Tesla Agrees to Open Supercharger Network to Non-Tesla EVs, Doubling US Charging Stations

Move Set to Expand EV Charging Infrastructure Across the Country and Boost Electric Vehicle Market

On Wednesday, the Biden administration announced a plan to build a network of government and private charging stations that work with any electric vehicle (EV), making it easy to charge any kind of car along major highways.

The government’s plan includes commitments from Tesla, General Motors, and others to build their own charging stations that complement the government’s system.

Tesla has committed to building a network of at least 7,500 chargers that will be open to all EV drivers by the end of 2024. The government is pushing for consistent plug types, power levels, and a minimum number of stations capable of fast charging to get cars back on the road quickly, which is crucial for road trips.

Other companies, including Hertz, BP, Pilot Company, EVgo, TravelCenters of America, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Starbucks, are also announcing their plans to build EV charging stations that work with any EV model.

The Biden administration has also approved plans from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico to add EV chargers along the existing interstate highway system less than 50 miles apart. Overall, President Biden aims to have at least 50% of vehicle sales be electric by 2030 and a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers by the same year.
