Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My Mercedes EV?
Mercedes has rapidly expanded its EQ electric vehicle range, with models such as the EQA, EQB, EQC, EQE, and EQS becoming popular choices in the UK. But to get the most out of your EV, it’s important to have the right charging cable for home and public charging.
While rapid DC chargers have built-in cables, everyday charging at home, work, or public AC stations require a Type 2 charging cable.
In this guide, we’ll explain which charging cable you need for your Mercedes EV and how to choose the best option for your setup.
What Charging Connector Does a Mercedes EV Use?
All Mercedes EQ models sold in the UK are fitted with:
-
Type 2 port for AC charging (home, workplace, and public charge points).
-
CCS connector for rapid DC charging (no cable needed—already attached to the charger).
This means the essential accessory for your Mercedes EV is a Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable.
What Cable Length Should I Choose?
The best length depends on your charging situation:
-
5m cable – perfect for driveways or garages where the charger is close to the vehicle.
-
7m cable – a popular choice, offering extra flexibility for most setups.
-
10m or 15m cable – ideal if you rely on on-street charging or need extra reach.
The good news is that no matter which cable length you choose, your charging speed won't be affected. Find out more in our blog: Do Longer EV Cables Take Longer to Charge?
