate demand, this update focuses on practical usability enhancements rather than deeper price discounting.
