Tesla has opened the first Supercharging stations in Iceland to non-Tesla electric cars as part of a pilot program. Tesla’s Supercharger network in Iceland now covers the entire island.
Of course, Tesla has not yet expanded the program to regions like North America, where it needs a new type of adapter so that non-Tesla electric cars can charge on the Supercharger network.
In November 2021, Tesla ran a pilot program at 10 Supercharger stations in the Netherlands, allowing non-Tesla electric car owners to charge using Tesla charging pads.
In January, Tesla announced it would expand to more areas in Norway and France. A month later, the program was expanded to all Superchargers in the Netherlands. A few weeks later, Tesla expanded the pilot program again, this time to include a number of Superchargers in the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Austria.
In May, the automaker added Spain and the United Kingdom to the program. Tesla then expanded the program again to Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland. A month later, Tesla opened the pilot program to most European countries.
When the new pilot program was previously announced, Tesla said it would slowly expand the program to test it more broadly, both with non-Tesla EV owners new to the network and with existing Tesla owners who experience more traffic at Tesla charging stations.
Today, Tesla announced that it will expand its Supercharging pilot program for non-Tesla electric vehicles to most Supercharging stations in Iceland.
