Mercedes-Benz will launch high-power charging network across North America, Europe and China

Mercedes-Benz is about to launch global high-power charging network across North America, Europe and China, first of all. Then, some more key markets might follow. According to the German group, the aim is to have the full network in place before the end of the decade, when Mercedes-Benz intends to go all-electric wherever market conditions allow. The Mercedes-Benz high-power charging network will greatly enhance customers’ charging experience, accelerate the journey towards the all-electric future and create a global infrastructure asset with future value-creation potential.

The charging network will focus first and foremost on Mercedes-Benz customers, who will enjoy preferential access via a reservation function and other benefits. However, it will also be open to drivers of all other brands with compatible technology. The announcement was made at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, last week.

Let's get familiar with the name Milence, as it is the official brand of the charging network created by Volvo, Traton and Daimler in 2021. As we know quite well, the target of the strategic alliance is to build 1,700 charging stations for heavy-duty electric vehicles in Europe in the next few years…

“Mercedes-Benz already offers what we believe to be the finest EVs in the market. But to accelerate the electric transformation, we need to ensure that the charging experience keeps pace as well. Our customers deserve a compelling charging experience that makes electric vehicle ownership and long-distance travel effortless. We won’t take a wait-and-see approach for this to be built. That’s why we are launching a global high-end charging network. It’s designed to become another differentiator of Mercedes-Benz ownership for our customers and an asset with value creation potential for our company. We are excited to start right here in North America with strong and experienced partners like MN8 Energy and ChargePoint”, said Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

The locations and surroundings of the Mercedes-Benz charging hubs will be carefully selected with wider customer needs in mind. The best possible charging experience will therefore come with food outlets and restrooms situated nearby. Facilities will also be equipped with surveillance cameras and other measures to provide a safe and secure charging environment.
