Tesla Opens Superchargers to Non-Tesla EVs in China as Part of Pilot

Tesla announced it has opened up its Superchargers in China to non-Tesla vehicles, following a similar move in Europe, the U.S. and beyond, a total of 10 countries and regions.

On Weibo, Tesla says this new Supercharger pilot program for non-Tesla EVs has begun at 10 stations and will work for 37 models of non-Tesla EVs. These Supercharger locations will first be opened up in Beijing and Shanghai, as seen below:

Also, Tesla will have a pilot launch of 120 destination chargers covering 25 provinces and municipalities.

Tesla says it has over 1,600 Supercharging stations in China and over 10,000 chargers.

Non-Tesla EV owners can get started by downloading version 4.20.69 or later of the Tesla mobile app and following instructions on how to start charging.

Many Tesla owners commented on the Weibo post, fearing the opening of Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs may result in long line ups and congestion at chargers.

Tesla announced this month it has reached 45,000 Superchargers worldwide, while its 2022 Impact Report reiterated 99.9% uptime for its Supercharger network, something rivals can only dream of.
