For years, it was assumed that concerns about the charging network were the sole reason why Tesla was seeing such runaway success. After all, Tesla had successfully convinced its customers that its cars and charging network came with almost no compromisesthat they could be used just like gas vehicles. And if other EVs couldn't offer the same experience, they were essentially destined to fail.

Owners of Audi and Porsche electric cars in the United States and Canada will gain access to the Tesla Supercharger network of DC fast chargers tomorrow. The move comes as more and more automakers have struck deals with Tesla to use its expansive network, which now has over 23,500 stalls open to non-Tesla EVs and over 35,000 stalls in total.

Leaving aside the fact that you'll need an NACS to CCS1 adapter, the Supercharger cable might not reach the charge port many popular EVs, including the Chevy Blazer EV and the aforementioned trucks. The most popular stall version, known as V3, was designed for Tesla EVs, which have the charge port on the rear left, while many American electric pickups and SUVs have their ports on the front left side.

The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric crossovers gained access to the Tesla Supercharger network, allowing owners to recharge at over 23,500 Superchargers.
