Mercedes-Benz is taking a significant step in expanding its global electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure by launching its first high-power charging stations this fall. Known as Mercedes-Benz Charging Hubs, these facilities are set to provide fast, convenient, and sustainable charging solutions for EV owners across the world. The initial phase of this ambitious project will establish Charging Hubs in three key locations: Atlanta (USA), Chengdu (China), and Mannheim (Germany), beginning in October.
The key objective of Mercedes-Benz is to establish over 2,000 high-power charging stations by the end of 2024. The long-term vision is even more impressive, with plans to create over 2,000 Charing Hubs featuring a total of 10,000 charging points by the end of the decade.

Mercedes-Benz emphasizes the importance of a positive customer experience, with Charging Hubs conveniently located at main traffic areas and select Mercedes-Benz dealerships. These stations will also offer amenities like refreshments, snacks, restrooms, and security cameras to ensure customer safety. Intelligent light poles provide not only illumination but also information on charging point availability and the vehicle’s charging status. Select hubs will also feature canopies to provide shelter against inclement weather.
The network is open to drivers of all EV brands. However, Mercedes-Benz customers enjoy special benefits, such as the ability to reserve a charging point and reduced waiting times through the Mercedes-Benz me Charge service. Additionally, the Mercedes-Benz charging network will be seamlessly integrated into route planning through Navigation with Electric Intelligence, providing users with the most efficient charging options.
The Mercedes-Benz Charging Hubs promise a swift and seamless charging experience, offering rates of up to 400kW depending on the region and compatible charging systems. Intelligent charging management ensures that each vehicle can charge at its maximum power rating, minimizing charging times.
Mercedes-Benz is committed to sustainable charging. They aim to power their charging network with 100% renewable electricity whenever possible, using green electricity supply contracts or renewable energy certificates. Some Charging Hubs will even feature solar panels to generate electricity for their operation, ensuring peace of mind for eco-conscious drivers.
The establishment of a high-power Mercedes-Benz charging network is a significant step towards promoting electric mobility. This commitment to sustainability, convenience, and an inclusive approach to all EV drivers demonstrates the brand’s dedication to a more sustainable and accessible future for electric transportation.
