It seems that the big automakers are realizing what an important business they have in store for the electric age.
Tesla was the first to notice and now has the largest network of ultra-fast charging stations in the world.
In addition, for a few months, it has allowed every electric car to use the supercharger, which means that not only Tesla cars can charge there but every electric vehicle.
Obviously, the business potential this entails for Tesla is virtually incalculable, with some analysts suggesting it has great potential Worth $100,000 million.
A few hours ago, we learned that Hyundai will also be launching its own network of charging stations, and now we know that Mercedes-Benz will also be doing the same thing, offering its own charging stations all over the world, so it can be an alternative to that Charging network from Tesla.
This will be the Mercedes-Benz charging network
The German manufacturer has revealed some details about its project, a project that is very far advanced and that even this autumn will put the first stations into operation in Atlanta, Chengdu (China), and Mannheim (Germany). in the same month of October.
As for the overall numbers, he expects that By the end of 2024, it will already have a charging network with a total of 2,000 charging points—a number that will rise to 10,000 points by the end of this decade.
The characteristics of the charging stations from Mercedes-Benz include charging capacities of up to 400 kW, one of the highest currently available, and the corresponding technology, plug & charge, for Mercedes-Benz customers, where charging is as easy as connecting and disconnecting the vehicle from the hose.
The locations chosen for the opening of new Mercedes-Benz charging stations are carefully chosen, not only because they are high-traffic locations but also because they offer users services such as the opportunity to have something to eat or drink or go to the toilet, etc.
