Tesla's Supercharger Network Expands with Major Automakers and Mercedes-Benz Partnership

Major automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, General Motors, and Rivian, are planning to adopt Tesla's supercharger network, allowing their electric vehicle customers to recharge using Tesla's extensive charging infrastructure. Mercedes-Benz announced that its EV customers will have access to over 12,000 Tesla superchargers starting next year, with an adapter provided for current models and future vehicles already equipped with the supercharger port. This move is part of a broader industry effort to establish a universal charging port for EVs. Offering more charging stations is seen as a strategy to attract customers to the growing electric car market, which is expected to reach $1.1 trillion globally by 2030.
