Tesla opening up its Supercharger network for other brands is always great news for the EVs in that area, and it looks like UK EV drivers could take advantage of this very soon. For the UK, Tesla has so far not announced plans of opening the network, but Electrifying has information from UK Transport Minister Trudy Harrison that it could happen “within weeks and months rather than years.”
The news was broken during a drive/interview around London in a Vauxhall Mokka, when the Transport Minister was asked about the state of the UK charging infrastructure and what the strategies are to make it better (video embedded at the start of the article). She does not want to say where the information is from, but she seems certain that it will happen sooner than anyone is expecting.
At first, the Tesla only opened certain stations in the Netherlands for all EVs, then did the same in France and Norway, before finally opening the entire Dutch Supercharger network last month. After opening its Superchargers in the Netherlands, Tesla has not made any announcements about future expansions, either to the UK or any other country.
