Mercedes-Benz is giving its electric vehicle owners access to Tesla's Supercharger network for public fast charging with approved adapters.

Mercedes-Benz said that its electric vehicles will be able to access Tesla’s Supercharger network starting in February.

Mercedes just announced when its EVs will actually be compatible. It's the traditional method of operating, similar to what others have been doing: owners will be granted an adapter to convert their existing Combined Charging System (CCS) port to the more efficient NACS protocol.

Electric Benz drivers in the US can use the chargers from February, but although the company will switch to NACS ports on new cars, existing owners need a $185 adapter

Sometime during this quarter, a NACS adapter will start rolling into dealers nationwide. Said adapter is priced at 185 dollars

Six non-Tesla EV brands now have more charging options, with Mercedes up next in February. Here's the full list and how this major industry shift came about.

Mercedes-Benz has announced its customers will soon be able to pull up to Tesla's Supercharger stations, plug in, and charge. That's predictable news given how starting in 2025 new electric Mercedes products will ship with NACS charge ports (the same design utilized by Tesla) instead of the CCS1 style used until now.
