Have to agree with you. Was at Supercharger a few weeks ago and a nice couple had their brand new BMW EV, and they were complaining that there are not enough charging options for non Tesla EV and all they wanted was access to the supercharger network. Until the UK Govt approve more charger networks, opening the Supercharger network would just create a bottleneck for Tesla owners. Sounds cruel but you pays your money & you takes your choice.
Like with other countries where the network was opened up, they only opened up part of it. Most of it is still Tesla only.
I believe all Netherlands Superchargers are open to all. Hopefully sense will prevail for the UK though…

Tesla opens entire Supercharger network in the Netherlands to all EVs | TechCrunch
Tesla said Monday that non-Tesla owners can charge their electric vehicles at all Supercharger stations in the Netherlands. The announcement marks an

Is France still in the pilot phase? I’m not aware of all of theirs being open to everyone. Is it just the Dutch ones?
What is the price for non-Tesla vs Tesla charging rates? I expect it is higher.
I hope so as well. NL has a very well-established fast charging network from other brands such as Fastned. So having the Superchargers open to all wouldn't have been felt by Tesla owners in the same way it would here.

We've just come back from Scarborough where there is One 50kw rapid for the whole town. There are no other decent options as the 2 7kw at the shopping centre are always taken.
They pay the same prices but do have to pay a monthly subscription to get that

I don’t know what it is. Maybe similar to Ionity at £16.99 per month

Thanks. Really informative. With the 12.99 membership the rates are the same. Without they are 2.5x higher.There are some suggested monthly and kWh costs here…

When you read the article this site links to, it says:
Transport Minister Trudy Harrison confirmed the move, stating: “Tesla recognise that they are part of the solution here” and that the move could come “within weeks and months rather than years”.
There is nothing definitive nor any announcement from Tesla or the "Transport Minister" (which actually should read "Under Secretary"....she's not the Transport Minister). The word "could" is doing quite a lot of heavy lifting here....I think various websites are getting ahead of themselves on this one and generating some nice clickbait headlines in the process.
We just need to wait and see what Tesla announce in due course.

Is there any word on when (and if) non Teslas can use the Tesla supercharger network in the UK?. I’m hoping it’ll be managed carefully if it is to happen
