Mercedes EQS charging cable

The Mercedes-Benz EQS is the flagship of the electric range, available as both a saloon and an SUV. Variants span from the rear-wheel-drive 450+ to the dual-motor AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+, with usable battery capacities from 108 kWh on the 450 variants to 122 kWh on the 580 and above. WLTP ranges reach up to 544 miles on the most efficient saloon configuration and up to 418 miles on the SUV. Every variant shares an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger as standard, with a 22 kW upgrade available across the range. At 11 kW the EQS gains roughly 28 miles of range per hour, completing a full charge in around ten to twelve hours depending on battery size. The CCS charging port sits on the right rear flank.

One cable for the entire EQS range

Because the EQS range includes an optional 22 kW onboard charger, a Voldt® Type 2 charging cable rated at 22 kW is the single purchase that covers every scenario. For cars with the 22 kW charger it is the only cable that delivers the full rate: an 11 kW cable would cap a 22 kW charger at 11 kW on three-phase power and leave half the charger's capacity on the table. For cars with the standard 11 kW charger, the same 22 kW cable works at 11 kW without restriction and adds a significant advantage on single-phase home supplies.

Most UK homes feed the wallbox from a single phase. On that connection, the 22 kW cable's 32A conductors carry the full 7.4 kW the line can deliver: a complete charge in around fifteen to seventeen hours depending on battery size, comfortably inside a day-and-night window. An 11 kW cable, rated at 16A per phase, would hold the same wallbox to 3.7 kW and roughly double those times. At public and workplace chargers that supply three-phase power, the cable delivers whatever the car's charger can accept: 11 kW with the standard unit, 22 kW with the upgrade, no second cable required.

The charging port on the right rear flank mirrors a fuel filler position: reversing into a bay places the port closest to the charge point. At over five metres long in both body styles, the EQS benefits from generous cable lengths. A 6-metre cable handles most home driveways. Eight metres is the reliable everyday length. Ten metres adds reach at public chargers where the post sits further from the bay, and 15 metres covers hotel car parks, airport parking, and longer driveways without restriction.

Portable charging wherever the road leads

A Voldt® portable charger with a red three-phase commando plug rated at 32A connects to three-phase CEE sockets and delivers up to 22 kW for cars with the upgraded charger, or the standard car's 11 kW ceiling on the same socket. On a 16A three-phase CEE socket both charger variants charge at 11 kW. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, industrial units, farm buildings, and marinas: anywhere a three-phase supply runs to an accessible outlet, this charger turns it into a capable overnight charging point. The current is adjustable between 8A and 32A to match the supply.

The Voldt® blue CEE portable charger connects to the 16A single-phase sockets at campsites and holiday parks, charging at 3.7 kW. Over a multi-night stay it steadily rebuilds range and keeps the next day's driving comfortable. The Voldt® three-pin portable charger plugs into any standard UK domestic socket at up to 2.8 kW, within the limits of what the household wiring can sustain. Connected overnight at a country house or a hotel without dedicated chargers, it adds a useful top-up for local driving. A built-in thermal sensor tracks the plug temperature throughout the charge and reduces the current automatically if the connection warms up, protecting both the vehicle and the wiring.
