Mercedes eCitan Charging cable

Mercedes eCitan Connector type:

The Mercedes eCitan uses a Type 2 connector for charging at charging poles/wallboxes and power sockets. The charging cables we show above all have the correct Type 2 for your Mercedes eCitan.

Mercedes eCitan Mobile versus fixed charging:

The Mercedes eCitan is best charged through a charging station/wallbox or through a wall socket. This can be a household socket or a CEE power outlet. The advantage of charging via a socket versus a charging station/wallbox is that it has lower purchase costs. The advantage of charging via a charging station/wallbox is that Many modern charging stations offer 'smart' features such as load balancing, remote monitoring, and integration with energy management systems. This can be useful for both households and businesses.

Mercedes eCitan Charging speed:

The Mercedes eCitan can handle up to 32A -3 phase charging. This makes the maximum charging capacity 22kW. If your power source is only 1 phase, like a household socket, this is not a problem, it's just that the charging speed is lower as a result.

Discover the range and charging capabilities of the Mercedes eCitan

The Mercedes eCitan, a car with a battery capacity of 45kWh, this guarantees an electric range of between 383km according to the WLPT standard. WLTP, which stands for "Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure", is an international standardised test procedure to measure the fuel consumption and emissions of light vehicles.

The Mercedes eCitan is equipped with a 3 phase 32A charging system. This allows it to charge at a speed of 139km/h. That translates into a full charge time of 2 hours, from 0% to 100%. This is due to its maximum charging capacity of 22kW and maximum amperage of 32A.

Connecting your Mercedes eCitan to a charging station or outlet

Important for Mercedes eCitan owners is the connector type. The car uses a type 2 connector. This type is ideal for charging at various charging stations, wallboxes and even standard sockets. Choosing a charging point may vary depending on your needs. A standard household socket or a CEE socket may be convenient because of its lower purchase cost. In contrast, many modern charging stations offer 'smart' features such as load balancing, remote monitoring and integration with energy management systems. These features can be beneficial for both households and businesses.For those considering buying a charging cable for the Mercedes eCitan, or simply looking for more information on the best way to charge this electric car, it is essential to know the compatibility and specifications well. And with the above details, you are already well on your way. When looking for the perfect charging cable for your Mercedes eCitan in our webshop, you can rely on these details to make the right choice.

Mercedes eCitan Charging cable

The Mercedes-Benz eCitan is the fully electric small van, sold as a Panel Van in two lengths and as a Tourer for passenger work. The compact Panel Van measures 4,498 mm and carries 2.9 cubic metres and up to 544 kg; the long version measures 4,922 mm and takes 3.7 cubic metres and up to 722 kg, both figures close enough to the diesel Citan that the switch costs you nothing in capability. An externally excited synchronous motor drives the front wheels with 90 kW and 245 Nm, and the 45 kWh usable battery sits in the underbody ahead of the rear axle, giving 266 to 283 km on the WLTP cycle for the Panel Van and up to 284 km for the Tourer. The CCS2 socket is at the front, behind the Mercedes star in the centre of the grille. AC charging is 11 kW as standard, with 22 kW available as an option, and DC rapid charging runs to 80 kW for a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in 38 minutes.

What the 22 kW option changes

Most electric vans charge at 11 kW and are done in four and a half hours, which is fine when the vehicle stops for the night. The eCitan can be ordered with a 22 kW onboard charger instead, and that halves it: a full charge in around two hours. That is a different kind of number. Two hours is a long lunch, a loading stop, a morning at a job. It turns the middle of the day into charging time rather than something you plan around, and on a vehicle that does two runs a day it is the difference between finishing and not.

The rest is straightforward. At 11 kW a full charge takes around four and a half hours. On a single-phase supply the van draws 32A on one phase for 7.4 kW, which is around six and a half hours, and unlike many 11 kW three-phase chargers this one genuinely takes the full 32A rather than dropping to 16A. DC is there for the days that go wrong: 80 kW, and 10 to 80 per cent in 38 minutes while you have a coffee.

Which cable, and why 22 kW is the safe answer

Because the 22 kW charger is an option rather than standard, a lot of eCitans on the road have it and a lot do not, and the two want different things from a cable. Our 22 kW Type 2 cable is the one we recommend either way. It carries 32A per conductor, so it delivers 22 kW to a van with the upgrade at a three-phase supply, 11 kW to a standard van, and the full 7.4 kW on a single phase at home or at a small depot. British homes and a good many yards are single-phase, and that last figure is where the difference shows: a 16A-per-conductor cable would hold the same session to 3.7 kW and turn six and a half hours into twelve.

An 11 kW cable is a sound choice if you know your van is the standard 11 kW spec and you charge on three phases, where it reaches the same rate in a lighter cable. On length, the eCitan is unusual: the socket is at the front, not the side or the rear. Park nose-in to the wall, which is how most vans end up in a bay anyway, and the run is short, so 6 metres covers it. Eight metres is the sensible default if the van reverses in, if the charge point sits to one side, or if the same cable has to reach more than one bay. Ten and fifteen metres are for shared yards, on-street parking and multi-vehicle installations where nobody chooses their own space.

Charging away from the depot

Work does not always happen where the chargers are. Our 22 kW portable charger plugs into a 32A red commando socket and carries the same 32A per conductor as the fixed cable, so a van with the 22 kW upgrade fills in around two hours and a standard van in around four and a half. Red sockets are common on the sort of premises this van visits: workshops, industrial units, builders' yards, event sites. For campsites, marinas and anywhere on a blue hookup, the blue 16A commando charger runs at 3.7 kW and fills the battery across roughly twelve hours, which an overnight stop covers.

Where the only supply is a household socket, the three-pin portable charger adjusts from 8A to 13A and draws up to 2.8 kW, within the limits of what the circuit can sustain. A full charge takes around seventeen hours, so it suits a van parked at home from Friday evening or standing over a weekend rather than a working night. A built-in thermal sensor watches the temperature at the plug and eases the current back automatically if the socket runs warm, which counts for more when you are drawing from unfamiliar wiring at a customer's premises. One thing worth saying plainly about all three: a cable that gets plugged in twice a day, handled by whoever is on shift, dropped on gravel and coiled away wet has a harder life than one that lives in a garage.
