Since June 2022, there will be a attractive tariff system for more than 500,000 charging points in the Mercedes me Charge network^[a]In order to use the Mercedes me connect service “Mercedes me Charge”, a personal Mercedes me ID and agreement to the Mercedes me connect Terms of Use are required.

to more than 900 charging point operators in Europe. Since the introduction of the tariff system, customers will also have access to attractive fixed prices that apply regardless of the operator. Mercedes-Benz is thus creating maximum cost transparency and ensuring that its customers do not experience cost surprises or uncertainty at public charging stations.

Mercedes me Charge enables its customers to charge green^[2]Green Charging uses Energy Attribute Certificates to ensure that an equivalent amount of electricity from renewable energy sources is fed into the power grid for charging processes in Mercedes me Charge, if no electricity from renewable energy sources is provided. For this purpose, high-quality green electricity certificates are used, which verifiably certify the origin of the energy and serve as a kind of birth certificate for electricity from renewable energies.
at public charging stations in Europe, the USA and Canada. In addition, incentives will be created to invest in renewable energy generation plants. Mercedes me Charge also includes the IONITY fast charging stations, which are powered by green electricity. As far as possible, this is to be ensured by contracts for the supply of green electricity or by green electricity certificates from accredited providers. As part of the IONITY joint venture, Mercedes-Benz AG has been involved in the development of a high-performance fast-charging network for electric vehicles in Europe since 2017.

The new Mercedes-Benz wallbox charges electric cars and plug-in hybrids quickly, intelligently and conveniently. It is designed for up to 22 kW^[d]22 kW charging may require the corresponding special equipment "alternating current charging system (AC charging 22 kW)", depending on the manufacturer and vehicle. If this is not the case, the vehicle is automatically charged by the wallbox with the optimal charging power. The maximum charging power of the charging station must be adapted to the upstream installation (cable cross-section and fuse protection).

, track the current charging status and view the charging history. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz wallbox now has an integrated energy meter^[f]Not compliant with the MID or calibration law (Eichrecht).
. In addition, it will be technically possible to receive software updates "over-the-air" via the customer's own Internet connection or an integrated LTE SIM card. This makes the wall-mounted charging station particularly future-proof. High-quality materials ensure the durability and weather resistance of the wallbox. A multi-coloured LED light on the wallbox indicates the current status of the charging process.

In order to meet national subsidy requirements, if necessary, the maximum charging power can be reduced to 11 kW when installed by a qualified electrician. In Germany, the Mercedes-Benz wallbox is supplied with a permanently connected six-metre-long charging cable with a type 2 plug. The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox charges all current and future Mercedes-Benz electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles with the universal Type 2 connection in accordance with the IEC 61851-1 standard. Of course, electric vehicles from other manufacturers can also be charged.

The wallbox is available in many European and other countries worldwide at Mercedes-Benz dealerships and in the Mercedes-Benz Shop. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz wallbox is offered by selected installation partners and installed at the customer's home. Thanks to their cooperation with Mercedes-Benz, they are able to provide extensive support in consulting and installation. The recommended retail price in Germany is 990 Euro (incl. 19 % VAT) for the Mercedes-Benz wallbox, plus the costs for professional installation. The wallbox is available in the following countries: Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Norway, Ireland, Finland, Portugal, Latvia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.
