Can non-Tesla EVs use Tesla charging stations

Yes, non-Tesla cars can use Tesla public chargers

Tesla Australia uses the more universal CCS plugs, unlike the propriety plugs Tesla uses globally. The supercharger network has also been configured to grant other vehicle makes access. This means that yes, non-Tesla cars can use Tesla public chargers.

Exceptions:
  • Not all EVs use the CCS plug type, including the Nissan Leaf and some PHEVs.
  • Not all Tesla Supercharger locations allow non-Tesla charging. For participating locations information, see the Tesla website.

How to charge:

You will need to download the Tesla app, create an account and add a payment method.

Once created, you can charge by following these steps:

  • Open the app and tap 'Charge Your Non-Tesla'
  • Select the Supercharger site you're at
  • Find an available charger and plug your car in
  • In the app, tap 'Start Charging' to start, then 'Stop Charging' to end
