A Tesla electric-powered sedan stands at a Tesla charging staiton at a highway reststop along the A7 highway on June 11, 2015 near Rieden, Germany. Tesla has introduced a limited network of charging stations along the German highway grid in an effort to raise the viability for consumers to use the cars for longer journeys.
However, this will soon change as the giant EV developer announced that Tesla Supercharger Network will support other electric car brands this coming September 2022.
This information came after some rumors claimed that the giant EV maker is about to open its valuable electric car fast-charging network. The company's announcement is a big deal since Tesla Supercharger Network is considered the most extensive of its kind.
Tesla developed its Supercharger so that its consumers no longer have to rely on third parties. As of the moment, the giant EV maker already deployed around 25,000 Superchargers at more than 2,700 stations across the globe.
Tesla Supercharger To Support Other EV Brands
According to Electrek's latest report, Tesla Supercharger Network is different from Electrify America, Ionity, Chargepoint, and other EV chargers since it specifically supports Elon Musk's own electric car brand.

But, this will soon change since Tesla confirmed that it will allow other EVs to use its charging stations. Since this is the case, the giant automaker explained that those EV makers who want to use its Supercharger Network need to share the company's costs.
The announcement is not really surprising for some electric car experts since various rumors claimed that Elon Musk already low-key allowed other automakers to use its Supercharger stations back in 2020.
Another proof is that a German official confirmed that it talked with Tesla to open up the Supercharger Network to other automakers in the country.
Other Tesla Supercharger Innovations
Aside from allowing other automakers to use it, Tesla also launched solar-powered Superchargers in Chain. The company confirmed that the new solar-powered EV chargers are currently located in Tibet.
"Tesla's light storage and charging integrated supercharging station was officially completed in Lhasa today," said Tesla Charing Team via Teslarati.
"The annual average of 3,000+ hours of light let the gifts of nature be used efficiently and help build a new green travel and low-carbon life way," added the company.
