Mercedes EQS charging cable

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is a fully electric full-size luxury SUV available in four variants: the rear-wheel-drive EQS SUV 450+ (265 kW / 360 PS, 0–62 mph in 6.1 seconds, WLTP up to 410 miles), the all-wheel-drive EQS SUV 450 4MATIC (265 kW / 360 PS, 0–62 mph in 5.8 seconds, WLTP up to 325 miles), the EQS SUV 580 4MATIC (400 kW / 544 PS, 0–62 mph in 4.5 seconds, WLTP up to 305 miles), and the AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ SUV (484 kW / 658 PS, 0–62 mph in 4.0 seconds, WLTP up to 305 miles). All variants share the same 107.8 kWh usable battery, 11 kW three-phase AC onboard charger as standard, and 200 kW DC rapid charging via CCS. The Type 2 and CCS ports are both located on the right rear quarter.

Battery and DC rapid charging

The 107.8 kWh usable battery sits beneath the floor of the EQS SUV on a 400-volt architecture. At a compatible DC rapid charger, all variants accept up to 200 kW, covering the 10–80% window in approximately 31 minutes. The efficiency difference between variants means the lower-powered 450+ recovers more range per minute of charging than the higher-output 580 and AMG 53, which consume more energy per mile. All variants support plug-and-charge functionality at compatible stations.

AC charging at home and at public wallboxes

The standard 11 kW three-phase onboard charger fills the 107.8 kWh usable battery from empty in approximately 11 hours at a compatible three-phase wallbox or public AC point. At a single-phase 7.4 kW supply, a full charge takes approximately 14 hours 30 minutes. A 22 kW three-phase onboard charger is available as an option on all standard variants, reducing the charge time from empty to approximately 5 hours 30 minutes at a 22 kW supply. Most EQS SUV owners charge overnight from a partial state, with the large battery comfortably covering several days of driving between charges.

Choosing the right cable

With the standard 11 kW onboard charger, an 11 kW Type 2 cable is the correct match across all variants, delivering the car's full AC rate at every public Type 2 point and compatible wallbox in Europe. If your EQS SUV is fitted with the optional 22 kW onboard charger, a 22 kW Type 2 cable is the right choice to make full use of the faster AC capability. A 22 kW cable is equally well suited to standard 11 kW-equipped cars and is ready for any future vehicle with 22 kW charging without any change of hardware.

Cable length

The charging port sits on the right rear quarter, so reversing to the wallbox on the right-hand side is the most natural approach at home. Given the EQS SUV's considerable length of over five metres, a 6 metre cable is the comfortable minimum for most home setups, and an 8 metre cable removes any constraint for public charging bays where the post is not directly beside the parking space. For locations with greater distances between post and bay, 10 and 15 metre cables are available. For fleet operators or commercial installations, Voldt® supplies cables up to 40 metres.

Portable charging with a CEE charger

A portable CEE charger gives the EQS SUV flexible AC charging wherever a fixed wallbox is not available. On a 16A single-phase CEE socket (3.7 kW), a full charge from empty takes approximately 29 hours, suited only to multi-day stops. On a 16A three-phase CEE socket (11 kW), a full charge takes approximately 11 hours, fitting within an overnight window. On a 32A three-phase CEE socket, standard 11 kW-equipped cars charge at the same rate in the same 11 hours; cars with the optional 22 kW charger charge at the full 22 kW rate, completing the charge in approximately 5 hours 30 minutes. Portable chargers are available from 3.7 kW to 22 kW, all fully compatible with the EQS SUV range.
