By connecting to the internet, this wallbox unlocks a suite of intelligent features accessible through the intuitive Mercedes me connect app. Imagine controlling your charging sessions from anywhere – starting and stopping charging, monitoring real-time charging status, and delving into your charging history, all from your smartphone.
Beyond basic control, the Mercedes me connect app empowers you to understand and manage your home charging costs. By inputting your energy rates, the app can estimate charging expenses, providing valuable insights into your EV’s energy consumption.

Where Technology Meets Elegant Design
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, developed in collaboration with global charging experts EVBox, is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and the iconic Mercedes-Benz design philosophy. Its sleek housing mirrors the aesthetic of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles, making it a stylish addition to any home garage. But beauty is more than skin deep. This powerhouse delivers up to 11.5 kW of charging power on a 240V split-phase circuit, significantly reducing charging times compared to standard household outlets – up to 8 times faster in fact. Colored LED indicators clearly display the charging status at a glance, providing immediate feedback. Safety is integrated into every aspect, with built-in components offering robust protection against fault currents for your vehicle, home electrical system, and the wallbox itself.
To further enhance usability, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox comes equipped with a generous 23-foot charging cable. This length provides flexibility in various garage configurations and parking scenarios, ensuring convenient access to charging regardless of your setup. Versatility is key – the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is compatible with all Mercedes-Benz electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, as well as other EVs utilizing the SAE J1772 charging standard, making it a future-proof charging solution for your household.

Professional installation by a certified electrician is essential to ensure safety and optimal performance.

Expanding the Mercedes-Benz Charging Ecosystem
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is a vital component of a broader, comprehensive charging ecosystem designed to make EV ownership as convenient as possible. Mercedes me Charge already provides access to a vast network of nearly 100,000 public charging points nationwide, establishing itself as one of the largest integrated charging networks in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz is continuously investing in expanding charging infrastructure and improving accessibility for its customers.
This commitment is underscored by the opening of the first Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub in North America in November 2023. This marks the beginning of a significant investment of over $1 billion in a joint venture with MN8 Energy, aiming to establish 2,500 high-power chargers across at least 400 charging hubs throughout North America by the end of the decade. Looking ahead, Mercedes-Benz is embracing the future of charging standards by integrating the North American Charging Standard (NACS) into its EV lineup starting in 2025, with access to the extensive Tesla Supercharger network commencing in 2024. Further solidifying their commitment, the IONNA joint venture, involving Mercedes-Benz and six other major automakers, received regulatory approval in February 2024, paving the way for a minimum of 30,000 additional high-powered chargers across North America. The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, therefore, is not just a product, but an entry point into a complete and expanding world of Mercedes-Benz EV charging solutions.
