{"product_id":"mercedes-citan-charging-cable","title":"Mercedes Citan Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mercedes eCitan needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A, and the version you buy depends on the electricity supply at your depot rather than on the van. Take the \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777806519\"\u003e32A single phase in 5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777904823\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e for a standard site. The eCitan, sold from 2023 as a panel van and crew van in L1 and L2, carries a 45 kWh battery and a 22 kW onboard charger as standard. That is the highest AC rating of any Mercedes van we supply cables for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether that 22 kW does anything for you is the real question. Britain wires houses and most small commercial units on a single phase supply, and a single phase supply tops out at 7.4 kW no matter what the van will accept. Plug the 22 kW three phase cable into a single phase post and you get 7.4 kW, exactly the same as the cheaper cable. The rating only comes alive on a three phase post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your yard does have three phase, this is one of the few vans where the upgrade genuinely earns its keep. A 45 kWh pack fills in about two hours fifteen minutes at 22 kW against six hours forty five at 7.4 kW. On a site turning vans round between shifts rather than overnight, that difference decides whether a van goes back out. Check with whoever maintains your distribution board before ordering, because three phase is common on industrial estates and rare on a domestic driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor overnight depot charging, the plain 32A single phase cable is enough. Six hours forty five minutes fits inside any normal shutdown with hours to spare, even if a driver brings the van back nearly flat. A 16A cable does not: it stretches the same fill to thirteen hours forty five, which starts eating into the morning. That is the one specification mistake worth avoiding on a working vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn length, think about how the van actually parks rather than how the bay is drawn. 10m covers reversing in, a post shared between two bays, and the days the yard is full. Our Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, the 3 pin units IP67, and everything ships with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMercedes eCitan Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eeCitan panel van and crew van, L1 and L2, 2023 onwards, 45 kWh\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin, \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777970359\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363778003127\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoadside rescue only, not a plan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2 16A, \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777773751\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777872055\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 hours 45 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToo slow for a working van\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2 32A, \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777806519\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777904823\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest buy for a single phase depot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2 32A three phase, \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777839287\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-benz-citan-charging-cable?variant=43363777937591\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW on a three phase supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours 15 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuy this if your yard has three phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMercedes Citan Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable does the Mercedes eCitan need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A. Choose the single phase version for a normal 7.4 kW post, which fills the 45 kWh battery in about six hours forty five minutes. Choose the three phase version only if your depot has a three phase supply, where the van's 22 kW charger cuts that to roughly two hours fifteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 22 kW charger any use on a UK supply?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly on three phase. The eCitan takes 22 kW as standard, but a single phase supply, which is what almost every house and many small units have, caps delivery at 7.4 kW. The van, the supply and the cable each set a limit and you get the lowest of the three. Ask your electrician before paying extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does an eCitan take to charge overnight?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout six hours forty five minutes from empty on a 32A single phase cable at 7.4 kW. That leaves margin inside a twelve hour depot shutdown even when a driver returns nearly flat. On a 16A cable the same fill takes thirteen hours forty five, which will not reliably finish before the first run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length works best across a depot yard?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10m for most yards. Charge posts rarely sit where the vans end up parking, and a 5m cable forces drivers to reverse into one exact spot every night. 10m tolerates a full yard, a shared post between two bays, and the van being left at an angle by whoever came back last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it worth keeping a second cable in the van?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a vehicle that leaves the yard all day, yes. A 3 pin cable stored behind the seats lets a driver pull 2.3 kW from a socket at a customer site or an overnight stop. It will not fill 45 kWh, but it buys enough range to get the van home rather than recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the diesel Citan need a charging cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the eCitan has a charging inlet. A diesel Citan of any year and any trim has no port, no onboard charger and nothing to plug in. If you are ordering for a mixed fleet, check the badge and look for the inlet flap before adding a cable to the purchase order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207713120603,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-MERC-CITAN","price":150.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207713153371,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-MERC-CITAN","price":166.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":53207713186139,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-MERC-CITAN","price":196.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207713218907,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-MERC-CITAN","price":189.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207713251675,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-MERC-CITAN","price":215.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":53207713284443,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-MERC-CITAN","price":244.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 10amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207713317211,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-MERC-CITAN-V5","price":226.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207713349979,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-MERC-CITAN-V2","price":280.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/3888\/1627\/files\/486b41d4dbdac7577c4fa4ef3ac7868f.jpg?v=1780280748","url":"https:\/\/trandnova.com\/bg-eu\/products\/mercedes-citan-charging-cable","provider":"Trand Nova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
