Mercedes-Benz EQ Series: Battery Capacity & Charging Guide
To get the most out of your Mercedes, you need a charger that matches its onboard capacity. Below is the 2026 compatibility list for the most popular EQ models:
| Mercedes-Benz Model | Battery Capacity (kWh) | Recommended Charger | Typical Home Charge Time (10-100%) |
| EQA 250+ / 350 | 66.5 – 70.5 kWh | Zignova Pro (11kW) | ~6.5 – 7 Hours |
| EQB 300 / 350 | 66.5 kWh | Zignova Pro (11kW) | ~6 Hours |
| EQE Sedan / SUV | 89 – 90.6 kWh | Zignova Pro (22kW) | ~4.5 – 8 Hours* |
| EQS Sedan / SUV | 107.8 – 118 kWh | Zignova Pro (22kW) | ~5 – 10 Hours* |
| EQV (Electric Van) | 90 kWh | Zignova Pro (11kW) | ~8.5 Hours |
| GLB Electric (2026) | 85 kWh | Zignova Pro (22kW) | ~4 Hours (on 22kW AC) |
*Note: While many Mercedes models come with an 11kW onboard charger as standard, upgrading to a 22kW Zignova Pro series ensures your home setup is future-proofed for models equipped with the 22kW AC fast-charging option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I use a Zignova charger instead of the official Mercedes-Benz Wallbox?
Absolutely. The Zignova Pro Series is fully compatible with all Mercedes-Benz EQ models (EQA, EQB, EQE, EQS, and EQV). It uses the standard Type 2 European plug required by Mercedes and offers smarter app features and higher durability for the UAE climate.
2. Do I need DEWA or TAQA approval to replace my existing charger?
Yes. In the UAE, any new EV charger installation or significant replacement requires authority approval to ensure your villa’s electrical load is safe. EVSHIELD specializes in this, handling the entire process with DEWA (Dubai), TAQA/ADDC (Abu Dhabi), and SEWA (Sharjah) so you don’t have to.
3. Why should I choose a 22kW Zignova Pro if my Mercedes only supports 11kW?
While many current Mercedes models charge at 11kW AC, the Zignova Pro 22kW is a “future-proof” investment. It allows you to charge at the maximum speed the car allows today, while being ready for newer models or secondary vehicles that may support 22kW charging in the future.
4. I live in a rented villa; can EVSHIELD help me with the installation?
Yes. We support both owners and tenants. For tenants, we help coordinate the necessary NOC (No Objection Certificate) from your landlord and the developer, ensuring the installation is compliant and can even be “shifted” or replaced if you move out later.
5. How long does the professional installation take?
Once authority approvals are secured, the physical installation by the EVSHIELD team typically takes only 4 to 6 hours. This includes a full electrical load study, cable tray installation, and final testing/commissioning of your Zignova charger.
6. Can I install a charger if I don’t have enough space in my garage?
Space is rarely an issue for our team. We offer customized solutions like EV charger bollards and customized signage to place your charger in the most convenient spot, even if it’s not directly on a wall. We also provide EV charger shades to protect your unit from direct sunlight.
7. Does the Zignova Pro Series support remote monitoring?
Yes! Unlike some older wallbox models, the Zignova Pro Series comes with a dedicated smart app. You can start/stop charging, schedule sessions during off-peak hours to save on electricity, and monitor your energy consumption in real-time.
8. Can I use a non-Mercedes charger for my EQS??
Yes! As long as the charger is a Type 2 CCS standard and professionally installed by a DEWA-approved team like EVSHIELD, it is safe and often more feature-rich than the original.
