Which EV charger is suitable for the Mercedes EQA 250?
Because the EQA 250 charges at home at up to 11 kW, a 3-phase 11 kW EV charger is the logical choice. You should also consider whether you need certified consumption measurement. An integrated MID meter records charging consumption accurately and transparently. This is particularly useful when charging a company or lease vehicle at home and having the electricity costs reimbursed by an employer or business. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for participation in the ERE scheme. The ERE scheme is only available in the Netherlands.
| Situation | Recommended EV charger | MID meter | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard home charging | Peblar Home 11 kW | No | Compact 11 kW EV charger with a fixed Type 2 cable and charging power that is perfectly matched to the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250. A separate MID-certified kWh meter can be added when certified measurement is required. |
| Business use and charging reimbursement | Zaptec Go 2 22 kW | Yes | The integrated MID-certified energy meter records every charging session accurately. This makes the EV charger suitable for company or lease vehicle administration and reimbursement by an employer. In the Netherlands, it may also make the charger suitable for ERE registration. |
| Affordable basic solution | Besen 11 kW | No | Competitively priced 11 kW EV charger with a fixed Type 2 cable. Without an integrated MID meter, however, it is less suitable for certified business reimbursement or Dutch ERE registration. |

How long does it take to charge the Mercedes EQA 250?
The EQA 250 has a usable battery capacity of 66.5 kWh. With an 11 kW EV charger, a complete charge from empty to full takes approximately six hours in theory. Normal charging losses may make the actual charging time slightly longer. Connect the car after dinner and it will be fully charged the following morning. If you only have a 1-phase connection at home, the charging power is limited to a maximum of 3.7 kW and a full charge takes more than 17 hours. In that situation, upgrading to a 3-phase connection may be worthwhile.
Does the Mercedes EQA 250 need a MID meter?
An EV charger with a MID meter is not generally compulsory for private charging, but it is useful when you want to record your charging consumption accurately and transparently. For a company or lease vehicle, a MID-certified energy meter makes it easier to reimburse charging costs incurred at home. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be necessary for ERE registration. The ERE scheme is only available in the Netherlands. We therefore recommend an EV charger with a MID meter for the EQA 250, particularly for business use.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Mercedes EQA 250 need a 3-phase connection?
You need a 3-phase connection to use the full charging power of 11 kW at home. With a 1-phase connection, the EQA 250 charges at a maximum of 3.7 kW, which considerably increases the time required for a full charge. A qualified electrician can assess whether your fuse box is suitable for a 3-phase connection.
Can the Mercedes EQA 250 charge faster than 11 kW at home?
Not with a standard AC EV charger. The onboard charger of the EQA 250 accepts a maximum of 11 kW AC at home. A 22 kW EV charger therefore does not provide any additional charging speed. Faster charging is only possible at a DC fast-charging station, where the EQA 250 can charge at up to approximately 112 kW.
Should the EV charger be connected by an installer?
We strongly recommend having the EV charger connected by a qualified electrician. This is safer and may also be important for your insurance coverage. You can easily request installation together with your EV charger from Wallbox Discounter.
