One of the more unheralded but crucial aspects behind Tesla's meteoric success has been its aggressive rollout of Superchargers across the world. Say what you will about Elon Musk, but the mercurial Tesla CEO knew from the very beginning that a compelling electric car would need to be accompanied by a sufficient number of charging stations spread out across strategic locations. It is easy to forget, after all, that range anxiety used to be a very real sticking point for potential Tesla buyers.
A few months ago, Musk said that Tesla would be opening up its Supercharger network to other EV vehicles. Musk, at the time, didn't provide a specific timeline but did mention it was on track to happen in late 2021. Musk, of course, has a bad habit of making ambitious promises that go unfulfilled, but this is not one of those instances. This week, Tesla is embarking on a pilot program in the Netherlands whereby other EV cars will be able to charge up at Supercharger stations.
