What makes them worth writing about is the charger: 7.4 kW and genuinely single phase, so a British house delivers the car its whole rating rather than a derated share of a three phase number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMercedes quotes ninety minutes for a full charge on a 7.4 kW wall box, and that figure is real rather than a workplace one. A 32A cable earns its price here, because a 16A lead would take about three hours instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2023 car is a different machine, and one figure is missing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe E-Class that arrived in 2023 nearly doubles the battery to 25.4 kWh gross, takes electric range to about 73 miles on the E 300 e and 69 on the E 300 de, and adds 55 kW DC rapid charging, which almost no plug-in hybrid has. The charge flap also moved from the rear offside to the rear nearside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts AC charger is quoted at 11 kW and labelled three phase, and no single phase figure is published anywhere we could find. That matters because Mercedes has a confirmed case of exactly this shape on the facelift A 250 e and CLA 250 e, where the three phase upgrade leaves a British house on 3.7 kW. We are not saying the E-Class does that; we are saying nobody publishes the number, so we will not invent one. If you have the 2023 car and the cable price difference matters, ask a dealer for the single phase rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 13.5 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 25.4 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A at home, 2019-2023 car draws 7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW, 2023 car only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree pin from a 13A socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach figure is the pack size divided by the power actually drawn, with 13 per cent added for charging losses and the result rounded to the quarter hour.
