On September 10, 2026, Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging broke ground on its first charging hub in New York City. The site, at JFK Park near John F. Kennedy International Airport, will have 38 charging stalls with up to 400 kW each.
Hub Details
- 38 stalls with charging power up to 400 kW.
- Both NACS and CCS cables for broad vehicle compatibility.
- A 2.6-acre site at JFK Park.
- A covered canopy and 24/7 access.
- Opening expected in late fall 2027.
- Developed with partners Wildflower Ltd and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
Network Growth
According to EVChargingStations.com, the Mercedes-Benz network has 92 locations and 872 stalls. Airport hubs serve ride-hail drivers, taxis and travellers, groups that often cannot charge at home and need fast turnaround.
What It Means
Dual-connector sites show how the U.S. market is handling the move to NACS: new hubs serve both connector types during the transition. For home and workplace charging, buyers face a similar choice between NACS and J1772. EVDANCE offers both, as explained in our USA supplier page.
