Tesla joined the Gireve roaming platform last spring. That made it possible for electric mobility service providers connected to the Gireve platform to also gain access to Tesla’s Superchargers network. The first platform to utilise this offer was Chargemap with the test run in France.

This offer has now been extended: “Chargemap users can use their Chargemap Pass to access the Supercharger charging network in the majority of European countries,” according to the company. The procedure remains unchanged. As third-parties can still only use Superchargers via the Tesla app, Chargemap customers must also download the latter and create a Tesla account. The Chargemap Pass must then be set up as the primary payment method for charging in the Tesla app settings. “This allows them to view their charging history and invoices in a single area of their Chargemap account – a simple and convenient solution to track consumption and manage their charging budget,” says Chargemap.

To find Tesla Supercharger locations compatible with the Chargemap Pass, the users need to use the Chargemap app and activate the ‘Compatible with Chargemap Pass’ filter. If the user then clicks on ‘Selected networks only’ and selects the Superchargers, the compatible locations will be displayed.

In the press release, Chargemap mentions more than 13,000 freely accessible Supercharger stations in Europe, spread across more than 1,000 locations. That is almost all of the Supercharger locations that Tesla has approved for third-party brands. Only a few stations in Europe are still only accessible to Tesla vehicles.

“Expanding Chargemap’s compatibility with the Tesla Supercharger charging network in Europe is a significant step in our mission to make it easier to get around with electric vehicles across the continent,” explains Yoann Nussbaumer, founder and CEO of Chargemap. “We are delighted to be working with Tesla to make its Superchargers, which are universally recognised for their quality by all EV drivers, even more accessible.”
