Mercedes-Benz will support the EV with its MB.CHARGE Public network that provides access to more than 9,000 charging points across India, while customers can also opt for a 22 kW Mercedes-Benz home wallbox charger.
Software and User Experience
Mercedes-Benz continues to push its MBUX digital ecosystem in the CLA BEV.
