Perform a visual check of the charg-
R
ing station for obvious faults, such as
massive damage to the housing or
charging cable.
For charging stations without a preinstal-
#
led charging cable:
For safety reasons, only use charging
R
cables that have been tested and
approved by the manufacturer for
charging the high-voltage battery in
an electric vehicle.
Never use damaged charging cables.
R
Do not extend the charging cable.
R
Do not use adapters.

Make sure to observe the safety informa-
#
tion on the charging station.
Most charging stations must be activated before
the charging process, e.g. using an RFID card or
via Plug & Charge. Observe the on-site operator's
instructions for the charging station and the notes
on Mercedes me Charge ( page 509).
/
The amount of energy dispensed for the charging
process, shown by the charging station, may be
higher than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result
of different levels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur,
for example, due to heat that builds up when
charging or from auxiliary consumers that are
switched on. Further information on recharge effi-
ciency can be obtained at a qualified specialist
workshop.

fast charging station (mode 4)
& DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to dam-
aged components
Connecting the charging cable to a charging
station using a damaged component part
could cause a fire or an electric shock, for
example.
For charging stations with a preinstalled

The charging cable for the vehicle must not be
longer than 30 m due to the legal requirements in
some countries. This is to prevent the interfer-
