Recommended equipment for a Mercedes
Based on the most common Mercedes configuration, Type 2 plug and three-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your Mercedes.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Mercedes accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 9.6 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Mercedes charges in single phase, up to 9.6 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Mercedes has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 9.6 kW of your Mercedes and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your Mercedes accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.

- GLC plug-in hybrid: 11 kW three-phase with the 31.2 kWh battery (1h37 from 20 to 80%), 7.4 kW for the 300 e with 13.5 kWh, 3.7 kW for the old 350 e.
