Tesla added charge card payment for its Superchargers in Europe. You can now add employer and leasing company charge cards in the Tesla app as payment. Currently, 34 cards are accepted. Tesla said 40 or more will be ready soon.
Many people in Europe drive Teslas that are owned by their employer or by a leasing company. These companies often give them a charge card to use for work trips. Drivers wanted Tesla to take these cards. Using the cards inside the app makes billing and tax paperwork easier. Max de Zegher (Director – Charging), said this on social media, “Most European Tesla owners receive EV charge cards from their employer or leasing company. European customers have been requesting that @TeslaCharging accept them as a payment method in the Tesla App, simplifying their internal billing, tax accounting, and reimbursement when using Superchargers.”
Europe sees a lot of salary sacrifice and leasing programs. Most new EVs in Europe are leased, not privately bought. Company charge cards make billing and tax work easier for drivers and their business.
How the new system works
You open the Tesla app and add your charge card to your payment methods. You can either scan the card or enter the number. When the provider approves it, you can start using it at Superchargers. You do not need a regular credit or debit card if the charge card is authorized.

Tesla says it is still better to use credit or debit cards, because some charge card providers may add extra fees. Still, for employees who must use charge cards for work, this is a big improvement.
Charge card providers now onboard
Several major card companies now support Tesla charging. WEX just announced its card can be used for Tesla charging at 20,000+ Supercharger spots in over 1,500 European locations. DKV Mobility, a leading fleet card in Europe, is also compatible and lets customers charge at more than 18,000 Tesla Superchargers.
Shell Recharge, Plugsurfing, Chargemap Pass, and other cards give people access to thousands of charging locations across Europe. You need to check your app if your card is one of those supported.
More fleets will use Tesla’s network because of this update. Both Tesla and non-Tesla cars can charge at Tesla Superchargers now, though non-Teslas may need the app or key card to start a session.
Most Tesla V4 Superchargers in Europe now have card readers too, if they do not want to use the app.
Also with MultiPass, people can pay for charging at some third-party locations right from the Tesla app. You can find this in Netherlands, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, and the UK.
Tesla’s expansion in Europe
Tesla is adding new Supercharger stations in more cities and remote places. In 2025, Tesla said it would open one thousand more stalls, with new spots in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, and Eastern Europe. Tesla is updating older stations with faster V4 technology and longer cables to work with any car.
V4 Superchargers charge faster than older ones, up to 350 kW. Charging time for a Tesla Model 3 or Y is cut by about a third. Even non-Tesla EVs can use most of the network if they have the right plug.
Standard charging rates in Europe range from €0.41 to €0.50 per kWh for non-Teslas. Tesla owners usually pay less, especially with a subscription. Some charge cards might add their own fees to these rates.
Tesla said it will soon make even more charge cards work with its network. With MultiPass, new Supercharger locations, V4 technology, and easier ways to pay, Tesla is making charging simpler for both private owners and company drivers in Europe.
