Tesla is beginning its Non-Tesla Supercharger trial in the Netherlands today at ten Supercharger locations.
Large-scale EV adoption requires access to a comprehensive, convenient, and dependable fast-charging network. That’s why, since the first Superchargers opened in 2012, we’ve been focused on rapidly expanding the network. We now have over 25,000 Superchargers around the world.
With this experiment, non-Tesla EV drivers in the Netherlands can now access 10 stations via the Tesla app (version 4.2.3 or higher). Tesla drivers can continue to use these stations as usual, and we’ll keep an eye on each one for congestion and hear from customers about their experiences.
Tesla made a statement that “It’s always been our goal to expand the Supercharger network to include non-Tesla electric vehicles in order to encourage more people to switch to electric vehicles. This action furthers our goal of hastening the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”
The company also said “Faster expansion is possible with more consumers using the Supercharger network. Our goal is to swiftly learn and iterate while aggressively expanding the network so that we can eventually welcome both Tesla and non-Tesla drivers at every Supercharger across the world.”
