Tesla has just expanded its Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program to China, where for the very first time, other electric cars can use Tesla Superchargers and destination charging points.
The pilot rollout includes a total of 10 select Supercharging stations (five in Beijing and five in Shanghai) as well as 120 destination charging points in 25 provinces and cities in the Chinese mainland.
To date, Tesla has more than 1,600 Supercharger stations in the Chinese mainland, offering more than 10,000 Superchargers, according to the announcement. It also has more than 700 destination charging stations in the Chinese mainland, offering more than 2,000 charging piles.
At the end of 2021, Tesla opened its charging network to non-Tesla vehicles on a pilot basis in Europe, and the service is now available to owners in more than 10 countries and regions worldwide, the company said.
Now, owners of non-Tesla-branded EVs in the Chinese mainland can also enjoy an efficient, convenient, and dense Tesla charging network, it said.
Tesla hopes its open and innovative business logic will bring together more industry partners to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, it added.
