Mercedes EQE 350 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Mercedes EQE 350+ charges at home with up to 11 kW. That figure is AC power, or alternating current: the ordinary mains supply from your fuse box. With a usable battery of 90.6 kWh, a fixed charger is the sensible choice. You plug in at night and leave in the morning with a full battery.
The EQE also comes as an SUV and as two AMG versions, and each one has its own page here. Our Mercedes EV charger overview puts them side by side.
For the EQE 350+ we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.
Did you order the car with the optional 22 kW onboard charger? Then a 22 kW EV charger halves the time.

Which EV charger fits the Mercedes EQE 350+?
The EQE 350+ charges at 11 kW as standard. An 11 kW charger uses that power in full, so it suits most drivers. Do you have the optional 22 kW onboard charger and a three-phase supply, meaning three phases instead of one? Then a 22 kW charger brings the time down to roughly four hours.
A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter built into the charger itself. Because it sits in the charger, it counts your charging apart from the rest of the household. You see exactly what charging at home costs you, month after month.
You will find that meter in our chargers with a MID meter. Across our 22 kW range it is common; in the 11 kW range it is the exception rather than the rule, so check the specification before you order. Our EV chargers with an app let you set a start time and follow each session from your phone.
The EQE 350+ has a Type 2 connection, like most modern chargers. At home you charge straight from the charger itself. A separate Type 2 charging cable is needed for public charge points, or at home if your charger has a socket rather than a fixed cable.
Part of that range comes with a socket, and there are also models with a fixed cable already fitted. Our home EV chargers bring together the models made for charging at home.
How long does the Mercedes EQE 350+ take to charge?
The usable battery holds 90.6 kWh. Divide that by 11 kW and a full charge takes about eight hours, well within a night. With the optional 22 kW onboard charger and a 32 A three-phase supply you are down to roughly four hours.
On a single-phase supply the car draws up to 7.4 kW. A full charge then runs to about twelve hours. Only a three-phase supply lets the car reach its full 11 kW.
Away from home the EQE 350+ takes up to 170 kW of direct current, or DC. The rapid charger feeds that current straight into the battery. It bypasses the onboard charger, which is why it goes so much faster.
We always advise having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer, and it matters for your insurance. Rules differ per country, so check what applies where you live. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Outside those three countries you arrange the work locally. Shipping, on the other hand, is worldwide.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Mercedes EQE 350+ need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. On a single-phase supply the EQE 350+ charges at up to 7.4 kW, so a full charge takes about twelve hours. Not sure what you have at home? Ask a qualified electrician to look at your fuse box.
Why does a MID meter matter for the EQE 350+?
The EQE has a large battery, so a full charge moves a lot of kilowatt-hours. A calibrated meter in the charger records those separately from your household use. That turns home charging into a figure you can actually check.
