Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this charger every day?
Yes. IEC 60309 CEE sockets and plugs are built to withstand harsh, demanding environments and therefore provide robust durability that is capable of 3 Phase 315V to 415V capacity, which is superior to standard domestic outlets. Please ensure that an electrician checks the condition of your CEE socket, especially if you are going to use it to regularly charge your Mercedes EQB.
Is it safe to charge my vehicle from a 32A 3 phase CEE socket?
Yes – as long as the socket is in good condition it is safe to charge your Mercedes EQB model with this charger. The charger also includes in-built safety mechanisms and is certified to comply with the IEC 627572 standard for Mode 2 charging whereby the vehicle is connected to a three phase CEE socket.
Can I use this charger overnight?
Yes, if your CEE socket is in good condition, you can safely charge overnight. The charger automatically regulates the temperature of the control box and shuts off if needed. There is also a delay timer that can pause charging for up to 10 hours after it is plugged in.
Will the delay timer setting on the charger conflict with the vehicle's scheduled charging settings?
The Mercedes EQB‘s scheduled charging function can be used independently to initiate and terminate the charging. The scheduled charging function needs to be set first; then the charger plugged in (ensure that the delay timer on the charger is not set); set the current; then insert the Type 2 plug into the Type 2 socket of the vehicle. Ensure that scheduled charging is only set via the infotainment console in the car or the vehicle app. Using both the timer delay and the vehicle’s schedule charging setting can cause a conflict.
Is this charger capable of charging at 1 Phase and 3 Phase?
Yes. The charger is designed to switch to 220V – 240V if a vehicle has a single phase socket and between 380V to 415V if the vehicle has a 3 Phase socket. This ensures that a vehicle will only draw up to the maximum capacity of it’s Onboard charger.
What are the charging speeds of a 3 Phase 32A CEE charger
The 32A three phase CEE charger can charge up to 11kW. The approximate charging speeds are displayed in the table below. Calculations displayed are for 1 Phase vehicle / 3 Phase vehicle:
Current
Range per hour
10A 2,3 kW / 7 kW
6 to 9 miles / 21 to 28 miles
16A 3,7 kW / 11 kW
10 to 15 miles / 33 to 44 miles
26A 6,0 kW / 18 kW
21 to 27 miles / 54 to 72 miles
32A 7,4 kW / 22kW
23 to 33 miles / 66 to 88 miles
Please note… this table is illustrating the maximum charging speeds that this CEE charger is capable of delivering to a vehicle.
The charging speeds that your vehicle will receive during charging is also influenced by the following factors:
The vehicle’s maximum charging capacity: A vehicle that has a 3kW AC onboard charger will only receive a maximum 3kW from this charger. A vehicle that has an 11kW AC onboard charger will only receive a maximum 11kW from this charger.
Charging efficiency: Heavier or less efficient vehicles (SUVs for example) will gain fewer miles per hour, while smaller, more efficient cars will gain more. The health of the battery will also influence the charging speed.
Environmental Factors: Charging speeds and battery efficiency can decrease in cold weather, resulting in slightly fewer miles of range per hour. If the car is charging during a particularly hot day and the plugs become too hot, charging times may take longer if the cable, vehicle socket or charging point overheats.
Is the charger waterproof?
This charger consists of four main components: the blue CEE plug (camping plug), the cable, the control box (unit), and the Type 2 plug.
Blue CEE plug: The plug is protected from water when you plug it into a CEE socket. Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the CEE socket.
Cable: The cable is waterproof as long as the cable sheathing has no cuts or cracks.
Control box: The standard control box complies with protection class IP65. This protection class means that the control box can withstand light rain. If the control box is located outdoors, shelter it from heavy rain and ensure that it is not exposed to standing water.
Type 2 plug: The Type 2 plug has an outer shell that is designed to withstand rain and snow when connected to the vehicle socket. The vehicle socket is also designed to be waterproof and should therefore provide protection against water ingress when the Type 2 plug is connected. Water can often enter the Type 2 plug when the plug cap is replaced after charging. The plug cap must always be replaced after charging your vehicle, but make sure that the inside of the plug cap is dry. Do not leave the plug outdoors, drag the Type 2 plug across the ground, or drop it. Store the charger in a dry place when not in use.
My vehicle model is not listed. Is it still compatible with this charger?
If your vehicle has a CCS socket or Type 2 socket, then this charger is fully compatible with your vehicle. Please read the information in the product details to see a photo of what a CCS or Type 2 socket looks like.
Can I use this charger with a generator?
The CEE charger will work with a generator that has a pure sine wave and a neutral-earth bond, otherwise there would be issues with the vehicle and charger failing the initial safety checks. The generator must also have protection to ensure that it does not damage the charger when it is connected, surge protection for example. You should be able confirm this with the manufacturer of the generator or the dealer. Also, ensure that the voltage of the generator is compatible with 200V to 240V appliances.
Can I use a plug adapter?
No, we do not recommend using an adapter with this charger as they can interfere with the in-built safety mechanisms. You must only connect this charger to a single phase 16A CEE / camping socket. If you require connections to different sockets, please read about our multi-adapter charger.
