The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is now available across the United States, offering a premium and efficient home charging solution for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids. Recognizing that most EV charging occurs at home, Mercedes-Benz has engineered this wallbox to provide customers with a fast, convenient, and intelligently connected charging experience. Designed to complement the aesthetics of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles, the Wallbox seamlessly blends form and function, ensuring your EV is always ready for the road ahead.
As Markus Rossmann, Senior Manager of Charging Solutions at Mercedes-Benz USA, states, “Mercedes-Benz is dedicated to offering our customers diverse, straightforward, and rapid charging solutions, whether at home or while traveling. The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly device that enhances charging flexibility and functionality through its seamless integration with the Mercedes me connect app.”
Intelligent and Connected Charging at Your Fingertips
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox goes beyond basic charging, offering smart features accessible via the Mercedes me connect app. Once connected to the internet, users gain remote control over their home charging experience. Imagine starting and stopping charging sessions, monitoring real-time charging status, and reviewing past charging history, all from your smartphone, regardless of your location.
Further enhancing convenience, the app allows users to estimate home charging expenses based on individual energy rates and the energy consumption of their vehicle. Looking towards the future, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox supports over-the-air (OTA) software updates, ensuring access to new features and functionalities as they become available. Security is also paramount; the Wallbox can be locked and unlocked via the Mercedes me connect app or an RFID card, preventing unauthorized use.
Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Elegant Design
Engineered in collaboration with EVBox, a leading global charging solutions provider, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox embodies innovation, striking design, and practicality. Its housing reflects the sophisticated design language of Mercedes-Benz EVs, making it a stylish addition to any home garage.
This powerful wallbox delivers up to 11.5 kW on a 240V split-phase circuit, providing charging speeds up to 8 times faster than a standard household outlet. Integrated multi-colored LED lights clearly display the charging status at a glance. For added safety, the Wallbox includes built-in safety components, offering protection against fault currents for your vehicle, home electrical system, and the Wallbox itself during active charging.
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox prioritizes usability with a generous 23-foot charging cable, accommodating various garage layouts and parking configurations. Its universal compatibility ensures seamless charging for all Mercedes-Benz electric and plug-in hybrid models, as well as other EVs utilizing the SAE J1772 charging standard.
Availability, Installation, and the Mercedes-Benz Charging Ecosystem
The Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is readily available for purchase through authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships across the United States. Professional installation by a certified electrician is required to ensure safety and optimal performance.

The Wallbox is a crucial element within the broader Mercedes-Benz charging ecosystem. Mercedes me Charge already provides access to a vast network of nearly 100,000 public charging points nationwide, establishing itself as one of the largest integrated charging networks in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz is committed to further expanding charging accessibility and convenience for its customers.
Looking ahead, Mercedes-Benz is making significant investments in charging infrastructure. The first Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub in North America opened in November 2023, marking the initial step in a joint venture with MN8 Energy to establish 2,500 high-power, branded chargers across at least 400 charging hubs in North America by the end of the decade. Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz EVs will adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) starting in 2025, gaining access to the extensive Tesla Supercharger network beginning in 2024. The IONNA joint venture, involving Mercedes-Benz and six other automakers, received regulatory approval in February 2024, paving the way for at least 30,000 additional high-powered chargers across North America.
For Mercedes-Benz customers in the U.S. who purchased a MY23 EQE or EQS (all variants) in the first quarter of 2024, a complimentary Wallbox may be available, adding even greater value to the ownership experience.
