Hi @KC:, this is true. The Mercedes Benz EQC is able to be slow, fast and rapid charged from public points, depending on the network and type of charge unit. In most cases, slow charging requires a 3-pin-to-Type 2 cable, and fast charging a Type 2-to-Type 2 cable, one of which is usually supplied with the vehicle. For rapid charging, the vehicle uses a tethered CCS connector which is part of the charging unit.

Thanks for this. The property where I am using the 3pin charger is a new build and I had an electrician confirm it is fine for charging the EQC. I guess the question I am trying to answer is will charging an EQC with a 3pin charger affect the range. It’s a question which no one seems to be able to answer. Some EQC specialists have said “it shouldn’t” affect the range but it seems the evidence is not there. Would be great to hear from anyone else that’s been using the 3pin chargersHere's a good article that covers a lot of information on 3 pin charging.
