Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+ EV charger: which one fits best?
The Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+ belongs to a small group of EVs. They take the full 22 kW of alternating current at home. Most EVs stop at 11 kW on a home charger. With a three-phase connection this AMG draws double. Three-phase means the supply uses three live wires instead of one. That makes the charger choice here a little more interesting than on an average EV. Want the full picture? See our overview of the Mercedes EQS EV charger options, or all Mercedes EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+?
Because this EQS takes the full 22 kW AC, a 22 kW charger brings it from empty to full in about five hours. That assumes your meter box delivers the power. A 22 kW charger is the match that uses the car's full potential.
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter. It shows exactly how much power you charge at home, apart from the rest of your household use. On this car, which draws a lot of kWh per session, that insight adds up quickly. At 22 kW most chargers come with a built-in MID meter, so you have plenty of choice. Compare our chargers with a MID meter to see them.
No three-phase connection with 3x32 amps at home? Then an 11 kW charger is a sensible step. You charge at 11 kW without upgrading your meter box. Browse our 11 kW EV chargers, or start simply with our home charging stations. The EQS AMG uses a Type 2 connector, so you charge through the fixed cable of the station. A loose Type 2 charging cable is handy only for charging away from home.
How long does the Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+ take to charge?
With a 108.4 kWh battery, a full charge on an 11 kW charger takes about 10 hours. If your meter box delivers the full 22 kW, that halves to roughly 5 hours. For most drivers the difference shows mainly at night. On 11 kW the car is full by morning anyway. On 22 kW you gain when you top up between trips. A dynamic energy contract with short off-peak windows helps too.
Three-phase connection for the Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+
The full 22 kW needs a three-phase connection of 3x32 amps in your meter box. Many homes with three-phase power have a 3x25 amp connection. That still charges quickly, and an 11 kW charger is then often the most practical choice without upgrading. Want to move to 3x32 amps? Ask your grid operator for the current cost. We always advise having the connection done by a certified installer, which is safer and matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany this runs through a free quotation rather than a booked service. Shipping is worldwide, but installation stays within those three countries.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Mercedes EQS AMG 53 4MATIC+ really charge at 22 kW at home?
Yes. Most EVs stop at 11 kW on AC. This EQS AMG has an on-board charger that handles the full 22 kW. You do need a three-phase connection of 3x32 amps and a 22 kW charger to reach that speed in practice.
Why is a MID meter useful for this car?
A MID meter records precisely how much power you charge. That lets you see your home charging cost on its own, separate from your household use. On an EQS AMG, which takes a lot of kWh per session, that adds up fast. At 22 kW most chargers include a built-in MID meter.
Do I need a 22 kW charger, or is 11 kW enough?
For overnight charging an 11 kW charger is often enough, as the car is full by morning. A 22 kW charger helps when you top up quickly. It also helps if you run a second car or use a dynamic energy contract with short off-peak windows. Keep in mind that 22 kW asks for a heavier meter box connection.
