Tesla Supercharger

Everything you need to know about the Tesla supercharger

Written by Sjoerd Kortekaas

Tesla Supercharger network is now available to all E-Flux drivers. Charge at 20,000+ Superchargers across 1,500+ European locations with your E-Flux app. The network is open to any EV car brand.

How it works

  • Tesla drivers can add their E-Flux charge card as a payment method in the Tesla app, then simply plug in, the session starts and bills automatically.

  • Non-Tesla EV drivers can start sessions remotely at open Superchargers from their E-Flux app.

During a session: Tesla applies dynamic pricing, including congestion and idle fees. When using Plug and Charge (via Tesla app) the Tesla app proactively notifies drivers about imminent fees. The congestion fee encourages drivers to charge only as much as is needed for their trip, rather than all the way to 100%. This increases the availability of Superchargers so that everyone has access when they need it. When using remote start via E-Flux app the notification is sent via E-Flux app (drivers need to have notifications enabled).

FAQ

Which EV vehicles can charge at the Tesla Supercharger network?
Any EV vehicle with a CCS2 connector can charge at an open Supercharger. Tesla vehicles can additionally plug in and charge automatically. Please note that the Type 2 (Mennekes) connector is not compatible with Tesla Superchargers.

Do I need an adapter?
No. If your vehicle has a CCS2 connector, you will be able to charge at Tesla Superchargers in Europe.

Why can't I charge at a particular Supercharger?
If that happens, this site is not open to non-Tesla vehicles. Open sites show in the Tesla app and in the E-Flux app.

Can I charge with E-Flux at any Tesla charger?

You can charge at the Tesla Superchargers, a fast DC charging network.

Tesla Destination Chargers, which are AC wall connectors that you can sometimes find at hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers, are not part of the current E-Flux roaming offering.

Can I pay with an E-Flux RFID card (plastic card)?

Drivers can use The E-Flux app or register their E-Flux charge card in the Tesla app. An increasing number of sites are equipped with RFID readers.

How am I billed?
The session runs on your E-Flux charge card alongside your other charging. No separate payment is required.

I added my card but it is not active.
Check that you followed the confirmation link in the verification email within the validation window. If it has expired, restart the add-card flow.

What is a congestion fee and how do I avoid it?
When a Supercharger site is busy and the vehicle has passed 80% battery charge, Tesla applies a per-minute congestion fee to free up stalls. This increases the availability of Superchargers so that everyone has access when they need it. Both the Tesla and the E-Flux app notify the driver when this is about to apply so they can unplug in time (drivers need to have notifications enabled).
