Can 2024 Solterra use a Tesla Supercharger?
The short answer is no, the 2024 Solterra electric vehicle from Subaru cannot use Tesla's Supercharger network. The Solterra is not compatible with Tesla's proprietary charging system, and Tesla does not allow other automakers' vehicles to access its Supercharger stations.
Incompatibility with Tesla Superchargers
The 2024 Solterra, Subaru's first all-electric vehicle, uses a standard J1772 charging connector, which is the most common electric vehicle charging plug in North America. Tesla's Supercharger network, on the other hand, uses a proprietary Tesla connector that is only compatible with Tesla vehicles. This means the Solterra cannot physically plug into a Tesla Supercharger station.
Additionally, Tesla has not opened up its Supercharger network to other automakers' vehicles. Tesla Superchargers are exclusively for Tesla owners and are not accessible to non-Tesla electric vehicles. This policy is part of Tesla's strategy to maintain a competitive advantage and encourage customers to purchase Tesla vehicles.
Charging Options for the 2024 Solterra
- The Solterra can be charged using standard Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 (240V) charging stations, which are widely available at homes, workplaces, and public locations.
- Subaru has partnered with ChargePoint to provide a network of public charging stations that Solterra owners can use.
- The Solterra also supports DC fast charging, which can provide an 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes, but it will not be able to use Tesla's Supercharger network for this.
While the Solterra cannot access Tesla's Supercharger network, Subaru has designed the vehicle to provide a convenient and reliable charging experience for its owners through other charging options.
