Mercedes-Benz said in Stuttgart today that it will open its first high-power charging stations this fall. Starting in October, the first Mercedes-Benz Charging Hubs will go into operation in Atlanta (USA), Chengdu (China) and Mannheim (Germany). By the end of 2024, Mercedes-Benz now says it will further expand its global charging network to more than 2000 high-power charging places. The long-term goal is to create more than 2000 Charging Hubs with more than 10,000 charging points by the end of the decade.
“We firmly believe that electric mobility is the key to a sustainable, zero-emission future. Our goal is to create an infrastructure that offers electric vehicles reliable and easy charging options. In this way, we are actively supporting the transformation to electric mobility With the Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging Network, we are expanding global charging options and setting new standards in electric vehicle charging. We want to encourage our customers to switch to zero-emission vehicles and thus make a positive contribution to protecting our environment,” claimed Franz Reiner, CEO Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG.

Depending on region and location, “the charging stations offer charging rate of currently up to 400 kW, provided via the respective standard charging systems CCS1, CCS2, NACS and GB/T. Thanks to intelligent charging management, each vehicle can be charged at its maximum power rating. This reduces the charging time for customers to an absolute minimum,” Mercedes said.
