Tesla Introduces Supercharger For Non-Tesla EVs

Tesla Inc $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ (NASDAQ: TSLA) launched its Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot at 10 Supercharger locations in the Netherlands, reaching over 25,000 Superchargers globally.

Now ten stations are accessible to Dutch Non-Tesla EV drivers via the Tesla app (version 4.2.3 or higher).

Tesla users can plug in and out, while non-Tesla EV drivers will have to indicate on the app when to start and stop the charging session.

The price of electricity will stay the same for Tesla owners, but non-Teslas will incur additional costs. Only EVs with a CCS standard connection will be eligible to participate in the pilot.

The U.S. Tesla Superchargers use a proprietary connector, could sell or offer an adapter at the company’s North America charging locations, should the network open in the U.S.

Tesla could implement dynamic pricing during busy periods. Tesla will add additional countries to the program shortly.

“Our ambition has always been to open the Supercharger network to Non-Tesla electric cars to encourage more drivers to make the switch to electric driving,” Tesla said.

Price Action: TSLA shares traded higher by 7.35% at $1,196.26 on the last check Monday.
