The EQB 250+ introduced for 2024 carries 70.5. Quoted ranges run from about 262 miles on the four wheel drive cars to 332 on the 250+, and the seven seat option is what draws most people to it in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnless three phases reach the wall box, and at a house they rarely do, the number that matters is 7.4 kW. That makes the 32A single phase cable the right buy, and any published charge time faster than the table below assumes three phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we checked this one twice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical data for the EQB 250+ lists its charger as three phase and gives no single phase figure at all, which on some cars is the warning sign of a charger that collapses to 3.7 kW on a British supply. Mercedes has exactly that trap on the facelift A 250 e and CLA 250 e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo we went looking for the amperage-by-amperage data rather than trusting the label, and it confirms the EQB still draws a full 7.4 kW from single phase at 32 amps. The label was misleading and the car is fine. It is the sort of thing worth knowing if you are comparing spec sheets across the Mercedes range, because the same wording means different things on different models.\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, 66.5 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 70.5 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 single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 hours 30 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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34 hours 45 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\u003eThose times come from dividing the pack by the delivered power and adding 13 per cent for losses, then rounding to the quarter hour. The range column assumes 3.5 miles per kWh rather than a summer best case. Columns are the 66.5 kWh cars and the 250+. Mercedes quotes 375 minutes for a full charge, which is an 11 kW figure; on a British supply expect about eleven hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDC rapid charging is 100 kW, which on a battery this size is a useful rather than spectacular motorway stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for an EQB\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear offside, on the right of the body, matching the EQA, EQC and the rest of the Mercedes electric range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQB is 4.68 metres and boxy with it, and the seven seat layout means the boot gets used, which tends to mean reversing onto the drive.
