According to Tesla, there are currently 153 supercharger locations in Germany, which means that Germany has the largest fast charging network in Europe. Since November 2021, owners of other e-car brands have also been able to use Tesla’s fast charging stations. According to the AUTO BILD news portal, half of all German superchargers are now also approved for third-party vehicles, and 69 stations in Germany with over 500 charging stations are open to all e-cars with a CCS fast charging connection. Third-party vehicle owners can use the Tesla app to access Supercharger charging stations. In the future, the selection of Tesla Supercharger columns for third-party vehicles is likely to be further increased: “(…) we would like to be able to welcome both Tesla and third-party drivers at every Supercharger worldwide in the future,” said Tesla in a press release.
Prices vary by price and location
The Supercharger charging stations are very attractive for the owners of electric cars. The charging stations use high-voltage direct current technology, which enables the vehicle to be charged quickly and efficiently. With superchargers, e-cars can absorb enough energy for long distances within a short time, which is particularly advantageous for longer journeys or journeys. Prices per kWh vary depending on the time of day and location. Prices are highest during the coveted high phase between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. At the Frankfurt-Eschborn location, third-party car owners pay prices from 66 cents per kWh, at the Nossen location in Saxony, owners pay prices from 63 cents a little less, according to AUTO BILD. For third-party car owners, the price is higher than for Tesla owners. However, third-party car owners can purchase a Supercharger subscription, which guarantees the same charging price as Tesla owners.
As with other e-cars, the charging speed of Tesla’s charging stations depends on the model and charging technology. While a Model S vehicle can be charged for up to 200 miles in 15 minutes, Model Y models can only be charged for a range of 150 miles in 15 minutes.
