Isn’t the supercharger network now open to everyone? Or is that an EU only thing?
- TulliusCicero 3y agoI checked and no. It seems to only be some a relative few stations.

- opinion-is-bad 3y agoMost OEMs have signed deals with Tesla to use their network in the US, but I don’t believe these have yet to go into effect.
- cbhl 3y agoTesla built the US superchargers first, so they used a proprietary plug that only just got standardized as NACS / SAE J3400, whereas non-Tesla US EVs were selling with standard CCS (or J1772) ports. Different from the EU Superchargers, which I believe do offer standard CCS?
- resolutebat 3y agoThere are two parts to this: 1) Tesla needs to open up superchargers to other cars. They're doing this at scale now, but generally only the less popular ones, or if they're required to do so by government grants. So many key sites are still off limits to others. 2) In the US only, other car manufacturers need to adopt Tesla's NACS charging standard, so they can physically connect to superchargers. (In the rest of world, everybody including Tesla is already standardized on CCS2.)
