Overview
The EQA is Mercedes-Benz's compact electric SUV: premium build, quiet with it, and quoted at up to 305 miles WLTP depending on the variant, with all-wheel drive available across the range. It charges on Type 2, and the number that matters for cable choice is the onboard AC charger at 11 kW.
Because of that 11 kW ceiling, the fastest AC option is a three-phase 32A cable, which will feed the car everything it can take and cover empty to full in around 6 hours 30 minutes. On DC the EQA accepts up to 100 kW, giving 10 to 80 per cent in roughly 30 minutes at a suitable rapid charger, though that uses the charger's own tethered lead rather than yours.
Which cable for the EQA
- Type 2 to Type 2. The everyday lead for home wallboxes and public posts across the UK, available in 5m and 10m.
- Type 2 to 3-pin. Plugs into an ordinary household socket, which makes it a practical fallback where no wallbox is fitted. Also 5m and 10m.
Estimated AC charging times, empty to full
| Cable type | Capacity | Charging time | Our recommendation |

| Type 2, single-phase, 16A | 3.7 kW | 19 hours 15 mins | |
| Type 2, single-phase, 32A | 7.4 kW | 9 hours 45 mins | |
| Type 2, three-phase, 32A | 22 kW | 6 hours 30 mins | Best fit |
| Type 2 to 3-pin | 2.3 kW | 31 hours (approx.) | Useful for home top-ups |
Every cable we sell is CE marked and TÜV certified to IEC 62196-2, weatherproofed to IP66, rated from -30°C to +60°C, and covered by a 24 month manufacturer warranty. If three-phase is the route you are taking, our 22kW charging cables collection has the lot. Free next-working-day UK delivery on orders over £150, and 30 days to return. Stuck between two options? Ask us, we do this all day.

Features
-
Run-over proof
Built to take the weight of a car, so you can drive over the cable without damaging it (protection against pressure).
-
All-weather rated
Rated IP55, with the Type 2 to 3-Pin version rated IP67, and built to operate from -30°C to +60°C, so it charges reliably through UK rain, frost and summer heat.
-
Universal Type 2 fit
Works with all Type 2 electric vehicles and every UK/EU home wallbox and public AC charge point. No brand lock-in.
-
CE / TÜV certified
Independently certified to CE and TÜV, and built to the IEC 62196-2 Type 2 connector standard.
-
3-pin option for home sockets
Choose the 3-pin version to top up from a standard UK domestic socket when there is no wallbox nearby. It is a separate cable option, not an attachment.
-
Three-phase option
Pick the 32A three-phase version to charge at up to 22kW where a three-phase supply is available. The single-phase versions charge at up to 7.2kW on a standard home wallbox.
Installation

- 02Wallbox end first, then the car. Push until the latch clicks.
- 03Check the car shows a charging state before you walk away.
- 04Coil loosely into the bag - no tight figure-of-eights.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
