What's this in the instrument cluster?
I saw this "Charge" section in the mpg line today and not sure what that means.. Any ideas? What is this charging?

Maybe this has the answer

"Indeed it just reduces the strain on the alternator, which thus reduces gas consumption"

Is your G equipped with a mild hybrid and 48V battery system?

Is there a true retrofit option for a 2017 c43?

It means your alternator has kicked in and the battery is charging at that moment. Note that it doesn't always stay green because your alternator is not charging all the time. It kicks in after you take your foot off the gas following acceleration.
