Tesla Supercharger Membership for Non-Tesla EV Owners

As per the latest news story by Tesla North, the giant EV maker owned by the ultra-rich entrepreneur, Elon Musk, launched its new Supercharger memberships, which welcome non-Tesla vehicles.

The new Supercharger membership of Tesla offers two plans.

The first one allows users to only pay wherever they top up the batteries of their vehicles at the wide Supercharger network of the American EV maker.

On the other hand, the new membership service requires users to pay a monthly fee to gain access to the Supercharger network in the US. And on top of that, it also offers lower pricing per kilowatt hour (kWh) compared to the "Pay Per Use" route.

The official mobile app of the EV maker, which brought us various all-electric cars, such as the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, confirms the monthly pricing of its Supercharger membership.

The app says that the monthly subscription fee to gain access to the Supercharger network costs nearly a dollar or $0.99, to be more exact.

While the Supercharger Membership is mandatory for Tesla account holders, it is also open for owners of other EV brands like Volkswagen and Ford.

PETALUMA, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 09: Tesla Superchargers are seen at the Petaluma Supercharger on March 09, 2022 in Petaluma, California. With oil prices continuing to soar, shares for companies in the electric vehicle sector are rising as consumers look to trade their gas powered cars in for electric vehicles.

All that said, if you needed to charge the battery of your non-Tesla EV, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, you may do so at lower kWh pricing via the Supercharger membership.

Tesla North notes in the same report that the pricing of the Supercharger membership is significantly cheaper than the costs of other charging networks in the US.

It is worth noting that the membership to access the charging network of Electrify America sells to the tune of $4 per month.
