It was going to happen eventually: Tesla will let a non-Tesla charge at their vast Supercharger network. Starting later this year, you'll be able to charge anything from a Chevrolet Bolt to a Porsche Taycan. Tesla have set up 25K superchargers globally, so this move will largely dismiss range anxiety among those who don't drive a Tesla. However, it will require people who wish to charge their non-Tesla to buy a compatible charging connector. To use a Supercharger, the car will need a CCS Combo 1, which is relatively common, but not on every EV. Also, don't be worried this is just another crazy Elon Musk scheme: sharing the Supercharger network can potentially be extremely lucrative. Reports suggest that the network will first open up in some unspecified markets, and eventually in all major countries.
