Mercedes EQC 4Matic 2019-2020 charging cable

The Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 4MATIC launched in 2019 as the brand's first purpose-built electric SUV, carrying an 80 kWh usable battery paired with a 7.4 kW single-phase onboard charger. That 7.4 kW is the ceiling for all AC charging, whether at home or at a public charge point with a higher-rated output. At 7.4 kW, the EQC adds around 45 km of range per hour and charges fully in around eleven hours. The CCS Type 2 inlet sits on the right rear flank, behind the passenger door.

Which charging cable fits the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 4MATIC 2019

The correct option is a 7.4 kW Voldt® Type 2 charging cable, which perfectly matches the car's maximum charging speed. A 22 kW cable works equally well at 7.4 kW and is worth considering if you plan to use it with a three-phase capable vehicle in the future, while a standard 11 kW cable would restrict your charging speed to 3.7 kW due to its 16A limit.

The right-rear port mirrors the position of a conventional fuel filler, so reversing into a bay puts the port closest to the post. At most public charge bays, parking orientation is not always your choice, which makes cable length more important than it might seem on a home driveway. An 8-metre cable is the comfortable everyday standard for mixed home and public use. A 10-metre cable is the practical choice for stress-free parking in any orientation. A 15-metre cable removes all doubt on longer driveways and unpredictable hotel car parks.

Portable charging for travel and outdoor use

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable is available up to 22 kW via three-phase CEE. For the 2019 EQC, the onboard charger accepts up to 7.4 kW, so output is matched automatically. At a 32A CEE socket on a campsite, marina or workplace, the EQC charges at its full 7.4 kW, adding around 45 km of range per hour. The Schuko portable charger delivers up to 3.7 kW wherever only a standard socket is available.
