Is there any way to adjust the charging amperage?
Is there any way to adjust the charging amperage? My previously owned Tesla and my currently owned Volvo allow for charging amperage adjustment. Does the EQS? I can't find anything in the software to accomplish this.

AFAIK, the charger mounted onboard the EQS is a 9.5/6 kW charger. So, if presented with a 40amp supply line from a wall box, that is the charge rate. If presented with a lesser amperage, it will adjust. Now, I can change the amperage supply from my ChargePoint Homeflex wall box through the iPhone app. When I diminish the supply line to 32amps (as I did after my recent garage fire) the EQS charges at 7.7kW. Now, I have a new supply line capable of supporting a full 40 amps, and have turned the ChargePoint back to 40 amps, and now I am charging at 9.5kW. So, the onboard charger will adjust to your supply line, but I am not aware of any way to influence it's charge level otherwise.

Just a bit odd that the first generation Mercedes PHEVs (before MB EVs appeared) had the option to adjust max charging current from the car. Perhaps confusing owners when the same adjustment can be found from two places. I still feel both both would be useful, for different needs. Not essential though.
