Charging Your Mercedes-Benz EV
Let's get you set up for the road ahead.
At home or on the road, charging your all-electric
Mercedes-Benz is designed to be simple.
An intuitive charging experience wherever you are.
At public charging stations, Mercedes me Charge seamlessly incorporates the nation’s largest charging networks into the Mercedes-Benz app — so you don't need multiple apps.
At home, drivers can take advantage of reduced electricity rates — just plug in at night for a full charge in the morning and ultimate convenience.
Discover the charging options.
While your all-electric Mercedes-Benz can travel long distances without a charging stop, eventually, you’ll need to recharge. Electric vehicle batteries are charged through a Level 3, 2 or 1 charger. The higher the number, the faster the charge.
From 10–80% in 30 minutes
Level 3, also called DC Fast Charging, is the fastest charging method at up to 400 kW. This charger type is mainly found in public places like parking facilities, rest stops, and shopping centers.
Up to 30 miles per 1 hour
Level 2 charges nine times faster than Level 1 and is widely available at public stations nationwide. At home, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, available through your dealer, is the perfect solution for convenient overnight charging, so you’re ready to roll the next morning.
2–4 miles per 1 hour
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet. Given its limited output — only up to 1.9 kW — we recommend this method only when faster options are not available. Your EV’s Mobile Flex Charging Cable includes a plug that is compatible with household outlets.
What’s a kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt-hour (kWh)?
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power that measures the charging speed of an EV. Your vehicle’s battery has a maximum charging speed it can accept, and the EV charger has a maximum charging output it can provide — both are expressed in kilowatts.
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy that measures your battery's capacity, similar to gallons in a gas tank. You may recognize kilowatt-hours from your electricity bill, where your utility tracks your electricity usage. When you recharge your vehicle, the amount charged is measured in kilowatt-hours.
The Mercedes-Benz app: One app to access them all.
The Mercedes-Benz app features Mercedes me Charge, giving you seamless access to all major public charging networks — that’s over 85,000 charging stations across the country. Plus, model year 2024 all-electric Mercedes-Benz vehicle owners who activate Mercedes me Charge get 2 years of unlimited charging sessions at Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub stations and 2 years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America stations.
