Elon Musk, making headlines again! In a post on twitter just recently, Mr. Musk announced that Tesla will be opening its massive supercharger network to all other Electric Vehicles. As of now, there have been these Tesla electric “superchargers”, but they have only been accessible by Tesla Drivers. To propose a more convenient alternative for EV’s(Electric Vehicles), Tesla plans to make this supercharger available to ALL electric drivers. 

Musk stated in a tweet on twitter, “We created our own connector, as there was no standard back then and Tesla was only a maker of long range electric cars. It’s one fairly slim connector for both low and high power charging. That said, we’re making our supercharger network open to other EV’s later this year.”

This move is very important and valuable for a number of reasons. Firstly, it will reduce one of the biggest problems faced by EV drivers; range anxiety. In simpler terms, this new supercharger network will assure EV drivers that they don’t need to worry about losing their battery in the middle of a drive. Thanks to Mr. Musk, drivers can now easily charge their cars on long road trips knowing that there are electric chargers on the way. By allowing and introducing this network of chargers to other EV’s, more people will lean towards switching to an Electric-powered car.

Adding on to that, this is a big hint that Tesla & Elon Musk want to promote the mass production and buying of more Ev’s. By supporting other lower end electric vehicle companies, Tesla indicates that they want to promote the future of this way of transportation all together.

However, there are still many questions that need to be answered about how this will work in practice. Will Tesla charge a fee for non-Tesla EVs to use the Superchargers? Will there be long lines and wait times for charging, now that the network is open to a wider range of vehicles? How will Tesla ensure that its own customers are still able to access the Superchargers when they need them?

Despite these unanswered questions, the news has been met with excitement and enthusiasm from EV owners and enthusiasts alike. As the world continues to move towards a more sustainable, electric future, Elon Musk and Tesla are leading the way in making that future a reality. I believe that this move will surely advocate for the higher production and purchase of Electric vehicles. In my eyes, this should be a revolutionary step forward into the future.
