Mercedes me Charge Tariff System
Starting this June, Mercedes EV drivers will enjoy a new simplified tariff system, effective across “Mercedes me Charge network” all over Europe.
Currently Mercedes me charge system, offers access to around 300.000 charging point across the continent, drivers benefit from the service trough a special app that facilitates payment and trip planning as it shows all the available charging stations close by. A small downside to this system is the inconsistent charging prices from one station to the others, and that’s mainly due the varying operators included under the umbrella of “Mercedes me charge” system.
The new improvement includes the introduction of a 3 tier pricing systems, from which every driver can choose the plan that suits him the most; S plan for occasional charges, while the L plan is more suited for more frequent and long-distance charging occasional charges.
The second update is the price standardisation across the entirety of the charging points. And finally, the cherry on the pie is the cancellation of the basic monthly fee for all new buyers and for an entire year.
Here is a table to better understand the details of the new pricing system:
