One of the best things about owning a Mercedes-Benz EV model is the ease of charging, both at home and on the go. Thanks to the simple home charging options, you can start every day with the range that you need to get to work, do errands, and more. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills, our team is happy to explain how to charge your Mercedes-Benz EV model at home.
Level 1 Charging: Included with Every Model
Every Mercedes-Benz EV model comes standard with a charging cable that allows for Level 1 charging. This means that you can plug your vehicle directly into a standard, three-prong 120-volt household outlet in your garage. Level 1 charging requires no special installation, but it is the slowest of the charging methods, making it best suited for overnight top-ups or situations when faster charging isn’t necessary.
Level 2 Charging: Faster Home Solution
For the fastest and most efficient home charging, consider a Level 2 charger. These units operate on a 240-volt circuit similar to a large appliance, and they can fully charge your Mercedes-Benz EV overnight. This ensures that you can always take advantage of your vehicle’s maximum electric range for your daily journeys.
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox™ and Mercedes me Connect™ App
Mercedes-Benz offers its own version of a Level 2 Charger, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox™. This smart charger connects to the internet, allowing it to receive over-the-air software updates to add new features as they are released. It also features a sleek, brand-exclusive design that is fitting with the Mercedes-Benz aesthetic.
When you pair Wallbox™ with the Mercedes me Connect™ smartphone app, you can remotely start and stop charging sessions, track charging status, and review charging history. You can even schedule charging for off-peak electricity hours.
