Mercedes me Charge: Charging service surpasses 2 million mark and continues to grow
Mercedes-Benz is continuously expanding its charging service and reached several milestones in October: The charging network now encompasses over two million charging points worldwide from more than 1,600 different charging station operators. With the expansion to Australia and New Zealand, customers in 32 countries on four continents benefit from the charging service. In Europe, Mercedes me Charge contract holders can charge across borders at over 750,000 charging points. Of the two million charging points, about 250,000 are high-power fast-charging points with at least 150 kW. In 2024, an average of 55,000 new charging points were integrated each month – more than ever before, the manufacturer reports. The share of HPC columns grew particularly strongly by 55 percent since the beginning of 2024, while AC/DC charging columns with less than 150 kW increased by 31 percent.

In Germany, the service unites more than 800 operators with approximately 150,000 charging points, which corresponds to around 98 percent of the public charging points in the country. The charging network offers access to around 20,000 high-power fast charging stations, distributed across 6,000 locations nationwide. According to a study by the market research institute UScale, network coverage is the most important factor for German electric car drivers when choosing their charging service.
