Tesla should open the US supercharger network to other electric vehicles and apply for funds

Tesla should open the US supercharger network to other electric vehicles and apply for funds

 


Tesla is set to open up its US network of superchargers to other electric vehicles, with the automaker seeking public funding under the promise that it will. The Biden administration has billions of dollars up for grabs to help accelerate the growth of charging infrastructure and Tesla wants to participate in that funding.

In recent years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has frequently raised the possibility of opening up the manufacturer’s charging network to other electric cars. And recently, Tesla started doing it in Europe. In the UK, non-Tesla owners can pay $10.99 ($13.26) per month to gain access to a lower kWh price at Tesla Superchargers. It’s unclear at this time if this “lower price per kWh” is the same amount Tesla owners have to pay.

In Europe, it was very easy for Tesla to open its network since its Superchargers all have CCS connectors. Therefore, the only thing that needed to be updated was software compatibility. However, in North America, Tesla uses its own proprietary connectors. Therefore, the only way non-Tesla EVs can currently use a Supercharger is through a CHAdeMO or CCS adapter.

In May, Musk suggested that Tesla will have adapters on its US chargers for other electric cars when the grid opens up. But when will it open? By the end of the year, most likely. Here is an excerpt from a White House announcement:

“Later this year, Tesla will begin production of new supercharger equipment that will allow non-Tesla electric vehicle drivers in North America to use Tesla superchargers.”

So it looks like Tesla will get its hands on juicy government subsidies in exchange for expanding its network and opening up to electric cars from competing brands. Tesla owners, what do you think of this? The Supercharger network was undoubtedly a great USP for Tesla. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
