Mercedes hits major milestone with me Charge network
Around 600,000 of the charging points are located in Europe, more than 800,000 in Asia and around 100,000 in North America. The charging stations in the Mercedes me Charge network are located at strategically important points, such as in cities, at shopping centres, hotels and along freeways.
In Germany, for example, more than 90 per cent of all charging points in the country are integrated into the Mercedes me Charge network with over 100,000 charging points. Of the total of 1.5 million charging points, 170,000 are fast charging points with at least 150 kW output.
Plans are already in place for Mercedes me Charge to be further expanded: The 10,000 charging points of the planned global Mercedes-Benz Charging Network are to be set up by the end of the decade. In addition, the European joint venture Ionity and the cooperations currently being set up to establish a charging infrastructure in North America and China will also be fully integrated into Mercedes me Charge.
“Mercedes me Charge is one of the fastest-growing charging networks. In 2023, an average of 40,000 charging points were integrated every month,” said Franz Reiner, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG, adding: “By doing so, we provide our customers a comprehensive network featuring transparent prices and easy access. Mercedes me Charge fulfils essential customer needs for public charging.”
