Australia opens up Tesla Supercharger stations to all electric vehicles

Nearly half of all Tesla Supercharger stations in Australia have been opened to non-Tesla electric vehicle (EV) owners, marking a significant milestone in Tesla's open Supercharger program. Out of the 63 Supercharger stations in the country, 30 are now accessible to all electric vehicle brands.

The Tesla Superchargers that are open to non-Tesla EVs include locations such as Tuggeranong, ACT; Tailem Bend, SA; Mount Gambier, SA; Clare, SA; Berry, NSW; Blaxland, NSW; Campbelltown, NSW; Knockrow, NSW; Tenterfield, NSW; Wollongong, NSW; Bathurst, NSW; Dubbo, NSW; Hollydene, NSW; Narooma, NSW; Tamworth, NSW; Gympie, QLD; Rochedale, QLD; Toowoomba, QLD; Bendigo, VIC; Box Hill, VIC; Cann River, VIC; Colac, VIC; Geelong, VIC; Moe, VIC; Mornington, VIC; Shepparton, VIC; Yea, VIC; Warrnambool, VIC; Margaret River, WA; and Williams, WA.

Tesla Owners Club Western Australia has also provided information on the fees for using the open Superchargers. For customers with a Supercharging Membership, the price to use a Supercharger stall on a non-Tesla EV is $9.99 per month. For non-members, Tesla charges $0.78 per kWh, and there are idle fees of up to $1.00 per minute.

The Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot program is not only available in Australia but also in several other countries including the United States, France, The Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Iceland, Italy, Mainland China, and Türkiye. In Tesla's Q1 2023 Update Letter, it was reported that Tesla Supercharger stations saw a 33% growth year-over-year.

Tesla's charging infrastructure is expected to continue growing rapidly as more automakers adopt the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS). The Tesla NACS is making a significant impact on the electric vehicle industry in North America. Texas, for example, recently announced that it would require companies to include Tesla NACS connectors in electric vehicle stations across the state. EV charging providers must have Tesla NACS connectors in their stalls to be eligible for federal funding in Texas.
