What charge port does the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan use?

CCS1 (Combined Charging System) - a J1772-shaped AC inlet with two extra DC pins below it. No adapter is needed for the port it ships with.

How fast does the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan charge at home?

Up to 9.6 kW on a Level 2 (240V) charger - but only if your home charger and circuit are rated at least that high. A J1772 Level 2 charger rated at or above the car's onboard rate is what actually matters; a higher-rated charger past that point does not add speed.

How fast does the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan charge at a DC fast charger?

The source GarageDex cites for this model does not publish a single peak DC kW figure - see the source link under the table.

What size charger and breaker does the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan need?

Its 9.6 kW onboard charger draws about 40A at 240V, so a 40A Level 2 charger on a 50A circuit lets it charge at full speed. EV charging is a continuous load under the National Electrical Code, which is why the breaker is 125% of the charger's rating. A smaller charger also works, just slower.

Does the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan need an adapter for Tesla Superchargers?

Yes. With its CCS1 port it needs a NACS DC adapter, and Tesla only allows the adapter supplied by Tesla or Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz says: "will be available for purchase at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the United States for $185 in Q1 2025"

NACS adapter and Tesla Superchargers for the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan

The 2022 to 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan has a CCS1 port. At a Tesla Supercharger it needs a NACS DC adapter, and Tesla only allows the one from Mercedes-Benz or Tesla.

Tesla's rule: “Supercharging is only accessible for NACS-equipped vehicles and CCS1-equipped vehicles with an NACS DC adapter provided by Tesla or your vehicle’s manufacturer. For safety reasons, using third-party adapters is prohibited.” Tesla Support

Tesla Supercharger access: “Beginning February 2025, Mercedes-Benz BEV drivers will gain access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States and Canada” Mercedes-Benz USA Media: BEV Drivers Gain Access to Tesla Supercharger Network from February 2025 (2025-01-09)
Official adapter: “will be available for purchase at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the United States for $185 in Q1 2025” Mercedes-Benz USA Media: BEV Drivers Gain Access to Tesla Supercharger Network from February 2025 (2025-01-09)
Built-in NACS port: “For the CLA with EQ Technology, the vehicle comes standard with a CCS1 to NACS adapter for DC fast charging at stations with a CCS1 charging connector to connect to the NACS port on the CLA.” mbusa.com: Charging with NACS
Other adapters: “Please be aware that Tesla policy prohibits the use of third-party adapters that are not sold or distributed by an automaker.” mbusa.com: Charging with NACS

Which Level 2 charger do you need?

A home Level 2 charger is sold by its amperage (32A, 40A, 48A...), but your car only ever charges at the lower of two numbers: the charger's rated output and your car's own onboard AC charger limit. Installing a 48A/11.5 kW charger on a car with a 7.7 kW onboard charger does not speed anything up - the car simply will not draw more than it can accept. On any DC fast charger, the same idea applies to the whole session: charging is fastest at a low state of charge and tapers hard above roughly 80%, which is why route-charging stops are usually planned to 80%, not 100% (per the U.S. Department of Transportation's EV charging speeds guide). Match a home charger's amperage to your car's onboard AC rating from the table above, with a little headroom for future EVs in the household, rather than buying the biggest unit available.

Home charger size for the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan

The 2022 to 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS Sedan's 9.6 kW onboard charger draws about 40A at 240V (9.6 kW x 1,000 / 240V). The smallest common charger that covers it is a 40A unit, which runs on a 50A circuit: the National Electrical Code treats EV charging as a continuous load, so the breaker is sized at 125% of the charger's draw.

On 208V (common in apartments and some commercial buildings) the same amps deliver about 13% less power. A smaller charger still works - the car just charges slower. Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel has room and pull any permit (DOE AFDC).
