Tesla to let other EVs use its Superchargers

July 20, 2021

We have some good news for EV owners, since Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that Tesla will soon open its Supercharger network to other EVs. Musk tweeted the announcement in response to a tweet that praised Tesla’s proprietary charging connection.

We created our own connector, as there was no standard back then & Tesla was only maker of long range electric cars.

It’s one fairly slim connector for both low & high power charging.

That said, we’re making our Supercharger network open to other EVs later this year.

The big news here is that non-Tesla electric vehicles will be able to access Tesla’s Supercharger network later this year.

While this is great news, there’s still a lot that we don’t know yet. For example will non-Tesla vehicles be able to get a DC fast charge or will they be limited to Level 2 speeds. Also don’t expect the chargers to be free. But either way this means that there will be another option for EV drivers later this year.
