With the new Mercedes-Benz Flexible Charging System, anxiety over driving range and charging station access is now a thing of the past.

Travel more, worry less.

Thanks to the compact carrying case, the charging system can still be stowed in the boot between your holiday luggage. If the battery then starts running low on the road, the three different adapters ensure that the next charge is no problem, even in remote areas. That’s because with the Schuko adapter, even a household electrical outlet at the nearest petrol station will do. It’s quicker to use the high-voltage adapter and outlet. If there’s a public charging station, the type 2 adapter supplies an additional boost. The Mercedes-Benz Flexible Charging System can provide up to 22 kW of charging power. The system is therefore ideal for drivers who are on the road a lot or don’t have a wallbox at home.

Overview:

• Everything you need for maximum charging flexibility: the Mercedes-Benz Flexible Charging System has a total of three adapters.
• Maximum charging flexibility via the household socket with the three plug types C, G and N.
• Though charging power can be selected manually on the controller, the system always adjusts automatically to the capacity of the connection.
• Plug and play. Insert the charging cable, the rest is done automatically.

Flexibility for everyone.

Drivers of older Mercedes-Benz hybrids or electric vehicles can also take advantage of the new charging flexibility. The Mercedes-Benz Flexible Charging System is compatible with all current and future models of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz AG.

The wallbox you can take with you.

With the optional wall bracket, the Mercedes-Benz Flexible Charging System can be mounted on any wall like a wallbox. If a power outlet is available, there are no further installation costs. Just plug it in and start charging. Integrated temperature sensors and surge protectors ensure that nothing can go wrong. Regardless of whether it’s a household outlet or a high-voltage current – the system automatically adapts to the capacity of the power source. Thanks to its waterproof and drive-over-proof exterior, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. So, whenever you hit the road again, simply take your charging system with you.

Mercedes-Benz Canada significantly expands Mercedes me Charge charging access
