The automaker's charging network is open to other electric car brands is now more possible. 

Previously, the EV maker confirmed that the Supercharger would open to other EVs before 2022 ends. 

Although the exact date is not yet confirmed, the efforts made by Tesla to expand its Supercharger Network to other EV brands are more noticeable. 

As of writing, the non-Tesla Supercharger expansion is only available in Europe. But, this is expected to happen in the United States this 2022. 

Tesla Supercharger Non-Tesla EV Expansion

According to Electrek's latest report, Tesla Supercharger in Europe is easy to expand to other EV brands compared to the U.S.

In Europe, Tesla Superchargers has already adopted the CCS standards of the nation. On the other hand, they are also equipped with CCS connectors. 

Thanks to this, the automaker needs only one thing to do to allow other electric car models to use its Supercharger Network; open up its software compatibility, as reported by InsideEVs. 

Meanwhile, Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S. are more complicated due to having their own proprietary connector. Because of this, the giant EV charging network still has limitations, preventing non-Tesla cars from using it. 

As of writing, it is still unclear how the automaker plans to allow its U.S.-based Supercharger stations to accommodate other EV brands. 

But, one thing is for sure. The EV maker is making efforts to acquire more public financial assistance to make the U.S. non-Tesla Supercharger expansion a reality.  

Will Tesla Supercharger Receive White House's EV Funds? 

Previously, the White House announced that it opened up billions of dollars in funding to allow companies to enhance EV charging infrastructures. 

However, tech firms are required to open up their EV charging networks to other electric car brands before they can receive the U.S. federal government's financial assistance. 

This means that Tesla will not be able to have the White House's public grants until the Supercharger Network accommodates other EV brands in the U.S. 

Previously, Aptera launched a petition, saying that Tesla's Superchargers and plugs should be the new U.S. EV charging standards. 

Meanwhile, a new milestone was achieved by the massive Tesla Supercharger Network.
