Tesla is making it easier for owners to charge at stations outside its Supercharger network. The company has officially launched MultiPass, a new service that lets Tesla drivers pay for and manage charging sessions at third-party fast chargers using their Tesla app or vehicle key card.
How It Works
Tesla owners in the Netherlands, the first market to get MultiPass, can now use a compatible non-Tesla charger by tapping their Tesla key card or activating a session directly in the Tesla app. Payments are processed through the same account used for Supercharger sessions, removing the need for extra accounts, cards, or apps from other networks. Charging history also appears alongside Supercharger activity in the Tesla app, giving owners a single place to manage all their charging.
Max de Zegher, Tesla’s Director of Charging for North America, wrote on X, “Starting in the Netherlands today, your Tesla app and your existing Tesla key card can start charging at third-party chargers. We will expand this to more countries quickly if customers love it.”
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…

Why It Matters
Until now, Tesla owners often needed separate memberships or cards to access third-party chargers. MultiPass removes that barrier and creates a roaming solution similar to how mobile phone networks share access. The move comes as Tesla continues opening its Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs, including models from Audi and Porsche, while expanding its app as a central hub for charging.
There are still some differences. Non-Tesla stations will not offer Tesla-exclusive features such as automatic battery preconditioning or the upcoming virtual queuing system at Superchargers. Even so, the added convenience of using one app and account for nearly any charging session is a significant step forward for Tesla drivers.
What’s Next
Tesla has not shared a timeline for when MultiPass will arrive in the United States, although the company confirmed that more countries and sites are on the way. In Europe, where public charging is more fragmented, the feature could quickly gain traction.
For now, MultiPass gives Tesla owners more flexibility, especially on long road trips where a Supercharger may not always be nearby. It is one more sign that Tesla wants its ecosystem of hardware, software, and payment to remain at the center of the EV charging experience, no matter whose charger you use.
