Mercedes-Benz drivers in the U.S. can now access over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers. This grows the Mercedes me Charge network to over 140,000 charging points across the U.S. Mercedes-Benz drivers will see Tesla Superchargers on the map in the vehicle and the app, including availability status and price. They can seamlessly access the chargers and automatically pay for their charging sessions. The Superchargers will also be integrated into the Navigation with Electric Intelligence, which calculates a convenient and time-efficient route, including charging stops.
Mercedes-Benz EV drivers will be able to enjoy "Plug & Charge" functionality at Tesla Superchargers, which automatically starts the charging session upon plugin and seamlessly processes payments in the background when charging ends. A complimentary software update for all compatible vehicles will be performed by authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships to ensure smooth and easy Plug & Charge operation at Tesla Superchargers. Customers with vehicles in scope will be contacted directly to schedule their software update.
To accommodate existing Mercedes-Benz EV drivers with CCS1-compatible charging ports, the company will release a Mercedes-Benz approved NACS to CCS1 DC fast charging adapter. The 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 Q1 2025. Customers will be notified when adapters are available to purchase. This NACS to CCS1 adapter is the only adapter tested and certified for safety and compatibility with all Mercedes-Benz BEVs and any NACS DC fast charging point.
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.
