Mercedes-Benz · Home charging

A charging setup matched to your Mercedes-Benz.

Charging speeds

What your Mercedes-Benz can accept

Connector

Mercedes-Benz EVs sold in Australia use Type 2 for AC charging, and CCS2 for public DC fast charging.

AC charging

Some EQ models offer an optional higher-rate onboard charger, one of the few cases a 22kW charger is fully usable — check if yours has it.

Solar

Solar suits Mercedes-Benz ownership well if the car is home during the day, diverting surplus generation into the battery.

Load management

Worth specifying if your switchboard is near capacity, you run ducted air conditioning, or a second EV is likely.

Installation

Typical installation for these owners

Most Mercedes-Benz owners run a single-phase 7kW charger from a nearby switchboard; three phase is worth it with a higher onboard AC limit, higher daily kilometres, or a second EV likely.

Range-per-hour figures are estimates based on mixed Australian driving efficiency, not lab figures. Onboard AC limit is the real ceiling — a higher-rated wall charger cannot exceed it.

Charging tips

Getting the most from home charging

  • Charge port position determines charger location and cable length.
  • Switchboard capacity and protection are assessed first.
  • Cable routing is agreed with you on site.
  • The circuit is tested and commissioned with your car present.

FAQs

Mercedes-Benz charging questions

  • Can I charge my Mercedes-Benz from a normal power point?

    Yes, but it's slow — around 10–15km of range per hour. A dedicated wall charger is faster and safer.

  • Do I need a charger from Mercedes-Benz specifically?

    No. Every EV sold new in Australia uses the Type 2 connector, so any quality Type 2 charger works.

  • How long will an overnight charge take?

    At 7kW most EVs add around 40km of range per hour, comfortably covering typical Sunshine Coast driving overnight.
