Mercedes’ EV Charging Network Hit 100 Locations After 3 Years In The U.S.

Mercedes-Benz may have sold its EV charging network in Europe, but the automaker’s American network is still alive and well, and it’s now celebrating its third anniversary.

Since debuting in November 2023, the Mercedes-Benz High-Powered Charging (MB HPC) network has gone from just a handful of locations in a few states to nearly 1,000 individual ports at 100 sites across 28 U.S. states and Canada's British Columbia.

All of the carmaker’s fast chargers can deliver up to 400 kilowatts of power, with over 245,000 customers topping up their EVs at a Mercedes-Benz stall in the past three years. According to the company, the vast majority of stalls have both CCS and NACS connectors, while only 3% of locations have just CCS connectors.

That’s a big thing nowadays, when most of the new EVs on the market have a Tesla-style NACS charging port. The smaller inlet started making a splash among traditional automakers after Ford broke industry barriers and convinced Tesla to open up its Supercharger network to other makes. That said, NACS-equipped vehicles can still charge at CCS stations with an adapter, and vice versa.

Near-perfect uptime has been a headlining feature of Mercedes-Benz’s charging network stateside since its launch, but while those figures have remained relatively unchanged in the past three years, another metric has emerged as a differentiator, at least in the German automaker’s eyes.
