Mercedes-Benz EQA
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your EQA+−
The Mercedes-Benz EQA has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.
Which Mercedes-Benz EQA versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Mercedes-Benz EQA, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Mercedes-Benz EQA EQA 250
- Mercedes-Benz EQA EQA 250+
- Mercedes-Benz EQA EQA 300 4MATIC
- Mercedes-Benz EQA EQA 350 4MATIC
- Mercedes-Benz EQA AMG Line Premium
- Mercedes-Benz EQA AMG Line Premium Plus
Whichever EQA trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Mercedes-Benz EQA.
The Mercedes-Benz EQA is a fully electric compact SUV, built on the H243 platform and on sale in the UK since 2021. It is available in rear-wheel drive (EQA 250 and 250+) and four-wheel drive guises (EQA 300 and 350 4MATIC), all sharing a 66.5kWh usable battery. DC rapid charging is supported at up to 100kW via the CCS port, while AC charging uses a Type 2 inlet with the Type 2 to Type 2 cable you bring yourself.
The EQA's onboard AC charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases, which is the standard figure across Mercedes-Benz's EQ range. This means a UK home on a single-phase supply caps at 7.4kW for AC charging, while three-phase home supplies or compatible public AC points can deliver the car's full 11kW. DC rapid charging at up to 100kW uses the tethered cable at the charge point and requires no cable purchase.
All EQA variants share the 66.5kWh usable battery and 11kW AC charging rate. The main difference between the 250 and the 300/350 4MATIC is the drivetrain, not the charging speed. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the EQA need?
The EQA's onboard AC charger peaks at 11kW on three phases, but most UK homes have single-phase supplies, which limits home charging to 7.4kW. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the practical default for most EQA owners: it delivers the full output of a single-phase wallbox and covers the majority of public AC charge points without any compromise.
A 22kW cable is the better investment if you have access to a three-phase home supply or frequently use 22kW AC charge points away from home. On those connections the EQA draws its full 11kW. On a standard single-phase home circuit the 22kW cable charges at exactly the same 7.4kW, so it offers future access rather than immediate speed gains.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 66.5kWh battery from empty costs around £5 on an off-peak EV tariff at roughly 7.5p per kWh, or around £18 at a standard rate of roughly 27p per kWh. Setting up a dedicated overnight EV tariff is the most economical way to run the EQA day-to-day. Public rapid DC charging is substantially more expensive per kWh. Check current tariff rates as these change over time.

Mercedes-Benz EQA FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Mercedes-Benz EQA need?+−
The Mercedes-Benz EQA has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC at up to 11kW.
Can the Mercedes-Benz EQA charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz EQA has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Mercedes EQA need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. A 5m length suits most driveways. The EQA's onboard charger peaks at 11kW on three phases: on a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable delivers the full available speed. A 22kW cable adds value only if you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC points regularly.
Can the Mercedes EQA charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, when connected to a three-phase supply. The EQA's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases. Most UK home supplies are single-phase, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW. You need a three-phase wallbox or a 22kW public AC charge point to reach the EQA's maximum 11kW AC rate.
How long does the Mercedes EQA take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox, charging the 66.5kWh battery from empty takes around 9.5 hours, easily achieved overnight. At 11kW on a three-phase supply, that reduces to around 6.5 hours. A standard 3-pin socket is much slower at around 30 hours and is not a practical regular charging method for the EQA.
How fast does the Mercedes EQA rapid charge?+−
The EQA supports DC rapid charging at up to 100kW via CCS. At that rate, a 10 to 80 percent charge can be completed in around 30 to 35 minutes depending on conditions. DC charging uses the charger's own tethered cable at the rapid charge point; you do not need to purchase a cable for DC charging.
