The automaker says that the charging stations will need to meet these three criteria over a 60-day period in order to be added:
- Have at least one compatible charging connector
- Be frequently used by Tesla drivers at least once every four days
- Have an average charge success rate of 90% or higher
The stations will be removed from the navigation system automatically if one of the two criteria is met within 14 days:
- No charge sessions detected
- Average charge success rate falls below 70%
As Tesla noted, the new “Qualified Third-Party Charger” program is starting with Europe and Israel, where it is going to have a more significant impact since Tesla vehicles are already equipped with a CCS connector like most third-party charging stations.
