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, MB.CHARGE Public 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 using a Level 3, 2 or 1 charger. The higher the number, the faster the charge.
From 10–80% in 30 minutes or less
Level 3, also called DC Fast Charging, is the fastest charging method and utilizes CCS1 or NACS connector types. Your vehicle display will show the station’s connector type and let you know if an adapter is required.
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 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 comes with a flexible charging cable for Level 1 or 2 (240V) charging.
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 MB.CHARGE Public, giving you seamless access to all major public charging networks — that’s over 155,000 charging stations across the country. Plus, model year 2025 all-electric Mercedes-Benz vehicle owners who activate MB.CHARGE Public get 2 years of unlimited charging sessions at Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging stations, plus your choice of a $1,000 MB.CHARGE Public voucher or a free Mercedes-Benz WallboxDisclaimer[6].
