At our Mercedes-Benz dealership in Pleasanton, CA, we can’t wait to share the ease of electric charging when buying or leasing a Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class sedan or the Mercedes-Benz EQB SUV. Primarily, all electric vehicles require electric charging with either a Level 1, Level 2 charger or a Level 3 charger. Equipping your home with the electrical services and wall-mounted electric charging units you need is easy. You can then enjoy a good night’s sleep or stop in for lunch to zap up the battery quickly.
EV owners find that charging times may vary with electric car charging at home but the convenience is exceptional, especially with home charging DC fast charging units that are easy to install.

The Ease of Electric Charging On the Go
What makes the all-electric Mercedes-Benz lineup even more impressive is that you have the advanced technology you need to monitor your miles of range, charging speed and highway estimates. The MBUX infotainment system, that comes standard with the Mercedes-Benz EQB and Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class sedan, keeps you on top of when you should stop for a quick charge and even helps you locate nationwide public charging stations along your route.
This technology, including the Mercedes Me Charge suite, helps you to plan long road trips in your electric vehicle without worry of running out of miles of range. In fact, the advanced navigation system factors in where to stop at public charging stations and estimates the time you’ll need for a quick charge. Electric charging on the go continues to improve and Mercedes-Benz EV charging options are leading the way with complimentary DC fast charging sessions for a limited time via Electrify America.
