Tesla has agreed to open up for public use 3,500 new and existing superchargers across the US by the end of 2024, in addition to 4,000 Level 2 charging docks. EV owners will be able use the Tesla app or website to access the chargers. 

Tesla has more than 40,000 superchargers around the globe. The company began opening up its charging network to non-Tesla drivers in 2021 in Europe.
