PowerX has opened the first Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub, as a part of the new high-power EV charging network established under its comprehensive partnership with Mercedes-Benz High Power Charging Japan.
Located within Chiba Park, the site offers a public high-power charging service with a maximum output of 150 kW, available to all EV owners. The park features amenities such as a cafe and a sports gym, allowing drivers to enjoy their time comfortably while their vehicle charges.
The station is equipped with the PowerX Hypercharger, a battery-integrated ultrafast EV charging system offering two charging ports. Additionally, the hub debuts a custom-designed Mercedes-Benz dispenser unit that includes a large touchscreen interface for enhanced usability.
The Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub operates on a pay-per-use model, with fees based on electricity consumption. Mercedes-Benz EV owners can authenticate and pay seamlessly via “MB.CHARGE Public”, while owners of other EV brands can access the hub using “PowerX App”.
Following this launch, PowerX and Mercedes-Benz High Power Charging Japan will open the “Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub Kashiwa Shonan” and “Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub Komazawa.”
PowerX will oversee the entire process from site selection to ongoing hub operations, supporting the build-out of EV charging infrastructure across Japan and advancing Mercedes-Benz’s electrification strategy.
