Tesla opens up Superchargers in Enfield and Athenry to non-Teslas

Published on 21 December, 2023

Non Tesla owners can access them via the Tesla app

Overview

Tesla has announced it is opening some of its Supercharger network to Non-Tesla vehicles. Launched in November 2021, the Non-Tesla Supercharger programme is expanding to Ireland in support of Tesla’s mission to accelerate the Irish transition to sustainable energy. Today, selected stations in Ireland are being opened to non-Tesla owners in Athenry and Enfield.

The two locations are part of a wider network of 50 Supercharger stalls across 9 locations in Ireland. Superchargers are designed and built by Tesla, charging up to 275km in 15 minutes rather than hours. Since the beginning of 2023, Tesla owners have Supercharged over 11 million kilometres in Ireland, offsetting 2.4 million kilograms of CO2.  

Access to an extensive, convenient and reliable fast-charging network is critical for large-scale EV adoption. Since opening the first Superchargers in 2012 Tesla have been committed to rapid expansion of the network.  

Since 2014, Tesla has planned to open up the Supercharger network in tandem with its mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. 

Tesla Superchargers offers a plug-and-play solution with no card readers or payment terminals required for Tesla owners who can simply plug their car to start charging. For Non-Tesla vehicles, charging and payment is handled within the Tesla app.
