Tesla has made a significant move in expanding its charging infrastructure accessibility by opening its entire Supercharger network in Sweden to non-Tesla electric vehicles (EVs), marking the second country to receive full network access. The announcement came via Tesla’s official Charging account on X.
To celebrate this expansion, Tesla is offering a free charging day on Wednesday for all EV owners, regardless of their vehicle brand. When using the Supercharger stations, non-Tesla EV owners will notice a temporary authorization hold of 104 SEK on their bank accounts, which will be removed once charging is complete.
Global Expansion of Supercharger Access
The Netherlands was the first country to receive full Supercharger access for non-Tesla vehicles, following a successful pilot program launched in 2022. While Tesla has also introduced similar access in South Korea and the United States, these locations currently offer only limited availability at select charging stations.
U.S. Market Developments
Tesla’s commitment to opening its charging infrastructure extends to the United States, where the company has announced plans to make all Superchargers accessible to non-Tesla EVs. This initiative has gained significant momentum through Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) partnerships. Currently, Ford, Rivian, General Motors, and Polestar users can access all U.S. Superchargers using an adapter, with more manufacturers expected to join in the coming years.
Nordic EV Leadership
Sweden’s selection for full Supercharger access aligns with the Nordic region’s leadership in EV adoption. The country has maintained an impressive EV market share exceeding 60 percent in the current year. Neighboring Norway continues to lead global EV adoption, achieving a remarkable 96.4 percent market share in September.
Despite ongoing labor disputes in Sweden, Tesla’s Supercharger network continues to expand, and EV sales remain strong in the country, demonstrating the robust demand for electric vehicle infrastructure in the region.
