Tesla said Monday that non-Tesla owners can charge their electric vehicles at all Supercharger stations in the Netherlands.
The announcement marks an expansion of a pilot program that kicked off in November 2021 with 10 stations. CEO Elon Musk had initially expressed interest in opening up the Supercharger network to other EVs in the summer of the same year.
Unlike other automakers, Tesla operates an expansive proprietary network that has previously prevented EVs from other automakers from using the chargers. The network, which Tesla began building in 2012, now numbers 30,000 Supercharging stations globally.

The Netherlands: what is Almere doing to capture investments like Tesla, which just opened plant in Tilburg ?
Tesla Motors which
recently won the car of the year award opened an assembly plant in
Tilburg, Netherlands, and delivered the first Tesla Model S vehicles to
customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany.
The 18,900 square meter facility will not produce the Model S from scratch; instead, it will receive the vehicles for final assembly and send them on their way across the continent.
To mark the occasion, first buyers from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany showed up at the opening to receive their cars.
The car company chose Tilburg because of is proximity to the port of Rotterdam, as well as the high quality and availability of transportation options there.
"This location is pivotal to Tesla's European operations, which are expanding rapidly over the coming months with openings of around 15 new stores and service centres," Bryan Batista, Tesla's EU sales director, said in a statement.
The question which obviously arises is what has Almere done to capture investments which create jobs like Tilburg seems to be able to do? So far, it seems, not much.
