Starting February 2025, Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the U.S. will gain access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network, with Canadian drivers joining later in the year. This strategic move integrates the Tesla Supercharger network into Mercedes me Charge, enhancing charging options for Mercedes-Benz drivers. Additionally, NACS ports will debut in new Mercedes-Benz EVs in 2025, marking a significant step forward in the brand’s charging ecosystem.
Key Highlights
- Tesla Supercharger Access: Over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers in the U.S. and Canada will be available for Mercedes-Benz EVs through the Mercedes me Charge service.
- “Plug & Charge” Functionality: Charging sessions will start automatically upon plugin, with seamless payment processing integrated.
- Adapter Availability: A Mercedes-Benz-approved NACS to CCS1 adapter will allow existing EVs to use Tesla Superchargers, available for $185 at U.S. dealerships in Q1 2025.
- Future NACS Ports: Starting in 2025, new Mercedes-Benz EVs will feature integrated NACS ports for direct connectivity.
Seamless Charging Integration
Mercedes me Charge users will benefit from a comprehensive charging experience. By integrating Tesla Superchargers into the network, Mercedes-Benz drivers gain access to over 110,000 public charging points across North America. This includes partnerships with networks like Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint.
“By opening access to Tesla Superchargers…we underline our commitment to providing our customers with as many charging options as possible,” stated Franz Reiner, Chairman of Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG.
Enhanced User Experience
Mercedes-Benz’s “Navigation with Electric Intelligence” will incorporate Tesla Superchargers to guide drivers to efficient routes with transparent charging stops and real-time charger status. A complimentary software update will enable compatibility for vehicles within scope, ensuring a seamless transition for current Mercedes-Benz EV owners.
Future-Proofing with NACS Integration
To further streamline the charging process, Mercedes-Benz will integrate NACS ports into its EV lineup starting in 2025, eliminating the need for adapters and simplifying the charging process.
This integration complements Mercedes-Benz’s broader charging initiatives, such as the launch of Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging in North America and the IONNA joint venture, which aims to add 30,000 high-power charging points across the continent.
A Commitment to Innovation
Mercedes-Benz’s inclusion of the Tesla Supercharger network underscores its dedication to building a robust EV infrastructure. With strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology, the brand continues to shape the future of luxury electric mobility.
