While Mercedes-Benz divested its HPC charging business in Europe, the German automaker has continuously expanded its North American EV charging infrastructure since launching in November 2023 with five locations and 32 charging points.
Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging (MB HPC), the company’s North American high-power charging network, is now marking its third anniversary with 100 locations and 934 active charging points across 28 US states and the Canadian province of British Columbia. According to Mercedes-Benz, over 245,000 customers have completed more than one million charging sessions there, with a total installed capacity of around 205 megawatts.
All MB HPC network locations feature 400-kilowatt fast chargers from manufacturer Alpitronic. To ensure cross-manufacturer compatibility, 93 per cent of the locations are equipped with both the CCS1 connector and the Tesla NACS standard. Only seven per cent offer CCS exclusively.
This allows people with EVs from 19 different automotive brands — including Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Hyundai, BMW, and Porsche — to use the infrastructure, mostly without adapters. The locations are primarily located along traffic corridors and shopping centres, with capacities ranging from smaller units with four charging points to as many as 20.
In addition to physical availability, Mercedes-Benz also focuses on its first-time success rate. Through practical test series with end customers, this figure increased from an initial 84 per cent in 2023 to over 90 per cent. In J.D. Power’s 2026 customer satisfaction study, providers Mercedes-Benz, Ionna, and Rivian have thus secured the top spots for the first time, surpassing the previous market leader, Tesla.
