What about Tesla chargers?

If you drive a Tesla, the number of destination and super chargers specifically for Tesla drivers is growing rapidly and can be found throughout Europe (and certainly in all the following countries). Teslas can charge from other networks too.

Tesla destination chargers with a white rather than red sign on the charger allow access to other vehicle makes with a ‘Type 2’ connector.  You’ll generally find Tesla chargers at hotels, restaurants, service areas and shopping centres as well as superchargers at motorway service areas and of course, Tesla dealers.

Europe-wide charging networks

There are at least three international networks: Plug Surfing, New Motion, and Chargemap which offer access to chargers in several European countries.

All offer access to a range of operators using an RFID ‘charge key’ or card or App with payment via Pay Pal or credit or debit card at the point of use. Most accessible chargers are in France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Regional or national networks

This list of providers isn’t exhaustive but we’ve tried to include most of the more widely used aggregators each of which covers a range of operators. Most chargers will have a telephone help line number in case of difficulty and operators can usually connect a charger for you remotely.
