Tesla MultiPass Allows Seamless Charging at Third-Party EV Stations in the Netherlands

Tesla has unveiled a new feature called MultiPass, giving owners the ability to charge at non-Tesla stations using their existing Tesla account. The program eliminates the need for third-party charging cards, multiple apps, or separate payment setups, making the Tesla ownership experience even more seamless.

Starting today in the Netherlands, Tesla drivers can activate charging sessions at third-party stations with just their Tesla key card or the Tesla app. Owners can now locate charging sites, begin a session, and track their charging history all within the Tesla ecosystem.

This integration removes a common pain point for EV drivers who often juggle different accounts, RFID cards, or apps just to access public charging.

With this new system, the Tesla app and key card act as universal access tools, meaning drivers won’t need to wait for mailed membership cards or deal with additional sign-ups.

Tesla emphasizes that simplicity was a core design principle behind MultiPass. “Nobody likes creating more accounts with extra payment details and passwords,” Director of Charging for North America at Tesla Max De Zegher explained.

The Netherlands was chosen as the pilot country due to its mature EV market and dense charging infrastructure. If the rollout proves successful, Tesla plans to expand MultiPass to other European countries and eventually to North America and beyond.

While no official timeline has been announced, the company hinted at rapid expansion if customer feedback in the Netherlands is positive.

Tesla’s vision is to make the Tesla app a one-stop hub for ownership. The app already allows drivers to control climate settings, schedule service, monitor vehicle health, manage Supercharging, and more. With MultiPass, third-party charging access is seamlessly folded into the same interface.
