Tesla Supercharger — Europe coverage, V4 stalls, non-Tesla access

Tesla operates one of Europe's largest single-operator HPC networks. Since the 2022 'Open to Other EVs' programme launched in the Netherlands, most European Supercharger sites have been opened to non-Tesla CCS cars — and the V4 generation of stalls, rolling out from 2023, is built around that from day one with a longer cable, a built-in card reader and explicit non-Tesla pricing in the Tesla app.

On Plugsquare, the Tesla brand card groups every Tesla legal entity we see across data feeds — Tesla Czech Republic s.r.o., Tesla Italia Srl., Tesla Motors Austria GmbH, Tesla Energy d.o.o., Tesla Spain SLU, and the 'Tesla (including non-Tesla)' label some open-data feeds use for opened sites — into one operator. So whatever variant the publisher emits, you get a single Tesla card in the legend with the full per-country site count.

Where Tesla Supercharger operates in Europe

Tesla Supercharger has meaningful coverage in every country where Tesla sells cars: Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovenia, Croatia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, plus the UK and Ireland. The network skews toward the spine motorways and major-city interstitials — the Madrid → Barcelona, Paris → Lyon → Marseille, Hamburg → Frankfurt → Munich, Milan → Rome routes all have multiple Tesla sites with overlapping coverage.

The 'Open to Other EVs' rollout — i.e. which sites accept non-Tesla CCS cars — has been more or less complete across western Europe since 2023. Some smaller-volume sites still show 'Tesla-only' in the Tesla app; the rest accept any CCS car with the standard non-Tesla pricing visible in the app before you plug in.

V4 vs. V3 stalls — what changes for non-Tesla cars

V3 Superchargers (the dominant generation across Europe up to 2023) are designed around a Tesla port on the rear-left of the car. The CCS cable is short, so a non-Tesla with the port elsewhere (front, rear-right, side) often needs to park across two stalls — and many sites use bollards to discourage that, leading to awkward orientations.

V4 stalls (rolling out 2023 onwards) have a longer cable that reaches any port without acrobatics, plus a built-in contactless card reader so non-Tesla drivers can pay without the Tesla app. V4 sites typically advertise higher peak power (250 kW+ per stall, with a 350 kW future-proofed roadmap). Mixed sites — V3 and V4 in the same parking lot — are increasingly common.

Pricing — Tesla app, membership, non-Tesla tariffs

Non-Tesla drivers pay through the Tesla app. There are two tariffs: a 'pay-as-you-go' rate and a cheaper 'membership' rate at a small monthly fee. The break-even point is around 200–300 kWh/month at Supercharger sites; for occasional long-distance drivers, the pay-as-you-go rate is fine. Pricing is shown per-site before you start the session — Tesla varies prices by location and (in some countries) by time of day.

Roaming via Plugsurfing, Chargemap or other EMSPs is not generally available at Superchargers — Tesla wants the direct billing relationship through its app. The exception is a small set of sites that have opened to roaming networks; those show in the roaming partner's app at a roaming markup.

Alternatives and roaming

On most cross-European long-distance routes you'll see Tesla, Ionity, EnBW (in Germany / Austria) and Allego or Fastned (in north-west Europe) at the same major service areas. Tesla's pricing is usually competitive with those alternatives; Ionity Passport subscribers and EnBW mobility+ users sometimes get cheaper per-kWh rates at their primary network than at Tesla pay-as-you-go.

If you've taken delivery of a recent Tesla, you can still use the same app to pay for non-Tesla networks via Tesla's roaming partners — but that's a smaller use case than the reverse. For most non-Tesla drivers the practical workflow is: Tesla app for Supercharger, plus one of EnBW mobility+, Maingau Auto-Strom, Plugsurfing or Chargemap as the primary roaming card for everything else.
