Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with PowerX, is advancing its high-power electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Japan, aiming to deploy 100 charging ports over the next two years.
As part of Mercedes-Benz’s broader commitment to expanding High Power Charging (HPC) facilities globally, the German automaker selected PowerX to co-lead the High Power Charging Japan initiative. This project will establish a network of high-power EV charging stations across Japan, enhancing charging accessibility and speed for EV users.
PowerX will manage 25 locations under this partnership, equipping them with 100 charging ports within the two-year timeframe. Notably, PowerX will supply its ultra fast "Hypercharger," a battery-powered charging system. Each Hypercharger setup currently includes up to two CHAdeMO charging points, each with a capacity of up to 120 kW, supported by a 179 or 358 kWh battery storage unit. The system will also eventually enable bidirectional charging. For this project, the system will feature specially customized charging stations, though further specifics remain undisclosed.
Upon completion, the network will offer "Mercedes me Charge" payment options for Mercedes-Benz BEV users, while drivers of other EV brands will have access through the PowerX app.
