The company is expanding its open Supercharger pilot program in Europe to allow non-Tesla EV owners to take advantage of the company's extensive charging network. The pilot is now available in the UK, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, and Austria, as well as select stations in The Netherlands, Norway, and France.

If you travel to a country with the open Superchargers, you can take advantage of the network in Belgium and Germany. German residents are the only ones who can use them outside of their borders, but not domestically.

Non-Tesla vehicles can now charge at select Superchargers in Austria, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and the UK via the Tesla app. Learn more at https://t.co/HZePe24Kbl

Since last year, Musk has been talking about extending the program to the US, but he hasn't provided any details on how it will be implemented. In an interview with the Financial Times last week, Musk said that he was planning to add standardized plugs for other EV's to the US Supercharging stations.

Currently, North American models and Superchargers don't use the CCS2 standard that is used in Europe, and instead rely on the proprietary charging plug. The Nissan Leaf is one of the few North American EV's that uses the CHAdeMO standard.

If you live in one of the pilot countries, you can use theTesla app to find participating stations. You can use the app to monitor Supercharging for both cars. The electricity rates that are shared in the app might lead to additional fees for non-Tesla vehicles.
