Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV
Charging cable
The EQE SUV is 11kW three-phase as standard. The optional 22kW charger charges faster on a three-phase supply. The 22kW cable is the right one either way.
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your EQE SUV+−
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 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.

Charging
the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is the raised, five-door SUV body version of the EQE range, built on Mercedes's dedicated EVA2 platform and on sale in the UK from 2023. Underpinning it is a 90.6kWh usable battery with DC rapid charging up to 170kW via CCS. On AC, the inlet is Type 2, and the cable you bring to a home wallbox or public AC charger is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
AC charging on the EQE SUV is worth looking at closely before you buy a cable, because the specification has a notable option. The standard car has an 11kW three-phase onboard charger; Mercedes offered an optional 22kW three-phase charger on some variants. If your car has that upgrade, a higher-rated cable makes a genuine difference at suitable charge points. DC rapid charging at up to 170kW uses the charger's own tethered cable and is not something you carry yourself.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. 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 EQE SUV need?
For the standard EQE SUV with its 11kW three-phase onboard charger, the right home cable is determined by your supply. UK homes are almost universally single-phase, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW regardless of the cable or wallbox rating. At that speed the 90.6kWh battery takes around twelve to thirteen hours from empty, so overnight charging is the natural pattern. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the correct and practical choice for that setup.
The EQE SUV's optional 22kW charger changes the equation at compatible charge points. With the upgrade fitted and a three-phase supply available (either at home or at a public 22kW AC point), the car can pull 22kW. A 22kW-rated cable is required to unlock that speed. Check your specification carefully before buying: the order confirmation or a Mercedes dealer can confirm which charger your car has. On single-phase home supplies the 22kW cable still delivers only 7.4kW.
A 5m cable suits most home setups. For longer driveways or where the wallbox is set well back from the parking position, a 7m or 10m cable gives enough slack to reach without awkward tension.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 90.6kWh battery from empty costs roughly £7 at an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £24 on a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. As a premium large SUV the EQE SUV carries a bigger pack than most, so an off-peak tariff makes a bigger difference to monthly bills than it would for a smaller car. Public rapid chargers at 45p to 80p per kWh are a costly way to fill this battery regularly. Check current rates before estimating running costs.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat 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-Benz EQE SUV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For the standard 11kW version on a single-phase UK home supply, a 7.4kW cable provides the full speed available at home. If your car has the optional 22kW three-phase charger and you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC chargers, a 22kW cable lets it charge at its maximum AC rate.
Can the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV charge at 22kW?+−
Only if your car has the optional 22kW three-phase AC charger fitted. The standard EQE SUV tops out at 11kW on three phases. Even with the 22kW option, you also need a three-phase power supply (at home or a 22kW public AC point) and a 22kW-rated cable. Check your car's specification to see which charger was ordered.
How long does the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox the 90.6kWh battery takes around twelve to thirteen hours from empty, making it an overnight charge. On an 11kW three-phase supply the time is roughly eight to nine hours. With the optional 22kW charger and three-phase supply it can drop further still. A granny charger is impractical for this battery size.
What length cable do I need for the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV?+−
A 5m cable handles most driveways comfortably. Given the EQE SUV's size, consider a 7m lead if the wallbox is at any distance from where you park, or the charging inlet falls on the far side of the car from the socket. A 10m cable is an option for longer driveway runs.
