Mercedes-Benz has steadily expanded its electric vehicle lineup, welcoming more luxury models alongside their existing electrified cars and SUVs. To support EV owners, Mercedes-Benz has committed a substantial $1 billion investment in a charging station infrastructure project. The initiative, comprising 400 charging stations, commenced with the unveiling of the first station in Atlanta.
These charging stations, inspired by initial renderings, boast a covered area to shield vehicles and owners from the elements. Illuminated by solar power, the canopy shelters eight stalls, each equipped with two plugs. Handicap-accessible stalls and those catering to tall commercial vehicles are also available. Street-facing signs indicate stall availability. The sleek lounge area offers plush seating and vending machines. Provided by ChargePoint, the stalls offer rapid 400kW charging, catering not only to Mercedes-Benz EVs but all EV models.
Acknowledging issues at existing public stations, such as faulty or broken stalls causing inconvenience and discouraging potential EV buyers, Mercedes-Benz aims to address these challenges with its massive infrastructure investment. MN8 Energy, supported by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, covers approximately half of the project's cost.
