Wedoany.com Report-Feb 14, The Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging network is expanding into Canada, with more than 2,500 fast chargers planned across Canada and the US.
The Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging network is set to debut in Canada in 2025 in Metro Vancouver, and more fast chargers will open in Toronto in 2026.
The smart charging stations are open to all EVS, and Mercedes-Benz drivers have exclusive benefit privileges, including automatic charger reservations enabled by the native Navigation with Electric Intelligence feature on electric Mercedes models and the “Plug & Charge” feature for Mercedes me Charge app users.
The 400 kW DC fast chargers will feature both CCS1 and NACS connectors, and certain EVs will be able to charge from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes.
“Our expansion into Canada will take steps to fill the gap in fast charging infrastructure and help customers confidently drive electric. At the end of the day, a better charging experience is a better EV ownership experience,” said Andrew Cornelia, CEO and president of Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging North America.
Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging opened its first North American charging site at Mercedes-Benz USA’s headquarters in Sandy Springs, Georgia, in November 2023 as part of an initial $1 billion charging network investment.
In February, Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging surpassed 300 charging stalls in operation and under construction in 11 US states.
