The North American Charging System (NACS) is a charging connector that enables access to DC fast charging systems like Tesla’s Supercharger network. With the Mercedes-Benz DC Fast Charging Adapter, you will be able to charge your Mercedes-Benz EV at Tesla Supercharger stations.
The Mercedes-Benz DC Fast Charging Adapter is designed exclusively for DC fast charging and not intended to be used for AC charging, such as at home charging units or Level 2 public chargers. The DC adapter connects the NACS-equipped charging cable to the Combined Charging System (CCS1) port on your Mercedes-Benz EV, enabling DC fast charging at Supercharger locations. The adapter is rated for 500 amps and 1000 volts, ensuring efficient and rapid charging.
Additionally, using a non-approved adapter that is not the Mercedes-Benz DC Fast Charging Adapter can result in damage to your Mercedes-Benz EV that may not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty. Contact Mercedes-Benz of Hunt Valley to learn more about the Mercedes-Benz DC Fast Charging Adapter, including availability of the Mercedes-Benz DC Fast Charging Adapter.
Yes – Mercedes-Benz plans to integrate NACS ports directly into their EV lineup, eliminating the need for an adapter when accessing Supercharger stations.
If you have a Mercedes-Benz Fast Charging Adapter, click on “Charging Status & Settings” in the Mercedes-Benz app, then toggle on “NACS Adapter” when prompted. Your vehicle will now display NACS-equipped charging stations, including Supercharger stations, and Navigation with Electric Intelligence will automatically optimize your route to include charging station stops along the way.
Please note that not all Supercharger stations are accessible to Mercedes-Benz all-electric vehicles. Your vehicle’s navigation display or Mercedes-Benz app will only display accessible stations once you’ve confirmed in the app that you have the NACS DC Fast Charging Adapter. Your vehicle’s display will inform you that a Supercharger station requires the DC Fast Charging Adapter by explicitly saying, “DC Fast Charging Adapter required. A Mercedes-Benz approved adapter is recommended.”
No – charging your Mercedes-Benz EV at home is still available and is not affected by the addition of being able to charge your vehicle at NACS charging stations. For home charging solutions, Mercedes-Benz offers the home wallbox, a Level 2 charger that provides up to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. This charger is ideal for overnight charging, ensuring your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is ready each morning.
Additionally, the Mercedes-Benz app features Mercedes me Charge, granting you access to over 85,000 public charging stations nationwide. This integration simplifies the charging process by consolidating multiple charging networks into a single, user-friendly platform.
