This week, Tesla considerably expanded its Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program in Australia, which can enhance entry to dependable quick charging infrastructure for all EV customers.

Within the case of Australia, the primary 5 Supercharging stations (all in New South Wales) have been included within the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot in February. As of right this moment, we counted roughly 30 areas, which seems to be greater than half of all Supercharging websites within the nation.

As we will see beneath, the publicly accessible Superchargers are positioned alongside the shoreline, as a result of that is the place most people reside and the place the primary routes are positioned.

In Australia, the opening of the Supercharging community is pretty simple (identical to in Europe), as a result of there isn’t any compatibility problem. Each Tesla automobiles and Superchargers, in addition to non-Tesla EVs, are outfitted with CCS2 charging connector.

Non-Tesla EV drivers can merely use the Tesla app to start out a charging session at a choose Supercharging stall included in this system.

In North America, at present, there’s a necessity to make use of CCS1 built-in adapters (Magic Docks). To this point, the corporate put in Magic Docks at a small variety of Supercharging websites in the USA and most lately in Canada.

Sooner or later, we would see extra Magic Docks at new Supercharging stations in North America (to make sure entry to public funds), however in the end – beginning in 2025 – the corporate will deal with NACS charging plugs, as the remainder of the EV business is switching from CCS1 to NACS.

Due to that, the primary problem to unravel might be to put in charging dispensers with an extended cable (V4 sort) to succeed in the charging inlets on all EVs.
