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 said that its electric vehicles will be able to access Tesla’s Supercharger network starting in February. By now you should be familiar with how this goes: a manufacturer announces Supercharger access,

Starting in February 2025 (no exact date has been confirmed), all existing Mercedes EVs, essentially all models wearing the EQ nomenclature, will be able to connect to a Tesla Supercharger under the condition that the cars are equipped with a CCS to NACS adapter.

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.

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

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.
