The Mercedes EQS takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and for a UK home the 32A single phase version is the one to buy. It carries 7.4 kW, which is the most any wallbox in a British house can deliver.
The split that matters is Saloon against SUV. The EQS Saloon has an 11 kW onboard charger. The EQS SUV has a 22 kW charger. Mercedes offered a 22 kW charger on the Saloon in Europe, but we have not been able to confirm it was orderable here, so treat a UK Saloon as 11 kW unless you know otherwise.
Neither number changes anything on a driveway. UK houses are single phase, so both cars stop at 7.4 kW on a domestic wallbox. Three phase supplies turn up at some workplaces and public posts, and that is the only place a 22 kW lead pulls ahead. Buy the three phase cable if you plug in at those regularly. If you only ever charge at home, it is headroom the car will never use.
Battery sizes are big either way, so a slow cable costs you real time. Saloon models hold 107.8 kWh usable, rising to 118 kWh from the 2024 facelift. The SUV holds 108 kWh usable, again 118 kWh after the facelift. A 16A lead at 3.7 kW turns one overnight charge into a two night job.
Trim and line make no difference. EQS 450+, 500 4MATIC, 580 4MATIC and the AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ all use the same Type 2 socket and the same 11 kW charger. The SUV 450 4MATIC, 450+ and 580 4MATIC all use the 22 kW unit.
On length, 5m is enough when the car sits beside the charge point with the socket on the near side. Choose 10m if you park nose out, share a post with another car, or want to reach a second bay.
Every cable is IP55 rated, CE certified, and comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Every EQS, Saloon or SUV, uses a Type 2 socket, so the 32A single phase lead at 7.4 kW is the standard choice for home and public AC charging. It fills a 107.8 kWh Saloon in about 16h30m from empty, and the SUV in the same time.
Only if you charge on three phase. The EQS SUV can take 22 kW and finish in 5h30m, but a UK home supply is single phase and caps you at 7.4 kW whatever cable you plug in. Buy it for workplace or public three phase posts, not for the driveway.
About 16h30m from empty on a 7.4 kW wallbox with a 32A cable, for both the 107.8 kWh Saloon and the 108 kWh SUV. Most owners never run to empty, so a typical overnight session covers a normal week of driving. A 16A lead stretches the same charge to roughly 33h00m.
For 22kW posts and workplaces. The SUV carries a 22 kW onboard charger against the Saloon's 11 kW, which cuts a full charge to 5h30m instead of 11h00m on a three phase supply. Plug either car into a single phase UK wallbox and both draw 7.4 kW and take about 16h30m.
You can, using a Type 2 to 3 Pin lead at 2.3 kW, but a full charge takes roughly 53h00m on a 107.8 kWh battery. Treat it as a backup for holidays or a friend's house rather than your normal method. It is IP67 rated for outdoor sockets.
Take 5m when the EQS parks alongside the charge point and the socket faces it. Go for 10m if you reverse onto the drive, park nose out, or share a post at work. The extra length costs a little more and coils away easily, and it removes any doubt about reach.

The EQS Saloon and the EQS SUV are two different cars, and they charge at different speeds. The SUV has a 22 kW onboard charger. The Saloon has 11 kW. A 22 kW charger was offered as an option on the Saloon in Europe, but we have not been able to confirm it was orderable in the UK, so treat a UK Saloon as 11 kW unless you know otherwise.
Either way, on a normal single-phase UK home supply both cars charge at 7.4 kW. The 22 kW only pays off on three phase. Trim and line make no difference to charging.

Cable Type:
How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
Accessory Add-Ons
We offer a range of products to help store and transport your charging cable. Choose from the accessories below:
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles (EVs) with a Type 2 connector to charging points is also equipped with a Type 2 socket. It supports faster charging speeds and is commonly used across Europe for EVs with this standard connection.
This cable allows electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket to charge from a standard UK 3-pin domestic outlet. It provides a slower charge but is useful for home or emergency charging when dedicated charging stations aren't available.
A cable used to extend the reach of a Type 2 charging cable. It's helpful when the existing cable is too short to connect an electric vehicle to the charging point, providing more flexibility in parking.
A fixed charging cable attached to a charging point, designed for electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket. The tethered design eliminates the need to carry a separate cable, offering convenience for regular charging at home or work.
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles with a Type 1 socket to charging points equipped with a Type 2 outlet. This allows EVs with the older Type 1 standard to use more modern charging infrastructure.
This cable enables electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector to charge from a standard UK 3-pin household outlet. It's suitable for slower charging at home when dedicated EV charging points aren't accessible.
A 5M charging cable is the shortest length that we offer. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
A 10M charging cable is the most popular length. It allows you to have enough flexibility whilst still being easy enough to move. This is a great option if you cannot park close to the electricity supply.
A 15M charging cable is a great choice if you need some extra flexibility, i.e. get past another car or reach the other end of a driveway. The length of the cable does not affect the charging speed.
A 20M charging cable is the longest cable that we currently offer. 20M reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. If you have two electric cars or are looking to purchase another it might be worth considering a faster charging cable as this could limit charge speeds moving forward.
A 32amp charging cable will be able to charge at 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
