There are more details out on how Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) soon may open its Supercharger network in the U.S. to non-Tesla owners.
Electrek reported that the electric vehicle maker is working on opening up new Supercharger memberships for non-Tesla EV owners before the the end of the year. Crucially, opening up the network is a requirement to access federal funds earmarked to accelerate the deployment of EV charging stations. Recent regulatory filings and other documents indicate Tesla (TSLA) is applying for public funding, which could be used to add CCS connectors to existing Supercharger stations.
Earlier this week, a screenshot from a brief test window when non-Tesla owners could sign up for the Supercharger network indicated that there is a pay per use and a flat pay by the month option.
What to watch: Tesla (TSLA) owners have reportedly faced crowded Supercharger stations in parts of California as the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to increase. Opening up stations to non-Tesla EV owners could worsen the issue if the Supercharger station upgrades and deployments don't keep up.
