Mercedes-Benz Launches a Slew of High-Power Charging Networks
Mercedes-Benz is launching a new High-Power Charging Network and will begin to open in the fourth quarter of the year. Working together with ChargePoint, there will be stations launching in Atlanta, Georgia, which is the US home base of the company, Mannheim, Germany, and Chengdu, China.
By the end of 2024, the company plans to create 400 hub locations with a total of 2,000 chargers in the US, and 2,000 globally. The company now notes that "depending on region, the charging stations offer a charging rate of currently up to 400kW, provided via the respective standard charging systems CCS1 (North America), CCS2 [Europe], NACS [Tesla] and GB/T [China]." It is ensured that the vehicles can be charged at their highest power rating through intelligent charging management in order to reduce wait times.
