From the fourth quarter of 2026, Volvo owners in 29 European countries will be able to charge at Tesla Superchargers directly through the Volvo app, without switching platforms.
Volvo drivers across Europe are set to gain access to one of the world’s most extensive fast-charging networks before the end of the year.
From the fourth quarter of 2026, owners of a Volvo electric vehicle will be able to find, navigate to and pay for a charge at Tesla Superchargers directly through the Volvo app.
The rollout covers 29 European countries and more than 20,000 charging stations.
According to Electrek
One app, one network
What is new about this partnership is not that Volvo electric vehicles can physically charge at Tesla Superchargers.
That has been possible for some time already. What is new is that everything is now brought together in a single app: the Volvo app handles search, navigation and payment, without the driver ever needing to switch to Tesla’s own platform.
Alejandro Castro Pérez, Head of Energy Solutions at Volvo Cars, describes it as a natural extension. “Volvo drivers already have access to over three million charging points globally through the Volvo App.”
With access to Tesla’s network, one of Europe’s most reliable fast-charging networks is now added to that list.
Which models and countries are included
All of Volvo’s current electric vehicle models are covered by the agreement, including the EX30, EX40, EC40, EX60, EX90 and ES90.
Volvo states that it will announce the precise timing for each model across individual markets at a later date.
The 29 countries span a wide area and include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain, along with a number of other European countries.
The largest concentration of Supercharger stations will naturally be found in the bigger markets.
A push toward full electrification
Volvo emphasised in connection with the announcement that its goal is to make charging as seamless as possible. “As we accelerate towards full electrification, our goal is to make charging simple and effortless, through a seamless ecosystem,” said Pérez.
The company also has plans to transition several models in Japan, South Korea and other key markets across the Asia-Pacific region to the NACS standard by 2029.
That points to an ambitious international charging strategy that extends well beyond the European agreement.
