The Authorities of Canada has supplied an replace on EV charging infrastructure within the nation (practically 3,000 new chargers will likely be put in throughout Ontario), revealing that Tesla goes to open a part of its Supercharging community to non-Tesla automobiles in 2023.

In line with the press launch, the primary stations – between Sudbury and Ottawa –  will likely be opened later this 12 months.

“As a part of this collaborative effort, Tesla will open a portion of its current Canadian Supercharger community to non-Tesla electrical automobiles, wherever web site hosts permit. Later this 12 months, an open Supercharging route will likely be piloted for EV drivers between Sudbury and Ottawa.”

The Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program is anticipated to broaden steadily throughout Canada (together with the Trans-Canada Freeway from Ottawa to Calgary) and inside a couple of years embrace lots of of charging stalls.

The official information is about 750 “charging connectors” (particular person stalls), which ought to be prepared for non-Tesla EVs by the top of 2025. At the least 350 of these stalls will supply as much as 250 kilowatts (kW) of energy (V3 degree).

The precise variety of stations was not supplied, however we guess that it is going to be an order of magnitude decrease.

“Then, by the top of 2025, 750 charging connectors in public places will likely be made accessible to non-Tesla EV drivers, by way of a mix of retrofits and new building, of which a minimum of 350 will likely be 250kW Superchargers. The open chargers will likely be distributed throughout Canada, and the route will embrace the Trans-Canada Freeway from Ottawa to Calgary.”

Apparently, Tesla stays silent concerning the venture, and all the data comes from the Canadian authorities.

That is for positive superb information for many who want to use the Tesla Supercharging community for non-Tesla electrical automobiles in Canada.

The pilot in the USA is already underway (initially in New York and California). It was not too long ago launched additionally in Australia and China. In Europe, the non-Tesla pilot was launched in 2021, and since then expanded to fifteen markets.

In Canada (identical to within the US), Tesla must retrofit its current Supercharging stalls with the Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapter, which permits utilizing the Tesla’s North American Charging Customary (NACS) plug or the plug with connected CCS1 adapter for non-Tesla EVs.

The Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program:

Sooner or later, Tesla is anticipated to modify from V3 to V4 Supercharging stalls globally. Installations in Europe are underway. The V4 Superchargers are reportedly coming additionally to the US and can deliver an influence enhance to 350 kilowatts.

It is value noting that Ford yesterday introduced a significant shift in North America to Tesla’s NACS commonplace, beginning with new fashions in 2025. Which means the Magic Dock is not going to be wanted for these new automobiles.

Ford’s transfer, mixed with the final opening of the Tesla Supercharging community, may launch an avalanche and produce much more manufacturers on board in North America. In fact, Europe and lots of different markets will persist with the CCS2.
