Why Mercedes charging solutions are different
Mercedes offers a wide range of electric models, from the compact EQA to the luxurious EQS and various plug-in hybrids such as the GLC or C-Class PHEV. Each model places specific demands on the charging solution. The fully electric Mercedes EQ models are equipped as standard with a Type 2 connection for AC charging and CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging via DC. The AC charging power varies: most models charge with 11 kW, while more expensive models or option packages support 22 kW. DC fast charging goes up to 170 kW in EQ models, such as the EQS. Plug-in hybrids such as the GLC 300e or A250e almost always charge via a Type 2 connection on 1-phase or 3-phase AC (usually max. 3.7 to 7.4 kW). This means that the choice of a suitable charging cable or home charger depends on your model and charging location. Our charging solutions are tailored to this broad spectrum. They guarantee safe charging for both AC and DC, with a focus on maximum compatibility with Mercedes technology. For fast charging on the road, all models are equipped with the CCS standard. For home and office, we offer wall boxes, mobile chargers and charging cables that seamlessly connect to Mercedes EVs and PHEVs.
Charging at home or on the go? This suits Mercedes drivers
Mercedes drivers opt for quality, comfort and technology. This is reflected in their charging behaviour: Charging at home with a wallbox is popular with owners of an EQC, EQS or GLC PHEV. This allows you to use a stable 11 or 22 kW. Charging on the road is done via fast charging stations with CCS, especially on longer journeys. EQ models charge very quickly: from 10 to 80% in ±30 minutes. Holiday charging requires flexibility: with a mobile charger (charging cable for socket) you can charge wherever a regular socket is available. Business drivers often combine multiple charging options: at the office (11 kW wallbox) and on the road (DC fast charger). Depending on your usage pattern, driving distance and mains connection at home, you choose a suitable combination of charging station and charging cable.
