Mercedes me Charge Service, which is used by Mercedes BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) owners, is working on an expansion of their charging network. This will eventually expand their network up to 110,000 stations throughout the US and Canada.
This major expansion begins in February 2025.
The first expansion will provide the Tesla Supercharger Network to Mercedes BEV owners. This brings 20,000 additional charging stations to Mercedes customers in the US and Canada.
“As our technologically advanced and highly compelling all-electric vehicle portfolio continues to grow, we recognize that a critical component for a seamless ownership experience for our customers is to ensure convenient access to a broad charging network. Adopting the NACS standard in our electric vehicles and opening the Tesla Supercharger network to our battery electric vehicle customers represents an important step forward as we continue to build a strong foundation to bring additional, game-changing all-electric vehicles to the market. Together with our fantastic dealer partners, we remain committed to reimagining the future of mobility and setting the benchmark in the luxury segment.”
Dimitris Psillakis, CEO, Mercedes-Benz USA
What You’ll Need
Your existing Mercedes-Benz EV will need CCS1-compatible charging ports. Mercedes will release a Mercedes-Benz approved NACS to CCS1 DC fast charging adapter. This adapter will allow existing vehicles to charge at Tesla Superchargers and will be available for purchase at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the United States for $185 in the first quarter of 2025 in the US (and will be available from Canadian dealerships in Q2 2025). You will be notified when adapters are available to purchase.
Even More to Come in the Future
Starting in 2025, Mercedes-Benz will begin integrating NACS ports in its new electric vehicle lineup in North America. This will ensure that future Mercedes-Benz models can directly connect to any NACS DC fast charging point without the need for an adapter, making charging even more convenient for Mercedes-Benz customers.
The integration of NACS into Mercedes-Benz’s vehicle line-up, along with the addition of the Tesla Supercharger network to the rapidly expanding Mercedes me Charge portfolio, marks the brand’s latest offerings in a comprehensive approach to EV charging.
