• Mercedes-Benz to integrate North American Charging Standard (NACS) in its electric vehicle line-up – introduction in North America starting 2025
• Mercedes-Benz drivers gain access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America beginning in 2024
• Mercedes-Benz to simultaneously expand new Mercedes-Benz Charging Network with more than 2,500 high-power chargers in North America to provide a best-in-class charging experience
• First Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging sites to open in Q4 2023 for both Mercedes-Benz and non-Mercedes-Benz drivers

Mercedes-Benz drivers can use Tesla Superchargers in North America starting in 2024, following a customer-focused approach to scale electric vehicles based on a superior product experience and full access to all major charging networks.

Mercedes-Benz will be the first German OEM to implement NACS ports into its new electric vehicles starting in 2025. As part of a phased transition, Mercedes-Benz will initially offer an adapter that enables the company’s existing CCS BEVs to charge seamlessly on the NACS network from 2024 onwards.

从2024年起，梅赛德斯-奔驰车主通过梅赛德斯-奔驰自己的充电服务 Mercedes me Charge，可以使用北美地区超过12,000个特斯拉超级充电桩。梅赛德斯-奔驰车主将在车辆地图和应用程序中看到特斯拉超级充电桩，包括可用状态和价格。他们可以无缝使用这些充电桩并自动支付充电费用。超级充电桩还将集成到“电动智能导航”中，该导航可计算出包含充电站在内的便捷且省时的路线。在北美，Mercedes me Charge服务目前涵盖90,000多个充电桩，加上梅赛德斯-奔驰即将推出的自有大功率充电网络，为客户提供增强的体验。同时，梅赛德斯-奔驰将继续对更多、更新的高品质充电服务保持开放态度，以进一步增加客户的大功率充电机会并推动电动汽车的普及。.

Mercedes-Benz adds to existing infrastructure with 2,500 high-power chargers in North America
In addition to ensuring compatibility with an expanded network of existing charging stations, Mercedes-Benz will establish its own High-Power Charging Network with more than 400 Charging Hubs, including more than 2,500 high-power chargers in North America by the end of the decade, together with its American partners. The first Mercedes-Benz Charging Hubs in North America will be opened by the end of 2023 and will be equipped with both CCS1 and NACS plugs.

Globally, Mercedes-Benz plans to establish more than 2,000 Charging Hubs in North America, Europe, China and other core markets by the end of the decade. In total, these will be comprised of more than 10,000 charging points, which can further be expanded depending on market needs. The Mercedes-Benz Charging Hubs will be universally open to electric vehicles from all brands, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of EV owners. Already today, with Mercedes me Charge, Mercedes-Benz customers can currently access more than 1.2 million charging points worldwide.

With its own charging network, Mercedes-Benz will set a new standard for EV infrastructure, enabling a convenient charging experience in terms of fast, safe and green charging of electric vehicles.

“With the development of Mercedes-Benz’s new North American High-Power Charging Network, we are ready to redefine the electric vehicle charging experience. We’re building on our strong brand promise here by leveraging the renowned quality, reputation, and customer focus for which Mercedes-Benz has been known for well over a century.”
