Tesla’s expanding its MultiPass service throughout Europe, means fewer apps cluttering up your phone. The feature, which started in the Netherlands, now operates in France, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Belgium, according to Tesla’s official channels.
MultiPass lets Tesla owners charge at third-party stations using their vehicle’s key card. There’s no need to download multiple charging network apps or create separate accounts. Instead, drivers can tap their key card at compatible stations and have the charges automatically billed to their Tesla account.
How Tesla’s MultiPass works
Setting up MultiPass takes just a few steps through the Tesla App. Owners navigate to the Message Center, find MultiPass, and tap their vehicle’s key card against their phone’s NFC sensor when prompted. That’s it—activation complete.
Once activated, charging becomes straightforward. Drivers can either tap their key card directly on supported third-party charging stations or initiate sessions remotely through the Tesla App. Billing process mirrors the Supercharger experience: costs get automatically charged to the Tesla account, and each session appears in the app’s charging history.
Tesla Charging announced the expansion via X, noting that MultiPass “is now also available in Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Belgium.” Service provides access to additional charging options beyond Tesla’s proprietary network, particularly valuable for owners without home charging capabilities or those who don’t regularly encounter Superchargers.
Rollout reflects Tesla’s broader strategy toward charging interoperability. While the company has opened Superchargers to non-Tesla vehicles in various markets, MultiPass moves in the opposite direction, simplifying how Tesla owners access third-party infrastructure.
For drivers who’ve juggled multiple charging apps and payment methods, MultiPass consolidates the experience. Key card becomes a universal payment tool, eliminating the friction that’s plagued multi-network charging.
Tesla hasn’t announced specific timelines for additional market expansions, but the quiet rollout suggests more regions could gain access soon. Whether you’ll actually pass on other charging methods remains to be seen.
