German automaker Mercedes-Benz said its electric vehicles (EV) in North America will adopt the Tesla-developed charging technology from 2025 and also get access to more than 12,000 of its Superchargers from next year.
Mercedes-Benz joins a slew of automakers who have adopted the North American Charging Standard (NACS) as they try to expand their network of fast-chargers in an attempt to make owning EVs easier.
Tesla’s Superchargers account for about 60 percent of the total number of fast chargers in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Mercedes-Benz also plans to simultaneously expand its charging network with more than 2,500 high-power chargers in North America.
