Tesla Supercharger membership for non-Tesla electric vehicle (EV) owners debuts in the United States, announcing its monthly pricing.
The latest move of Tesla follows the recent announcement of none other than the White House back in July, stating that the Supercharger network is opening to non-Tesla cars in the US.
Tesla Supercharger Membership for Non-Tesla EV Owners
As per the latest news story by Tesla North, the giant EV maker owned by the ultra-rich entrepreneur, Elon Musk, launched its new Supercharger memberships, which welcome non-Tesla vehicles.
The new Supercharger membership of Tesla offers two plans.
The first one allows users to only pay wherever they top up the batteries of their vehicles at the wide Supercharger network of the American EV maker.
On the other hand, the new membership service requires users to pay a monthly fee to gain access to the Supercharger network in the US. And on top of that, it also offers lower pricing per kilowatt hour (kWh) compared to the "Pay Per Use" route.
New Supercharger Membership: Here's How Much is it Priced
The official mobile app of the EV maker, which brought us various all-electric cars, such as the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, confirms the monthly pricing of its Supercharger membership.
The app says that the monthly subscription fee to gain access to the Supercharger network costs nearly a dollar or $0.99, to be more exact.
While the Supercharger Membership is mandatory for Tesla account holders, it is also open for owners of other EV brands like Volkswagen and Ford.
All that said, if you needed to charge the battery of your non-Tesla EV, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, you may do so at lower kWh pricing via the Supercharger membership.
Tesla North notes in the same report that the pricing of the Supercharger membership is significantly cheaper than the costs of other charging networks in the US.
It is worth noting that the membership to access the charging network of Electrify America sells to the tune of $4 per month.
Non-Tesla Supercharger Program
According to a recent report by The Verge, the White House previously revealed that the Musk-led automaker is working to open up its Supercharger stations to more non-Tesla EV owners.
The White House memo published last July states that Tesla is opening up its Supercharger network to owners of other EV brands in the US sometime in late 2022.
