Tesla enables charging at non-company stations via MultiPass
New service debuts in the Netherlands with plans for wider rollout.
Tesla has introduced a new MultiPass service to allow its customers to charge at non-company stations using either the Tesla app or their existing key card. The feature, launched this week in the Netherlands, is designed to simplify charging by removing the need for separate accounts, passwords, or third-party charging cards for electric vehicle (EV) drivers.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tesla Charging described MultiPass as a way to find chargers, activate sessions, and track charging history all within the Tesla app. The service also supports authentication with the Tesla key card, offering drivers an additional layer of convenience.
Max de Zegher, Tesla’s Director of Charging for North America, emphasized the goal of eliminating unnecessary friction in EV charging. “Nobody likes creating more accounts with payment details and passwords. For charging, this can even mean needing a third-party charging card mailed to your house. Starting in the Netherlands today, your Tesla App and your existing Tesla keycard can start charging at third-party chargers. We’ll expand this to more countries quickly if customers love it,” he wrote in a post.
Tesla said more sites and countries will be added soon, as the company looks to further integrate charging infrastructure and streamline the ownership experience for EV drivers.
