Making the switch to a Mercedes-Benz EV is easy. So, it turns out, is charging it at home. Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis explains the types of chargers available, installation considerations, and where to find the ideal model.
Decide On Charging Level
There are three main charging options to pick from for PHEV and EV charging. Level 1 is the type of charging available in your home without any additional installations. The power output is relatively low, however, so it’s typically reserved for PHEVs. Level 2 is the type of charging station you’ll have installed in your home. Level 3, or DC Fast Charging, is only available at public charging stations. You’ll want to begin the charging process by deciding which power output is right for you.
Decide Where to Park
Charging your EV may take a little longer than filling up at the gas station. That’s why you want to find a location that’s out of the way before plugging in your vehicle. Set your charging area up so you don’t have to worry about blocking yourself or others in while charging.
Attach the Cable
Charging is simple and straightforward. Simply plug the charging cord into the port on your vehicle. Then follow the instructions on the charging system and in your manual to make sure the car is properly receiving power.
