Mercedes-Benz opens world's first own fast-charging parks

Mercedes-Benz is opening its first own fast-charging parks in the fall. Starting in October, the first charging hubs are scheduled to go into operation in Atlanta (USA), Chengdu (China) and Mannheim. By the end of 2024, Mercedes-Benz aims to further expand its global fast-charging network to over 2000 charging points. As a long-term goal, the brand aims to establish more than 2000 Charging Hubs with over 10,000 charging points by the end of the decade.

Depending on the region, the charging stations are to offer charging capacities of currently up to 400 kW, provided via the respective common charging systems CCS1, CCS2, NACS and GB/T. The network will generally be open to all vehicle brands, but Mercedes customers will enjoy special benefits such as a reservation function via the Mercedes me Charge service. (aum)
