That last part is the useful bit: a British house delivers the whole 7.4 kW rather than a derated share of a three phase figure, so a 32A cable gives the car everything and a full charge takes about two and a quarter hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing on this car takes DC. There is no rapid socket to fall back on, so the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 lead\u003c\/a\u003e is not an accessory you might use, it is the only route electricity ever takes into the battery. Buy a used one without a cable in the boot and it is a petrol car until you do. That applies to this generation only. The 2022 car gained a DC socket, and a substantial one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2022 car has remarkable DC charging and an unpublished AC figure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLC that arrived in 2022 more than doubles the battery to 31.2 kWh gross and takes electric range to about 81 miles on the 300 e and 79 on the 300 de. It also takes 60 kW on DC, for a ten to eighty per cent stop in about twenty minutes. On a plug-in hybrid that is close to unheard of, and it genuinely changes what the car can do on a long journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is not published anywhere is its AC charging power. We looked at Mercedes's own material, the German technical databases and the independent EV databases, and the AC field is simply empty on every one of them: the Type 2 inlet is confirmed present and its rating is not stated. So we are not going to tell you whether a 32A cable helps on that car. If it matters to you, ask a dealer, and in the meantime the DC capability means you are less dependent on the answer than you would be on most plug-ins.\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, 31.2 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, 2019-2022 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 45 mins\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\u003e9 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 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\u003e15 hours 15 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\u003eHours are worked from battery size against power drawn, plus a 13 per cent allowance for what is lost as heat, rounded to fifteen minutes.
