Tesla opens charging network to other EVs for the first time — via drivingdotca Tesla EV autonews
Tesla drivers can continue to use these stations and the company will closely monitor each site for congestion.
Tesla operates more than 25,000 Superchargers worldwide, while other carmakers have formed alliances or invested in startups for networks as they rush new electric vehicles to market. The Superchargers are open to cars with the Combined Charging System favored by BMW, Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler, Ford, and Volkswagen, which builds Audi and Porsche EVs.Tesla uses the CCS standard in Europe, allowing a wide range of cars to charge in stations without an adapter that uses a similar connector.
Charging prices for non-Tesla drivers will include extra costs to support a broad range of vehicles and site adjustments to accommodate these vehicles, Tesla said. The price to charge can be lowered with a charging membership, it added. “This move directly supports our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy,” the company said.
