What Is MB.Charge Public?

MB.Charge Public is a connected charging service introduced by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia on 15 August 2026 that consolidates public EV charging access for Mercedes-Benz plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicle owners. It operates through a single charging contract, eliminating the need for multiple CPO accounts. The service is managed through the Mercedes-Benz App and MBUX navigation system, with all charging sessions automatically deducted and invoiced through one billing system.

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is collaborating with seven Charging Point Operator partners to deliver this service. The partners are CarputZap, Charge+, ChargeSini, ChargeV, DC Handal, Gentari, and JomCharge. Together, these operators provide access to more than 3,000 charging points across over 1,000 locations in Malaysia, positioning MB.Charge Public as one of the largest aggregated charging networks in the country.

"Bringing MB.Charge Public to Malaysia marks the next chapter in Mercedes-Benz Malaysia's electric mobility journey. The strength of this offering lies in the ecosystem behind it, bringing together our vehicles, the Mercedes-Benz App, and an expanding network of Charging Point Operator partners."

— Nadia Trimmel, Chief Operating Officer, Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia

MB.Charge Public aggregates seven Malaysian Charging Point Operators into a single network of more than 3,000 charging points across over 1,000 locations, with no service markup applied to customers.

How Does MB.Charge Public Work in Malaysia?

MB.Charge Public works by providing Mercedes-Benz customers with a single charging contract that grants access to charging stations operated by seven partner CPOs across Malaysia. Authentication at any participating charging station is performed via the MBUX multimedia system or the Mercedes-Benz App, and charging status can be monitored directly through the app. Before charging begins, the exact price per kilowatt-hour or minute is displayed, along with estimated costs to reach maximum charge level for fully electric vehicles.

The service includes charging station display and intelligent route planning through MBUX navigation. The system displays the location and real-time availability of charging points, whether in the vicinity or at the destination, and shows only those compatible with the specific vehicle. Customers can filter results by charging speed. Navigation with Electric Intelligence plans the fastest and most comfortable route, including charging stops, based on numerous factors.

All charging sessions are automatically deducted and invoiced through MB.Charge Public, with past transactions accessible via the Mercedes-Benz Customer Portal and Mercedes-Benz App. There is no markup on the service; customers are charged only the prevailing rate of the given charging station.

Which Charging Networks Are Included in MB.Charge Public?

MB.Charge Public includes charging networks from seven Malaysian Charging Point Operators: CarputZap, Charge+, ChargeSini, ChargeV, DC Handal, Gentari, and JomCharge. The service also enables access to charging networks across Malaysia and Singapore through a single charging service, including networks from Charge+, ComfortDelGro Energy (CDG ENERGY), SP Group, and Volt, with all charging sessions managed through one billing system.

This cross-border capability means Mercedes-Benz customers from Singapore can use MB.Charge Public to access the extensive public charging network in Malaysia, and Malaysian customers can access Singaporean networks through the same service. The single billing system manages all charging sessions regardless of which partner network is used.

MB.Charge Public provides access to charging networks from seven Malaysian CPO partners and four additional networks in Singapore, all managed through a single billing system.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

MB.Charge Public is designed for owners of plug-in hybrid and all-electric Mercedes-Benz vehicles in Malaysia who require access to public charging infrastructure outside their home or workplace. This includes urban drivers in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and other major cities who may not have dedicated home charging installations, as well as long-distance travellers who need reliable charging along intercity routes. The service is particularly relevant for condominium and apartment residents where home charging installation may be restricted.

For Malaysian users, the service addresses the practical challenge of managing multiple charging network accounts. Previously, an EV owner might need separate accounts with Gentari, Charge+, and JomCharge to access different charging locations. MB.Charge Public consolidates these into one contract with automatic billing through the Mercedes-Benz App. The no-markup pricing model means Malaysian customers pay the same prevailing rate as direct CPO customers, with no additional service fee.
