(January 10, 2025) Mercedes-Benz USA announces a major expansion of public charging options for its electric vehicle customers. Beginning February 2025, Mercedes-Benz BEV drivers will gain access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States and Canada through the Mercedes me Charge service, enabling "Plug & Charge" functionality. 

This strategic integration underscores Mercedes-Benz's continued commitment to its comprehensive charging ecosystem that provides a fast, convenient charging and payment experience to all its electric vehicle customers however they choose to charge.

"As our technologically advanced and highly compelling all-electric vehicle portfolio continues to grow, we recognize that a critical component for a seamless ownership experience for our customers is to ensure convenient access to a broad charging network," said  Dimitris Psillakis, CEO, Mercedes-Benz USA.

"Adopting the NACS standard in our electric vehicles and opening the Tesla Supercharger network to our battery electric vehicle customers represents an important step forward as we continue to build a strong foundation to bring additional, game-changing all-electric vehicles to the market. Together with our fantastic dealer partners, we remain committed to reimagining the future of mobility and setting the benchmark in the luxury segment."


The Tesla Supercharger network will be integrated into Mercedes me Charge, Mercedes-Benz's own charging service that offers convenient public charging experiences at charging networks including Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging, IONNA, Electrify America, EVGo, ChargePoint, and more.

Mercedes-Benz BEV 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. Charging can also be initiated via the Mercedes-Benz app or the MBUX infotainment system. Tesla Superchargers will thus be integrated into Mercedes-Benz's "Navigation with Electric Intelligence."

This feature automatically navigates drivers to the most efficient, time-saving route including transparent charging stops and charging times. Further, Mercedes me Charge offers drivers visibility of charger locations, real-time charger availability, status, and pricing for all in-network charging points through both the Mercedes-Benz app and the MBUX infotainment system.
