The three brands in the VW Group currently selling EVs in the U.S.—VW, Audi, and Porsche—announced Supercharger access and the eventual adoption of the Tesla NACS port in December 2023, alongside the new Scout brand. Scout isn't planning to deliver its first vehicles until 2027.

As soon as next month, the legacy German automaker says its BEVs will be able to charge on Tesla’s Supercharger network.

That means the industry-wide rollout could also be complete around that time, opening up nearly 18,000 public charging options to all non-Teslas, with an adapter to start.

Starting in February, Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles will be able to charge at 20,000 Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S., the automaker announced Thursday.

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

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.
