Elon Musk's announcement

The company's Supercharger network is split between select countries in North America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The company's strategy went against the solutions taken by other electric car makers, who chose to form alliances or invest in energy startups so that they could set up their charging networks.

Last Tuesday (20), through Twitter, the CEO stated that his company's charger network will be open to electric cars from other brands later this year. The billionaire did not go into detail about which will be the first market to receive the chargers, but assured that the network will be expanded worldwide.

Tesla tries to please governments

The possibility that electric cars from other competing brands use Tesla's charger network is already a subject commented on in markets where the company operates. Take, for example, Germany, where Transport and Digital Infrastructure Minister Andreas Scheuer claimed in June that he was trying to convince the company to open up its network of chargers to its competitors.

In the US, no express request was made for Tesla to open its network to other electric cars. However, at the end of last month, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, announced a calculated plan in the infrastructure sector, which includes an investment worth US$ 7,5 billion in electric car infrastructure, including charging points.

The arrival of better charging infrastructure for electric cars in the United States could give Americans more confidence to buy EVs, which could give General Motors and Ford a much-needed boost in the race against Tesla for leadership in this sector of the auto market. .
