Mercedes has become the latest electric vehicle automaker to sign a deal with Tesla for access to Superchargers and to adopt NACS.
The number of automakers that don’t support NACS continues to look smaller.
Today, Mercedes announced that it will become the latest automaker to adopt Tesla’s charging connector and port as more and more companies hop on board the North American Charging Standard train. In a press release, the company said that it will start using Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging connector in its future electric vehicles starting in 2025.
In addition to adopting Tesla’s charging connector, the company will also gain access to Tesla’s Supercharger network starting next year. Mercedes says that its customers can already find over 90,000 charging locations through the company’s own Mercedes me Charge service but that it will add over 12,000 Superchargers to the network starting in 2024.
