Mercedes EQB 300 / 350 4MATIC EV charger: which one fits best?
The Mercedes EQB 300 4MATIC and the EQB 350 4MATIC differ on the road. At home they do not: both charge at up to 11 kW. That makes your choice simple, because the same 11 kW charger suits either version. Want to compare more widely first? Look at the overview of the Mercedes-Benz EQB or at all Mercedes EV chargers.
For the Mercedes EQB 300 / 350 4MATIC we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Choosing an EV charger for the Mercedes EQB 300 / 350 4MATIC
Both versions charge at up to 11 kW. An 11 kW charger on a three-phase supply therefore gives the EQB its full speed. Three-phase means your home has three live wires instead of one. Most installers can check that for you in a minute. A 22 kW charger does not make it faster, because the car caps AC charging at 11 kW.
Two functions are worth a look for a car that pulls its full 11 kW at home. The first is load balancing. Your charger then watches how much power the rest of the house uses. It lowers the charging power when needed, so your main fuse holds. You will find it on our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing. The second is app control. On a charger with an app you set the session to start at night, when electricity is usually cheaper.
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter built into the charger. It shows exactly how much electricity went into your car at home. At 11 kW our range with a calibrated meter comes down to one model. Most chargers with a MID meter sit at 22 kW instead. Your EQB still charges at 11 kW on such a unit, so you lose no speed. You do need a heavier three-phase connection for it.
Browse the full range of 11 kW EV chargers to see which model fits your situation. Every unit made for use at home sits in our home EV chargers range. The EQB charges through a type 2 port, the same standard as most modern chargers. A separate type 2 charging cable is only useful for public charge points. At home the fixed cable of the charger does the work.
Charging times of the Mercedes EQB 300 / 350 4MATIC
With an 11 kW charger you fill the usable 66.5 kWh battery in about 7 hours, charging losses included. Plug the car in during the evening and it is ready the next morning, without any planning. A single-phase supply is slower. On a 7.4 kW single-phase connection a full charge takes about 11 hours. For daily use a three-phase supply with 11 kW is the more practical choice.

Frequently asked questions
Do the EQB 300 and 350 4MATIC charge at the same speed at home?
Yes. Both versions have an 11 kW onboard charger and the same usable battery of 66.5 kWh. At home they therefore charge at the same speed. The difference between the 300 and the 350 sits in the motor power, not in the charging speed on a charger.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter in the charger. It records your home charging separately from the rest of your household use. You then know exactly what went into the car, which helps if you want to track your charging costs. Settling those costs with an employer gets easier too. Without a MID meter your charger works just as well, you simply lose that precise reading.
Should I have the charger installed?
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. Rules for fixed electrical work differ per country, so it is worth knowing what applies where you live. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Shipping is worldwide, so do check whether your country falls inside that installation area.
