In today's Tesla quarterly conference call, Elon Musk laid out how Tesla will allow non Tesla EV owners to charge at their Superchargers. In a nutshell, there will be an app for that.
Using (presumably) the standard Tesla app, you'd create an account with your credit card. Once you arrive at a Supercharger, you'd enter in the location (presumably GPS enabled/aware) and the stall number. The app would then authorize a non Tesla charging session for that stall.
European and Chinese users would be able to plug in without an adapter since Superchargers there use standard European and Chinese standards. North American users would have to pre purchase an adapter to be able to use Tesla superchargers.
Charge rates would vary depending on how busy the site was (cheaper rates when the site is more empty, higher rates during "rush hours").
No word on when this would happen.
