Mercedes-Benz Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) drivers in Canada now have access to more than 25,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States and Canada. The Tesla Supercharger network is being integrated into MB.CHARGE Public, formerly Mercedes me Charge, the company’s public charging service that provides seamless access to major networks including ChargePoint, FLO, BC Hydro, Circuit Electrique, and others.

With the Digital Extra: MB.CHARGE Public feature, Mercedes-Benz customers can access nearly 200,000 charging points through a single contract, creating one of the largest aggregated charging networks in North America. This integration reinforces Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to providing a fast, convenient, and unified charging and payment experience for its electric vehicle customers.

To support existing Mercedes-Benz BEV owners with CCS1-compatible charging ports, the company has introduced a Mercedes-Benz approved NACS to CCS1 DC fast charging adapter, allowing charging at Tesla Supercharger stations. Tested and certified for safety and full compatibility, the adapter is now available at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Canada for $219.95 plus applicable taxes.

Starting in late 2025, Mercedes-Benz will begin equipping its new electric vehicle lineup in North America with NACS charging ports, enabling direct access to NACS DC fast charging points without the need for an adapter.

The integration of the Tesla Supercharger network and the upcoming inclusion of NACS ports mark key milestones in the expansion of the Mercedes-Benz charging ecosystem. MB.CHARGE serves as the umbrella for all digital charging solutions from Mercedes-Benz, designed to provide customers with a connected, convenient, and reliable charging experience on the road, at home, and at work.

“Convenient access to a broad charging network is integral to a seamless EV ownership experience. Expanding the MB.CHARGE network with the integration of the Tesla Supercharger network represents another important step as we continue to build a strong foundation to bring additional, game-changing all-electric vehicles to the market.” said Andreas Tetzloff, CEO, Mercedes-Benz Canada
