Starting in February 2025, American drivers of Mercedes-Benz electric cars will rate their cars on more than 20,000 Tesla Superraters across the United States and Canada.
Canadian drivers will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network later in 2025.
Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will provide a free software update for compatible cars to work with Plug.
Mercedes me Charge shows drivers the location of chargers, the availability of chargers in real time, the prestige and costs of all charging problems on the network, the Mercedes-Benz app and the MBUX infotainment system. Charging can also be initiated via the Mercedes-Benz app or the MBUX infotainment system.
Tesla Superchargers will be incorporated into Mercedes-Benz’s “Navigation with Electric Intelligence”. This feature directs drivers to the fastest and most effective route, adding stops and charging times without interruption.
“The fast-growing network of charging points available in Mercedes me Charge will now expand to over 110,000 public charging points across the United States and Canada, providing Mercedes-Benz drivers with an industry-leading charging experience whenever and wherever they choose to charge,” said Franz Reiner, chairman of the board of management at Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG.
Mercedes says a North American Charging Standard NACS to CCS1 adapter for current CCS1-compatible EVs will be available at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships for purchase in the US for $185 in Q1 2025. Lectron says it’s supplying the adapter. Customers will be notified when adapters are available to purchase. They’ll be available from Canadian dealerships in Q2 2025, with pricing to be confirmed closer to market introduction.
The German automaker will introduce NACS ports to its EV lineup starting in 2025.
