Mercedes-Benz says that by launching its own charging network, it wants to set a new standard for fast, convenient, and sustainable charging of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
The plan is to locate the Charging Hubs in main traffic areas and select Mercedes-Benz dealerships. It’s expected that nearby there will be amenities such as refreshments, snack, and restroom facilities. There will also be surveillance cameras to ensure safety. Some sites will get canopies to protect customers against the weather.<\/p>\n
Select locations will be additionally equipped with intelligent light poles, which will “offer not only appropriate lighting but also functional LED elements that provide information on the availability of the charging point and the charging status of the vehicle.”<\/em><\/p>\n Overall, Mercedes-Benz would like to provide a premium, pleasant, and safe customer experience.<\/p>\n The Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging Network will be open to all-electric vehicles and brands, although the Mercedes-Benz customers can count on special benefits. The company mentioned the ability to reserve a charging point via Mercedes-Benz’ me Charge service to reduce waiting times, as an example.<\/p>\n All new charging points will be integrated with the Mercedes-Benz’s Navigation with Electric Intelligence so it will be easy to find a station or route planning, taking into account the best charging locations. The sites will offer Plug & Charge to automate the charging and payment process as soon as the charging cable is plugged in.<\/p>\n
