Non-Tesla EVs Will Get Supercharger Access In The U.S. This Year
Tesla reportedly plans to open up its Supercharger network to third-party EVs in the U.S. before the end of this year. It was a year ago in July 2021 that Tesla CEO Elon Musk originally announced plans to open the Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs. While some Tesla owners have expressed concerns that this could result in overcrowding at charging stations and lead to extended wait times, the company has tried to assure its customers that this would not be the case. With an eye toward expanding its Supercharger network even further, Tesla recently increased its Supercharger installation rate and is adding more stalls to the busier stations over time.
Tesla's Supercharger network in the U.S. is one of the largest fast-charging networks for EVs around the world. The network is present in all 50 states, with more than 1,200 Supercharger stations across the country. However, the number of stalls varies from one station to another, with the busiest areas accounting for more than 50 stalls per charging station. Globally, the company claims to have more than 35,000 Supercharger stalls, with the majority of them in the U.S. and China.

Earlier this week, the Biden-Harris Administration announced that Tesla's vast Supercharger network in the U.S. will be opened up to non-Tesla EVs. According to a fact sheet released by the White House, later this year, Tesla will begin the production of equipment that will allow non-Tesla vehicles to charge using its Superchargers in the U.S. The announcement is part of the administration's $7.5 billion investment to build a national network of EV chargers that will be open to all electric vehicles.
