Sources say Tesla will open Supercharger stations to non-Tesla cars in the U.S. this year

By    8 Jul,2022

Last November, Tesla announced it would allow other brands of electric vehicles to use its European Supercharger network for the first time, starting with a trial of 10 Supercharger stations in the Netherlands.

Tesla says the project is just part of a broader plan to open up its charging network to other brands of electric vehicles. Since then, Tesla has piloted the program in several major European cities, but has never opened Superchargers to non-Tesla cars in the United States.


Now, a White House memo shows Tesla will open Superchargers in the U.S. to other brands of electric vehicles. The White House released "Biden-Harris Administration Catalyzes more than $700 Million in Private Sector Commitments to Make EV Charging More Convenient and Affordable. Commitments to Make EV Charging More Affordable and Accessible)," said that later this year, Tesla will begin production of new Supercharger equipment that will enable non-Tesla EV owners in North America to use Tesla Superchargers. It's worth mentioning that Tesla has no official word on the matter before, and there is no official response from Tesla at this time.

IT Home learned that as early as 2015, Musk had stressed that Tesla had no plans to have exclusive access to the Supercharger network. Musk said that other automakers can use Tesla's Supercharger as long as they are willing to launch vehicles that can match the power of the Supercharger.
