Can a Mercedes-Benz EQ charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Yes. Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles with a CCS1 inlet (including EQB, EQE, and EQS) can use Tesla Superchargers by using the official Mercedes-Benz NACS-to-CCS1 adapter. Activation and payment are handled through the vehicle interface or the Mercedes-Benz app (Mercedes me Charge).

Note: The adapter is for DC fast charging only, not for AC Level 2 home charging.

How fast do they charge on DC fast chargers?

EQE family (Sedan/SUV): up to 170 kW; ~32 minutes from 10–80% in typical conditions.
EQS family (Sedan/SUV): up to 200 kW; ~31 minutes from 10–80% in typical conditions.
General EQ guidance: up to 200 kW on many models (~30 minutes 10–80%); EQE models support up to 170 kW.

How long does home charging take?

On a 240V Level 2 charger, Mercedes-Benz EQ models typically accept up to 9.6 kW. For example, an EQE SUV can charge 0–100% in ~11.5 hours; an EQS SUV shows ~14 hours. Actual times vary by battery size and state of charge.

What connector do Mercedes-Benz EQ models use?

Most current Mercedes-Benz EQ vehicles in the U.S. have a CCS1 inlet for DC fast charging and a J1772 inlet for AC Level 2. Access to Tesla Superchargers is enabled via the official Mercedes-Benz NACS adapter.

How do EQ models plan charging on road trips?

Navigation with Electric Intelligence automatically plots charging stops along your route and factors in terrain, traffic, temperature, and desired state-of-charge at destination.

Are the charging times the same at every station?

No. Charge rate depends on the station’s output, your vehicle’s peak capability, battery temperature, and state of charge. For reference: EQE models peak at 170 kW and EQS models at 200 kW, with best speeds typically between ~10–60% before taper.
