Volvo drivers will be able to access more than 20,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across Europe from the fourth quarter of 2026.

The move gives the drivers access to Tesla Superchargers in 29 European countries, with the majority located in key markets such as Germany, France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Spain.  

Volvo Cars is also planning to transition selected models to the North American Charging System in key Asia-Pacific markets, namely Japan and South Korea, by 2029.

This will give access to the Tesla Supercharger network for Volvo drivers in those markets in the future. 

At present, electric Volvo drivers can use the Volvo Cars app at 120,000 charging points in North America, including Tesla Superchargers, as well as more than 1.2 million charging points across Europe.  

Volvo Cars said its approach to charging was “to make life with electric cars even easier than it is today by making public charging more unified and reliable around the world”.

This policy included supporting market drivers toward charging standardisation and interoperability, particularly in markets where joint efforts can make public charging simpler for more drivers, it added.

Alejandro Castro Pérez, Head of Energy Solutions at Volvo Cars, said:

“Volvo drivers already have access to over three million charging points globally through the Volvo app.

“Adding Tesla Superchargers in Europe means they now have even easier access to one of the most recognised fast charging networks. As we accelerate towards full electrification, our goal is to make charging simple and effortless, through a seamless ecosystem.”
