JAKARTA - Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's leading luxury car manufacturers. In recent years the brand has applied its design language and technology knowledge to electric vehicles under the EQ line.
Supporting the transition to sustainability, Mercedes has also developed and started implementing a global charging ecosystem, which currently consists of 100,000 EV charging in the US alone. Even last November, the German automaker opened its first branded Charging Hub in North America near its US headquarters outside Atlanta.
Quoting from the Mercedes USA website, Wednesday, March 6, the company announced the latest Wallbox charger to use at home which is now widely available in the US and can be owned by users for free, but it depends on which car model to buy.

The manufacturer shared details of the wallet, which can connect to the internet and allow electric vehicle owners to access, monitor and control it remotely from anywhere using smartphones.
In addition to controlling charging sessions, users can estimate the cost of charging at home based on the energy consumed at certain levels of the local network. The automaker said that the new Level 2 charger could also receive an OTA software update, allowing for additional features in the future.
Based on Mercedes' information, Wallbox units operate on 240V separate circuits and can power up to 11.5 kW, about 8 times faster than charging using conventional 110V contact stops.
The new Wallbox charger is available at Mercedes-Benz dealers and requires professional installation. Customers who buy the 2023 EQE or EQS (all variants) model are entitled to a free Wallbox unit.
