White & Case advises Mercedes-Benz on cooperation with E.ON for a European charging network

Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Mercedes-Benz on the cooperation agreement for its strategic partnership with energy company E.ON for the establishment and operation of the new Europe-wide Mercedes-Benz charging network, which enables fast, safe and environmentally friendly charging of electric vehicles.
