In astrophysics, accretion is the process by which a massive object acquires matter. The infall leads to the extraction of gravitational energy. Accretion onto dark compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs is a crucial process in astrophysics as it turns gravitational energy into radiation. The accretion process is an effective technique to investigate the properties of other theories of gravity by examining the behavior of their solutions with compact objects. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of test particles around a charged four-dimensional Einstein–Gauss--Bonnet (4𝐷 EGB) black hole in order to understand their innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and energy flux, differential luminosity, and temperature of the accretion disk. Then, we examine particle oscillations around a central object via applying restoring forces to treat perturbations. Next, we explore the accretion of perfect fluid onto a charged 4𝐷 EGB black hole. We develop analytical formulas for four-velocity and proper energy density of the accreting fluid. The EGB parameter and the charge affect properties of the test particles by decreasing their ISCO radius and also decreasing their energy flux. Increasing the EGB parameter and the charge, near the central source reduces both the energy density and the radial component of the infalling fluid’s four-velocity.
