It has been fairly a while since we final time heard in regards to the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program growth to new markets.

We just lately visited Tesla‘s web site and it turned out that at present, non-Tesla electrical autos can use a few of Tesla Superchargers in practically 20 nations.

The newest addition is Turkey, which joined because the nineteenth nation. Nevertheless, there are solely 4 Supercharging websites obtainable for non-Tesla autos in Turkey. For reference, in 15 European nations, Tesla already opened a whole lot of web sites.

In Europe, Australia, and Turkey, issues are comparatively simple as a result of Tesla makes use of the identical charging connector – CCS2 – as the remainder of the EV trade. Equally in China, the place there may be the GB/T normal. However in North America, the opening of Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs requires an adapter from NACS to CCS1.

The progress within the US is moderately sluggish, as simply over ten stations have been outfitted with the Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapters, since March 2023. We guess that there’s a proof for that – like the transition from the CCS1 charging connector to NACS, introduced by main EV producers.

Tesla would possibly nonetheless proceed to put in Magic Docks on new charging stalls in North America (Canada is predicted to affix in 2023), which might open the door for public funds within the Nationwide Electrical Automobile Infrastructure Formulation Program (NEVI), however we guess that there’s little to no incentive for the corporate to retrofit older chargers with the Magic Dock. In just a few years, new non-Tesla EVs might be NACS-compatible anyway.

One more reason why issues are usually not transferring quicker within the US may be an intention to speed up the installations, as soon as the brand new V4 Superchargers will arrive (the primary ones are already put in in Europe). The V4 is supplied with an extended cable, which is necessary to deal with non-Tesla EVs (charging inlets situated in varied locations).

The Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program consists of:

• Europe (15 nations) – France, the Netherlands, Norway, UK, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Iceland, Italy
  [Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard]
  Moreover, to deal with varied EVs, new V4 stations are outfitted with an extended cable
• Australia
  [Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard]
• Canada – coming in 2023

• Turkey
