The Mercedes E 300e (PHEV) has a reported range of approximately 110 km for models manufactured from 2024 and around 40 km for models manufactured before 2024. All models of the Mercedes E Class PHEV have a Type 2 socket. All of the Type 2 charging cables that we have available to buy on this page (listed below) are compatible for charging all models of the E Class. The maximum charging speed when connected to an AC charging point is 3,7kW for the earlier models and 11kW for models manufactured from 2024. Please check beforehand as this information can change. Concerned that the charging cable might exceed your vehicle’s maximum charging capacity? Don’t worry. Regardless of whether the cable is 7kW, 11kW, or 22kW, it’s safe to use. The vehicle software is designed to ensure it does not draw more current than it can safely accept.
Which is the best Mode 3 Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable for the Mercedes E 300e?
If the AC onboard charger (OBC) is 1 Phase (3,7kW charging capacity),
we recommend the 1 Phase 32A charging cable. If the OBC is 3 Phase (11kW / 60+ miles),
we recommend the 3 Phase 16A charging cable. If you are not sure then you can use the 3 Phase 16A charging cable with all models of the E 300e. It does not matter what cable you use as the vehicle will only draw the maximum current that it’s OBC allows. So the 3 Phase 16A cable is recommended as the catch all cable. Please check with your dealer or seller as this information is subject to change.
Which Schuko charger is recommended for charging the Mercedes E 300e with a 16A Schuko plug?
If you require a single phase 2 pin household charger (also known as Mode 2, Schuko charging cable and portable charger) for charging the Mercedes E 300e with a 16A 230V Type F household / Schuko socket, we recommend our variable power 8A 10A 13A 16A Schuko charger because it is suitable for charging an electrical vehicle at lower currents. The fixed 16A Schuko charging cable that is recommended for emergency charging is not suitable for regularly charging an electrical vehicle. The fixed 16A household charger might also require a Type B RCD to be fitted in your fuse board. The adjustable 8A 10A 13A 16A Schuko charging cable has Type B 6mA DC protection built in.
Can I charge the Mercedes E 300e with a CEE socket?
If your premises has a CEE socket (also known as Commando socket, CEEform or high power socket), or you want to charge your vehicle at a location that has one, such as an industrial unit, campsite or marina, then we have a selection of 1 Phase and 3 Phase CEE charging cables to fit all all 3 pin and 5 pin CEE sockets. The CEE socket may be 1 Phase 16A or 32A or 3 phase 16A or 32A. So please check before you buy. We also sell a multi adapter charger that can be used to charge the Mercedes E 300e with both 3 Phase (red) 16A (11kW) and 32A (22kW) CEE sockets and both 1 Phase (blue) 16A (3,7kW) and 32A (7,4kW) CEE sockets.
Which charging cables are included with the Mercedes E 300e?
The information we have states that there is a Type 2 to Schuko charging cable supplied with the Mercedes E 300e. From experience, we know that this information can change. Even when a cable does not come factory supplied with the EV, the dealer / seller still might provide one anyway or the manufacturer may stop including a cable as standard. The best way to be certain is to contact your dealer / seller to confirm which charging cable(s) are supplied with the vehicle.

The recommended charging speed for a household socket is 10A. If you are charging at 16A, reference the charging time for 16A 1 Phase 3kW. All charging times are approximate due to the variables that can influence the charging times. For earlier models with an approximate range of 40 km, the charging times are around 2.5 hours when using any Type 2 to Type 2 cable and 4 hours with a 10A 3 pin charger. To date, all Mercedes models manufactured for Europe have an AC Type 2 socket.
This is a guide only and the charging times and charging capacity depend upon the model and battery capacity of your electric vehicle as well as the charging capacity of the charging point. A charging cable described as 3kW has a maximum charge of 3,7kW. A charging cable described as 7kW has a maximum charge of 7,4kW. The EV cables below are not manufactured by Mercedes. However, all the cables below are compatible with this EV. Please read your vehicle handbook for specific charging information.
