Tesla allows electric vehicles of all types to be charged at Supercharger stations

Earlier this week, Tesla launched a pilot project in the Netherlands that allows

Supercharger stations for charging batterieselectric vehicle batteries from other manufacturers. This is the first time that any electric vehicle manufacturer has opened its own charging stations for other companies' electric vehicles.

Initially only ten Supercharger stationswill be available for third-party electric vehicles. Owners will need to download the latest version of the Tesla smartphone app to be able to charge their vehicles at Supercharger stations. After launching the app, users will also be able to see a “Charge a non-Tesla EV” option, which can be used to find the nearest charging station participating in this pilot project.

Choosing the Netherlands as a starting point forthis pilot project makes perfect sense. Elon Musk said some time ago that the experiment would likely begin in Europe, where charging cable connectors are standardized. After the Netherlands, other European countries are expected to join the project even before Tesla allows other brands of electric vehicles to charge at Supercharger stations in the US. The situation there is different, since the connectors are more varied and you have to use adapters.
