A memo from the White House states Tesla's Supercharger network will open to non-Tesla electric vehicles.

"Later this year, Tesla will begin production of new Supercharger equipment that will enable non-Tesla EV drivers in North America to use Tesla Superchargers," according to the memo.

In the U.S., there are over 1,400 Supercharger stations located in all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. The memo did not mention how much Tesla will invest in adapting its fast-charging network to non-Tesla EVs, though it stated:

"Tesla is expanding production capacity of power electronics components that convert alternating current to direct current, charging cabinets, posts and cables."

Tesla's vehicles use a "proprietary connector," meaning the charging cord isn't compatible with non-Tesla EVs. It's unclear how Tesla plans to open the Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs, but Elon Musk previously spoke about offering adapters.

Besides charging adaptors, non-Tesla EVs will likely have to download Tesla's smartphone app to access the Supercharger network and pay for a charge.

If the government is using tax dollars to build charging station, then they are simply not economically viable. If they were, private companies would be rushing to build them.

Spend $70,000 for a electric car and thousands for home charger and worry if you can get to your destination and maybe burn up along the way when you charge at home if you will burn down the house.
Plus the vehicle weight is higher and will wear your tires down quicker.

Meanwhile you can buy a gas car that is far far cheaper.

They say that one of the country's newest sports is to vandalize charging stations in order to steal the copper wiring.
