Does the “Charging Management” service work with my existing charging stations?    

Currently, we can support charging stations from (our partners) Siemens and Engie. We are adding more charging stations and providers to our list every day. We can support all charging stations with ISO15118 and OCPP 1.6 protocols.

Does the “Charging Management” service support the public charging network?    

We do not currently support the public charging network, but only the charging stations at depots. We will offer support for these if the public high-voltage charging network is further expanded.

Where can you find information about the state of charge and the remaining range?

The data on the battery state of charge and the remaining range come directly from the vehicle itself.

Does the charging station communicate directly with our backend or with a Siemens backend and then with us via an interface?

The charging station communicates directly with our backend via SIM card or via the customer’s internet connection

Does the load limit apply per vehicle or to the entire column?

For the entire charging station. This then distributes the power depending on the absorption capacity of the vehicles, which are, if necessary, plugged in at the same time via several connections

Who can help me with a problem with my charging station?

Our 1st level then forwards to the corresponding 2nd level of the manufacturer in the event of a hardware problem (with official partners only, i.e. Siemens and EV-BOX).

Are the charging stations initially only available in Germany?

No, in all eActros markets we work together with the charging station partner defined for the market (Siemens or Engie/EV-BOX).

Where can I find out my Mercedes-Benz Uptime Information?     

Your Mercedes-Benz Uptime Portal is integrated into the new Fleetboard Portal.

Are Fleetboard services mandatory for MB Uptime?    

No, they are not. Mercedes-Benz Uptime is part of a vehicle-based repair and maintenance contract and is not part of a Fleetboard master agreement.

Is there an automated reminder function for users/customers in the event that a Mercedes-Benz service partner is deleted or is no longer available?    

If a service partner is no longer available (e. because the service point has been closed), the workshop set as the default is assigned to the corresponding truck. The same applies to standard contact persons.

How many contact persons can a customer assign to each vehicle?    

A maximum of three contact persons can be assigned to each truck.Of course, this does not have to be the same for every vehicle. Therefore, the total number of contact persons may be higher.

How is the state of health (SoH) estimated?    

The status indicates what percentage of the nominal capacity of the high-voltage battery can still be used. This value is an indicator of the status of the high-voltage battery.

How is the number of equivalent complete (battery) cycles calculated?

The energy flow of the charging and discharging processes is added together to calculate the equivalent complete cycles. An equivalent complete cycle corresponds to twice the nominal energy of a high-voltage battery.

Is the replacement of a battery pack considered in terms of state of health and number of cycles?

The status value displayed in the customer portal always indicates the minimum level of all installed battery packs. The value does not, therefore, change if the replaced battery pack was not the one with the lowest level.
