Are Chinese EVs compatible with Tesla Superchargers in Europe?
Tesla has progressively opened its European Supercharger network to non-Tesla vehicles under the Non-Tesla Supercharging (NTS) programme.
How it works
Download the Tesla app, add your Chinese EV as a Non-Tesla vehicle, add a payment method, tap 'Charge Your Non-Tesla' at an open Supercharger.
Cable reach is short (designed for Tesla port placement) — you may need to park diagonally on some V3 stalls.
Which chargers are open
Almost all V3 and V4 Superchargers in EU/UK are open to non-Tesla. V2 sites are typically Tesla-only.
Check the Tesla app map filter 'Open to non-Tesla vehicles'.
Cost
Roughly 20–30% more expensive than Tesla owners pay, unless you take the Supercharging Membership subscription (~€12/month) which lowers the per-kWh rate.
