Guys how many kwh are you getting from benz wallbox? Im only getting 8-8.5, is this right?. I was expecting 10-12kw
My wall box set for 48A
The EQS draws 9.7kwh
The Tesla draws 11.5kwh

Thank you, learning as i go. I was assuming that with 48amp, plus a 60 breaker. I was gonna be around 11-12 kw. Didnt know every car is different.
If i did change charger to a wallbox pulsar 48 hardwire. Will that make a difference?
Unlikely, I’m assuming that your limiting factor seems to be the car, not the charger…
If your current setup is 48A charger, is will allow your car to draw up to 11.5kwh.
If your car draws less, then there is not much you can do about it
Understand, im just making sure theres no issue. Due to the fact what they advertised saying if you have level 2 charger. You should be drawing X Y Z. Which thats not the case, its what the car takes.
im getting 8 or so. Def a misrepresentation of item from MB on this

The wallbox is not actually a charger, it’s a connector. The job of the connector is to power the onboard charger, which is always installed in the vehicle. Your connector is able to supply up to 48amps of power, but that will be limited by the capability of the charger. This is how Mercedes describes the EQS charging specification on the website. Note that 9.6 kW is 40amp at 240v.

This is interesting, didnt know about this. Its good to know. Like i said its our first EV and didnt know how this all plays out. I just wanted to make sure its all dialed in. At first i was like wtf, we installed a 200amp panel dedicated for the future build garage lights and EV chargers, and im only getting this much juice lol.
@djrabbi i guess were on the same page, eventually im gonna change the charger, due to when i charge my taycan i have no control when i want it to start charging. Plus coned wont give me incentive for it. Its not approved only approved ones are
Chargepoint
Wallbox pulsar

Checking on my AMG EQE that has been in the shop over a week. “A bigger job than anticipated”. Full water heater replacement.
I’ve had the car for 2 weeks, do I have any recourse or am I just stuck without a vehicle.

Some EVs have dual onboard chargers. Older Model S and Model X, Lucid, Ford Lightning ER and I believe Hummer. This allows them to take an 80amp connector and turn it into two 40amp connections. I think this is the maximum line rate you will ever see a connector require so 200 amps… well that’s just overkill.
The only connector I would consider on your list is Wallbox Pulsar, which is actually very nice. But given you have 200amp service, I would be looking at an 80amp connector like the Ford Charge Station Pro or Lucid Home Station, otherwise what’s the point of having all that power available.

Wish it was a EQE SUV
Do all new EQS come with Wallbox?
No. The program eligibility was limited and has expired.
Customers who have purchased a MY23 EQE or EQS (all variants) in the first quarter of 2024 are eligible to receive a complimentary Wallbox
Is it realistic to haggle for 23% off a 580EQS sedan that’s been on a dealer lot for 6 months prior to incentives?
