Can you charge other vehicles on Tesla supercharger?

Yes—it's possible to charge non-Tesla EVs at many Supercharger locations, but availability varies by region and program. In Europe and several other markets, non-Tesla charging is broadly supported, while in the United States and Canada it is being rolled out gradually and is not yet universal.

Where non-Tesla charging is currently available

Availability depends on local policy and network rollout. The following summarizes the general landscape you’ll encounter today.

• Europe and the United Kingdom: Non-Tesla charging at Superchargers is widely available. Stations use the CCS connector standard, and drivers typically start a session and pay using the Tesla app. Prices vary by country and location, and idle fees may apply if the stall is left occupied after charging completes.


• Other regions with active programs: Several markets in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and select locations worldwide have ongoing pilots or expanded access for non-Tesla drivers, with availability expanding over time. Always verify on the Tesla app or official map for current status at a given station.


• United States and Canada: Access is expanding through a phased rollout and is not yet universal. Some Supercharger sites allow non-Tesla charging, while others remain Tesla-only. Availability, pricing, and start procedures can vary by station and region.

As a practical note, the best source of up-to-date availability is the Tesla official charging map and the Tesla app, which reflect current access, pricing, and station-specific rules.

How it works for non-Tesla drivers

If you’re trying to charge a non-Tesla EV at a Supercharger, you’ll generally follow a similar workflow to Tesla owners, with region-specific variations. Here are the common steps you’ll encounter where supported.

• Open the Tesla app to locate a Supercharger that supports non-Tesla charging in your area and confirm the stall has the appropriate connector (usually CCS in Europe/Many markets).


• Approach the stall, connect your vehicle using the station’s connector or your car’s CCS cable, and initiate the session through the Tesla app where required.


• Authorize payment and start charging. Pricing is typically per kWh or per minute, depending on local regulations, and you may see session details and estimated costs in the app.


• Monitor charging progress, move your vehicle once charging is complete, and be mindful of idle fees if the stall remains occupied after charging ends.

Be aware that not every Supercharger location permits non-Tesla charging, and rules can change. Always verify via the Tesla app or the official charging map for the exact station you plan to use.

What drivers should know about pricing, policies, and compatibility

Pricing and policies

Pricing for non-Tesla charging at Superchargers varies by country and region. In all cases, expect:

• Pricing that may be per kWh or per minute, depending on local regulations and network pricing rules.


• Possible idle fees if the stall remains occupied after charging is complete.


• Payment typically handled through the Tesla app, with session receipts and usage details accessible in-app.

Due to regional differences, it’s wise to review the pricing page in the Tesla app before starting a session and to factor in potential idle-time penalties.

Connector compatibility and adapters

In most European and other regional markets where non-Tesla charging is supported, Superchargers use standard CCS connectors, allowing non-Tesla EVs with CCS ports to plug in directly. In North America, the situation is evolving as the network opens up; availability and compatibility depend on current rollout details, station hardware, and vehicle port standards. Always confirm the connector type at the station and ensure your vehicle is physically compatible or has a supported interface at that location.

Future outlook

The charging ecosystem is shifting as automakers increasingly adopt common standards. A number of major brands are aligning around alternative DC standards and, in some markets, Tesla’s network is being opened more broadly. If your vehicle uses a standard like CCS or a port that Tesla stations support in your region, the path to charging at Superchargers is likely to become more straightforward over time. Always check the latest information in the Tesla app and from official Tesla announcements for the latest policy and station availability.

Summary

Charging other vehicles at Tesla Superchargers is a real option today, but it is region-dependent and time-sensitive. Europe and several other markets have long offered non-Tesla access, while the United States and Canada are expanding access through pilots and phased rollouts. For any given trip, verify station availability, connector compatibility, and pricing through the Tesla app before plugging in. The broader trend toward open access and standardized charging ports is likely to make non-Tesla charging at Superchargers more routine in the coming years.

Can I charge my Toyota at a Tesla charging station?

Yes, many new Toyota electric vehicles (EVs) can use Tesla Superchargers, and existing Toyota owners will be able to with an adapter. Toyota has adopted Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS), and will start including NACS ports in new EVs from 2025 onwards. To charge at a Tesla Supercharger, you will need to use the Toyota app.
 
For newer Toyota EVs

• NACS port: Beginning in 2025, many new Toyota EVs will come with NACS ports, allowing direct connection to the Tesla Supercharger network. 
• Toyota app: You can find compatible stations and pay for charging through the Toyota app. 
• Direct connection: These new models do not require an adapter to use a NACS port. 

For existing Toyota EVs with a CCS port

• Adapter required: For vehicles with the older Combined Charging System (CCS) port, Toyota will offer an adapter starting in 2025. 
• NACS charging network: This adapter will allow you to plug into the Tesla Supercharger network. 
• Payment: You will still use the Toyota app to initiate and pay for the charge. 

What other electric cars can use a Tesla supercharger?

Nearly all EVs from major brands like Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, and Volvo can use Tesla Superchargers, either through an adapter or by adopting the NACS port. Some models, like newer Hyundais and Kias, may have built-in NACS ports, while others will need to use an adapter or wait for future software updates to enable compatibility. Charging is managed through the Tesla app for non-Tesla vehicles.
 
Brands with Tesla Supercharger access
Acura, Audi, Ford, General Motors (GM), Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar-Land Rover, Kia, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Rivian, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. 
How to charge
