Smartcar is excited to announce their partnership with Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH. This collaboration expands our offering across Europe, making it easier than ever for developers, energy innovators, and mobility providers to connect with Mercedes-Benz vehicles and accelerate the shift to electric mobility and smarter energy ecosystems.
Unlocking the benefits of EV mobility
The electric mobility transition is creating enormous opportunities for innovation. But fragmented access to vehicle data has made it harder for developers and energy providers to deliver the seamless experiences drivers expect.
Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services expands the Smartcar platform and unlocks new value for developers by removing these barriers. Developers can now access Mercedes-Benz vehicles across Europe through one platform integration, empowering them to provide new services that make EV ownership smarter, easier, and more sustainable.
Charging management and energy innovation
A key focus of this collaboration is charging management. With Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services’ integration, developers can go beyond simply monitoring charge levels. They can issue remote commands such as starting or stopping a charge session or setting charging schedules enabling smarter, more flexible solutions.
This expansion strengthens some of the most impactful use cases, including:
- Smart charging: Aligning charging with renewable energy supply or off-peak tariffs.
- Home energy management: Connecting EVs with solar panels, home batteries, and smart meters for efficient energy use.
- Grid balancing and V2G: Using EVs as flexible energy assets to stabilize demand and support the wider grid.
- Mobility services: Supporting ride-hailing and car-sharing with real-time charge status.
Privacy and trust at the center
Smartcar is committed to protecting drivers’ privacy. All integrations follow GDPR-compliant consent flows, ensuring that drivers remain in full control of what data is shared, with whom, and for what purpose.
Powering the next generation of EV experiences
At Smartcar, our mission is to unlock the freedom of movement for everyone. With Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services now part of the Smartcar platform, we’re expanding the tools available to developers enabling them to deliver trusted EV mobility and energy services at scale, and helping accelerate the transition to a smarter, more sustainable future.
We strive to be the partner of choice for developers, offering the best coverage, reliability, and value across vehicle integrations so that together we can unlock the full potential of connected mobility.
