Mercedes Benz India is taking a significant step towards promoting electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the country by expanding its EV charging network to customers of all brands. The car brand, which already has the largest number of EV charging outlets in India, is now partnering with other brands to provide comprehensive EV charging solutions.
As part of this initiative, Mercedes Benz is not only extending its charging network but also standardizing ultra-fast charging facilities. This means that all-electric vehicle owners in India, regardless of the brand, can now access high-quality charging stations offered by Mercedes Benz.
The brand will be offering charging solutions with capacities of up to 180 kWh, in addition to regular fast chargers with a capacity of up to 60 kWh. Mercedes Benz globally has a network of over 2,000 EV charging outlets.
In India, the company plans to launch this initiative with around 140 EV chargers spread across more than 25 cities. They currently have around 40 chargers in the country and this development is set to begin in the upcoming month.
To make charging more accessible for EV car owners, Mercedes Benz has introduced a user-friendly app. This app, developed by the company’s Research and Development division in Bengaluru, provides information about the brand’s EV charging stations and access to over 150 charging outlets by other brands. The app allows users to conveniently locate charging outlets across India, making the process of charging electric vehicles more efficient.
Mercedes Benz is also planning to promote awareness about EV charging solutions, particularly targeting chauffeurs of luxury electric cars. The brand aims to address concerns like range anxiety and provide knowledge about charging options, enhancing the overall EV ownership experience. They are actively training chauffeurs to better understand and manage these aspects.
Overall, Mercedes Benz India’s expansion of its EV charging network for all brands is revolutionizing electric mobility in the country and paving the way for greater adoption of electric vehicles.
