Tesla has been working hard to make its Supercharger network available to non-Tesla electric vehicles in North America. Recently, the first Tesla Supercharger station with a “Magic Dock” to allow non-Tesla electric cars to charge has been spotted in the US. The Magic Dock is a receiver for the Tesla charge connector on the Supercharger station. When the Magic Dock is locked, the station can be used normally by any Tesla owner, but when it is unlocked through Tesla’s app, both the charger and the Magic Dock get pulled along with the Tesla Supercharger handle to become a CCS adapter – allowing it to be plugged into most electric vehicles.
The Supercharger is located in upstate New York – not too far from Buffalo, where Tesla is operating Gigafactory New York – a location used to build Supercharger stations, among other things. Last week, Tesla and the White House have confirmed that the automaker will soon start to open “select” Supercharger stations to non-Tesla EV owners in the US and plans to double the size of its network to make 7,500 Superchargers available to all EVs by the end of 2024.
This move by Tesla is a major step forward in making electric vehicles more accessible and convenient for all drivers. With the Magic Dock, Tesla is making it easier for drivers of non-Tesla electric vehicles to access charging stations and take advantage of the benefits of electric vehicles. This could be a game changer for the electric vehicle industry and could help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in North America.
