Now that we've explored how straightforward Mercedes-Benz electric models charging can be, let's discuss which public chargers Mercedes-Benz EVs can utilize. While most electric vehicles can charge at a variety of public stations, Mercedes-Benz is expanding its existing Mercedes-Benz charging infrastructure to make Mercedes-Benz electric models charging even more accessible. Here's how:

  • Tesla Partnership: Beginning in 2024, drivers of Mercedes-Benz EV models can use Tesla Superchargers to power up on the go.
  • NACS Integration: Mercedes-Benz is leading the way in the EV industry by being the first German OEM to offer NACS adapters for its existing lineup and installing NACS ports in every electric vehicle from 2025 onwards to eliminate the need for a Mercedes-Benz Tesla adapter.
  • Mercedes-Benz Charging Network Expansion: Drivers can gain even easier access to Mercedes-Benz electric models charging stations thanks to the company's expansion of their own charging network.
  • New High-Power Charging Sites: As part of the Mercedes-Benz electric models charging stations expansion, drivers will soon be able to utilize more than 2,500 high-powered Mercedes-Benz supercharger locations throughout North America.

The Tesla partnership increases drivers' public charging options by more than 12,000, a total that's in addition to the brand's existing network of more than 90,000 public charging points and an extra 2,500 High-Power Charging Sites. Long story short, now that Mercedes-Benz models can charge at Tesla stations, the EQS vs. Tesla Model X rivalry has an obvious winner.

On a global level, Mercedes-Benz plans to build more than 2,000 charging hubs by the end of this decade to better serve its customers. Explore our Mercedes-Benz electric inventory for sale to find your favorite model and all of its Mercedes-Benz charging options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What charging plug does Mercedes-Benz use?

When you drive Mercedes-Benz electric models, charging is simplified thanks to each vehicle's compatibility with Combined Charging System, or CCS, chargers. These chargers are the most common type in North America, and most major automotive brands use a CCS-compatible design. Tesla does not comply with CCS, but the new Mercedes-Benz and Tesla partnership makes charging Mercedes-Benz models at Tesla Supercharger stations possible.

Can you charge Mercedes-Benz vehicles with a Tesla Supercharger?

Yes, because of a recent collaboration with Tesla, Mercedes-Benz electric models can now access Tesla Superchargers. To charge 2024 or earlier Mercedes-Benz EV models at Tesla locations, you'll need a NACS adapter, but Mercedes-Benz electric models produced in 2025 or after will come with integrated NACS ports to make charging Mercedes-Benz models at Tesla Supercharger stations seamless.

How long does it take to charge Mercedes-Benz all-electric models at a Tesla Supercharger?

Mercedes-Benz EV charging times depend on multiple factors, including the model and motor you choose to drive. Since the Mercedes-Benz and Tesla partnership is still very new, we do not have current data about how quickly people will be charging Mercedes-Benz models at Tesla Supercharger stations, but we'll update this page as new information becomes available. We expect times to be comparable to other major networks.
