Mercedes-Benz offers one of the broadest electrified lineups in Europe, and the EQA, GLC 300e, A-Klasse PHEV and C 350e reflect that range well. Three are plug-in hybrids, one is fully electric, and each comes with a Type 2 inlet as standard. That shared connector means a single Voldt® cable works across all four, though the right power rating differs depending on which model sits on your driveway.
Onboard charging capacity by model
The Mercedes EQA is the fully electric model in this group, with an 11 kW AC onboard charger. A Voldt® 11 kW three-phase cable matches that capacity exactly and works at any compatible wall box or public charge point. A 22 kW cable is available for drivers who want to stay ahead of faster charging infrastructure without swapping cables later.
The Mercedes GLC 300e and Mercedes A-Klasse PHEV both support 7.4 kW AC charging, making a Voldt® 7.4 kW single-phase cable the right choice for both. The Mercedes C 350e comes with a 3.7 kW onboard charger as standard, upgradeable to 7.4 kW. A Voldt® 7.4 kW cable covers the upgraded configuration and leaves room to grow. All four models use a Type 2 inlet, so any Voldt® Type 2 charging cable connects without an adapter.
Choosing a cable length that works for your setup
Cable length is one of those decisions that seems minor until the cable does not reach. At home, the relevant variables are the distance from the wall box to the car, which side of the car the inlet is on, and whether the cable has to clear a step, a gate post, or a wall. A 4 m cable covers a compact garage where the wall box is mounted directly beside the parking space. Standard driveways and carports generally work well with 6 m or 8 m, which gives enough slack to reach either side of the vehicle without pulling taut.
For public charging, an 8 m cable handles most situations comfortably, including off-angle parking and bays where the post is further back than expected. If you frequently charge at workplaces or destinations with longer cable runs, or if you share a home charge point between two vehicles, 10 m or 15 m removes the guesswork entirely.

Portable charging for Mercedes drivers
A Voldt® portable EV charger connects to a standard Schuko socket for 3.7 kW or a CEE industrial outlet for up to 22 kW three-phase, with no fixed installation required. Rated IP67, it is built for outdoor use in all weather. For PHEV drivers, the smaller battery size of the GLC 300e, A-Klasse and C 350e means quicker top-ups, and a portable charger makes those top-ups possible at any location with a suitable outlet.
Why Voldt®?
Voldt® cables are CE, UKCA and TÜV certified, rated IP67, and backed by a 3-year warranty as standard. Every order ships free, with a 100-day hassle-free return policy. Stock is held in-market across the UK and Europe, so delivery is fast and reliable regardless of which Mercedes you drive.
