We’re excited to announce a major step forward for Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle owners: Gridio now offers smart charging enabled by integratingMercedes-Benz vehicle data from Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH. This allows seamless, intelligent smart charging for all compatible Mercedes-BenzEVs.

If you drive a Mercedes-Benz EQE, EQB,EQA or EQS, you can now connect your car directly to Gridio and automatically benefit from smart and solar charging. That means no more guesswork, no need for extra hardware — just reliable, automated charging powered by Mercedes-Benz vehicle data.

Smarter Charging Starts with Smarter Data

Until now, our Mercedes-Benz drivers have had to rely on unofficial API integrations (unreliable and not secure) or optimizing via wall boxes (not very efficient given lack of battery information).

Gridio can now securely access key vehicle data via the API of Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH to take our smart charging experience to the next level. This includes real-time battery state-of-charge, plug-in status, charging control, and more — all with your permission and in full compliance with GDPR and Mercedes-Benz’ API standards.

This makes the smart charging experience for our Mercedes-Benz drivers a smooth and convenient experience. When Gridio knows exactly when and how your Mercedes-Benz is plugged in, it can make real-time decisions about when to charge — automatically selecting the lowest-cost and cleanest hours, without needing to involve the charger or ask you to manually configure anything.

Why This Integration Matters for Mercedes-Benz EV Owners

This new capability means that Mercedes-Benz EVs are now natively compatible with Gridio’s smart charging platform. Whether you’re charging at home overnight or during the day while solar power is peaking, Gridio can adapt in real time to get you the best possible charging schedule.

• Up to 50% lower energy costs by charging during cheaper hours
• Smaller carbon footprint by prioritizing greener energy
• No smart charger required — your Mercedes-Benz is smart enough

Most importantly, your Gridio experience just got easier. Instead of configuring hardware or schedules, simply log in with your Mercedes-Benz credentials and let Gridio handle the rest.

Getting Started: Connect Your Mercedes-Benz to Gridio

Setting up Gridio takes just a couple of minutes:

1. Download the Gridio app

👉 App Store | Google Play

2. Connect your Mercedes-Benz

• Log in using using your Mercedes-Benz account

• Grant access to battery and charging data via Mercedes-Benz interfaces.

3. Plug in your vehicle

• Gridio will automatically optimize charging based on electricity prices and carbon intensity
• You stay in control and can override the schedule at any time

It just works.

Gridio Users Already Save up to 50% on Charging Costs

Across Europe, Gridio customers are saving up to 50% on charging costs simply by letting the app avoid expensive peak electricity hours. Now that Mercedes-Benz EVs can integrate directly, the setup is even more reliable and the optimization more accurate.

This makes your EV smarter, your bills lower, and your footprint lighter — all at once.

And because the data connection is made directly through the official Mercedes-Benz interface, you can trust that it’s secure, private, and future-proof.

Where Gridio Works

Gridio can be used in anywhere in the EU, all you need is either a dynamic energy tariff, or a cloud-connected solar inverter to connect to our app for solar charging.

Ready to Try Smart Charging for Your Mercedes-Benz?

Gridio is free to try and takes less than 5 minutes to get started. If you’re a Mercedes-Benz EQ driver, there’s no better way to take control of your charging experience — and no smarter way to cut costs and carbon.
