Mercedes EV Charging Cables

The EQA, EQB, EQE, EQS and the wider plug-in hybrid range all charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector, the same lead nearly every modern EV in the UK takes. A few early Mercedes plug-ins may be Type 1, so check the charge port shape before ordering. We stock 5m to 30m in 7kW and 22kW ratings, with Mode 2 (3-pin granny) cables for emergency charging.

Choosing the right cable for your Mercedes

Mercedes-Benz's EV range (EQA, EQB, EQE, EQS, EQV, plus the new CLA EV and G-Class G580) is consistent in connector standards and conservative in fast-charging speed. Type 2 AC + CCS DC across every model. EQS is one of the few UK EVs that accepts 22kW AC.

Connector spec by model

  • EQA (2021+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. No V2L.
  • EQB (2022+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. No V2L.
  • EQC (2019-2023): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. Discontinued.
  • EQE (2022+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. No V2L.
  • EQS (2021+): Type 2 + CCS. 22kW AC (one of few UK EVs at this AC rate). 200kW DC peak.
  • EQV (2020+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. People-carrier variant.
  • CLA EV (2025+): Type 2 + CCS. 22kW AC. 800V architecture (320kW DC).
  • G-Class EV / G580 (2025+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC.

The EQS / CLA 22kW exception

Most UK EVs cap at 11kW AC: including BMW, VW, Tesla Model 3/Y, Polestar, and Volvo. Mercedes EQS (2021+) and the new CLA EV (2025+) are exceptions, accepting full 22kW AC on three-phase supply. If you have three-phase at home and an EQS or CLA EV, a 22kW cable + 22kW wallbox charges materially faster: 5 hours for a full 100kWh EQS battery vs ~14 hours on single-phase 7kW.

For other Mercedes EVs (EQA, EQB, EQE, EQC, EQV, G-Class), 22kW is wasted. They cap at 11kW. Don't over-spec.

800V architecture: CLA EV

The 2025 CLA EV is Mercedes' first 800V architecture, peaking at 320kW DC on a 350kW ultra-rapid. Older Mercedes EVs are 400V: peak 200kW DC.

AC charging speed at home

  • EQA, EQB, EQE, EQC, EQV, G-Class at 11kW: ~45 miles/hour. 80kWh battery refills overnight in 7 hours.
  • EQS, CLA at 22kW: ~80-90 miles/hour. 100kWh EQS in 5 hours.
  • Single-phase 7.4kW: ~25-30 miles/hour. Sufficient for daily commuting.

Length recommendations

Mercedes charge ports vary by model: typically rear-right on saloons (EQE, EQS), rear-left on SUVs (EQA, EQB), front on the EQV. For UK driveways, 7.5m or 10m Type 2 cable covers most layouts.

Smart-tariff integration

Mercedes me (the in-car app) does basic scheduling. For Octopus Intelligent or similar dynamic tariffs, pair your Mercedes EV with a smart wallbox, Ohme for the deepest dynamic-pricing integration.

What we stock for Mercedes

  • Type 2 cables in 5-30m, 7.4kW / 11kW / 22kW ratings.
  • Three-phase 22kW cables for EQS and CLA owners with three-phase supply.
  • 3-pin granny chargers for backup / holiday-let charging.
  • Replacement tethered cables for damaged Mercedes-branded wallbox tethers.

Three-phase install considerations

UK three-phase domestic supply is rare. If you have an EQS or CLA EV and want full 22kW home charging, confirm three-phase with a qualified electrician before ordering the wallbox + cable. The DNO upgrade from single-phase to three-phase costs £3,000-8,000, rarely worth it solely for the AC charging speed difference, more sense if you're also adding heat pumps or induction hobs that benefit from three-phase distribution.

Questions

Will this cable work with my Mercedes?
Every current UK Mercedes EV uses Type 2 (Mode 3). Older Mercedes hybrids or pre-2018 EVs may use Type 1, check your charge port: hexagonal 7-pin = Type 2, square 5-pin = Type 1.
What length cable should I get for my Mercedes?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Mode 2 portable cables work with all current Mercedes EVs.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items ship same-day if ordered before 16:00 on a working day. Standard delivery is next-working-day across mainland UK. Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and remote Highlands take 2-3 working days. Free delivery on orders over £150.
