WEX® Supercharges Its European EV Network With Access to 20,000+ Tesla Fast Chargers
WEX, a global commerce platform that helps companies manage and simplify the business of running a business, has taken a major step forward in electric vehicle (EV) charging across Europe. The company has announced a new integration with the Tesla Supercharger network, giving its customers access to more than 20,000 Tesla fast-charging points across over 1,500 locations.
This integration significantly strengthens the WEX EV charging ecosystem and marks an important milestone for fleets and drivers who rely on consistent, high-speed charging infrastructure. In regions where high-power charging has historically been patchy, limited, or costly, WEX customers will now have a much more robust and competitive set of options.
By bringing Tesla’s renowned Supercharger network into its platform, WEX is increasing the availability of high-power charging by around 10%. Many of these chargers deliver speeds up to 250 kW, enabling drivers to get back on the road faster while maintaining predictable and consolidated billing through WEX.
A Unified EV Charging Experience Across Europe
WEX has already built one of the most extensive EV charging networks available through its EV Driver by WEX app. Drivers today use the app to access more than 1 million charging points throughout Europe, spanning a wide variety of operators and countries.
With Tesla Superchargers now integrated, that experience becomes even more seamless and powerful. All the core benefits customers expect from WEX remain intact—and are now extended to one of Europe’s largest fast-charging networks:
- Unified access: Drivers can start charging at Tesla Superchargers using the same WEX tools they already know.
- Real-time price comparison: The EV Driver by WEX app allows users to compare pricing across networks, including Tesla, so they can choose the most cost-effective option nearby.
- Route planning: Drivers and fleet managers can plan optimal routes that incorporate Tesla Supercharger locations along with other compatible charging stations.
- Session tracking and reporting: Every charging session—Tesla and non-Tesla—is tracked in one place, improving cost control and operational visibility.
- Centralized payments: All payments and invoices flow through WEX, simplifying reconciliation and administration for fleets and businesses.
Instead of juggling multiple apps, cards, and invoices, drivers and fleet operators get a consistent, integrated experience across a vast multi-operator charging network that now includes Tesla Superchargers as a core component.
Making Life Easier for Drivers and Fleet Managers
WEX’s integration with Tesla doesn’t just add more dots to the map—it solves real-world pain points that fleets and drivers encounter every day.
Jay Dearborn, WEX’s chief operating officer, International, emphasized these benefits, noting that the initiative is advantageous for both EV drivers and the people who manage large vehicle fleets. With access to one of Europe’s largest fast-charging networks folded into the WEX ecosystem, drivers enjoy smoother journeys, while fleet managers gain greater oversight and control.
For drivers, this means:
- Reliable access to high-speed charging at thousands of strategically placed Tesla Supercharger locations
- Fast-charging capabilities (up to 250 kW) that reduce downtime on the road
- Simple, app-based control over charging sessions without worrying about multiple accounts or payment methods
For fleet managers, it means:
- Unified billing and payments: All charging expenses—across both Tesla and other networks—are consolidated through WEX, making accounting and cost allocation far simpler.
- Improved route efficiency: With Superchargers integrated into WEX’s route planning tools, fleets can design journeys that balance time, distance, and charging costs.
- Enhanced transparency: Granular data on where, when, and how vehicles are charged allows fleets to analyze usage patterns and optimize operations.
- Predictable costs: Real-time pricing and centralized management help avoid unexpected expenses and support more accurate budgeting.
As Dearborn summarized, the update is designed to make EV operations simpler, more transparent, and future-ready—not just for early adopters but for organizations scaling electric fleets across multiple countries.
How the Integration Works in Practice
WEX has designed access to Tesla Superchargers to be flexible, allowing drivers to choose the workflow that best matches their habits and vehicle setup. There are two primary ways to plug into the Tesla network using WEX:
1. Using the EV Driver by WEX App
For drivers who are already comfortable with the WEX ecosystem, the EV Driver by WEX app becomes the central hub for planning and managing charging sessions, including Tesla Superchargers.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the EV Driver by WEX app.
- Search for charging stations as usual. Tesla Supercharger locations will appear alongside other public charging points.
- Compare prices in real time. The app lets you see pricing at Tesla Superchargers versus nearby alternatives, so you can find the best option based on cost, speed, and convenience.
- Select a Supercharger location. Once you’ve chosen where to charge, navigate to the site.
- Choose your connector and start charging. After plugging in, you can initiate the charging session directly from the EV Driver by WEX app.
From the driver’s perspective, a Tesla Supercharger becomes just another compatible high-power station within the WEX network—no extra accounts or separate billing required.
2. Using the Tesla App With a WEX EV Charge Card
For Tesla drivers who prefer to stay within the Tesla ecosystem but still want all the financial and administrative benefits of WEX, there’s a second option: integrating WEX directly into the Tesla app as a payment method.
The process is simple:
- Open the Tesla app.
- Add your WEX EV charge card as a payment method in the app.
- Drive to a Tesla Supercharger and plug in as usual.
- Start and manage the charging session through the Tesla app.
Behind the scenes, WEX handles the payments and billing. For drivers, this preserves the familiar plug-and-charge convenience of the Tesla ecosystem while still giving companies the centralized control and reporting they rely on from WEX.
Whether drivers start sessions through the EV Driver by WEX app or the Tesla app, the outcome is the same: charges are consolidated under WEX, and fleet managers see a complete overview of usage across their EV operations.
Available for Both Tesla and Non-Tesla Vehicles
A key aspect of this integration is inclusivity. The Tesla Supercharger network in Europe is increasingly open not only to Tesla vehicles but also to many non-Tesla EVs, thanks to wider adoption of standard connector types and Tesla’s ongoing network-opening initiatives in the region.
WEX’s integration supports this open access approach. The update is live across all Tesla Supercharger locations in Europe that are part of the accessible network and is available for:
- Tesla vehicles, which can continue to enjoy native features like plug-and-charge while benefiting from WEX’s payment consolidation and reporting.
- Non-Tesla vehicles, whose drivers can access Superchargers via the EV Driver by WEX app, where compatible, and manage their charging just like any other station in WEX’s network.
This means mixed-brand fleets—those operating vehicles from multiple manufacturers—can simplify their charging strategies by using WEX as a common backbone, regardless of which EVs they deploy.
Strengthening Europe’s High-Power Charging Landscape
As EV adoption accelerates across Europe, reliable high-power charging infrastructure has become a strategic necessity for both private businesses and public services. Fleets transporting goods, services, or passengers often run on tight schedules where long charging stops are not an option.
By integrating more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers, WEX helps address several key challenges:
- Coverage gaps: In some regions, fast-charging options remain limited. Tesla’s widespread footprint helps fill those gaps.
- Charging speed: Ultra-fast chargers up to 250 kW can dramatically reduce charging times, improving vehicle uptime.
- Price transparency: WEX’s real-time comparison tools help avoid ‘surprise’ high tariffs and keep operational costs under control.
- Operational scalability: Companies scaling EV fleets across multiple countries can rely on WEX for consistent tools and policies across all markets.
The result is a more mature, resilient, and user-friendly charging environment that supports the broader transition to electric mobility—not just for individual Tesla owners, but for complex, high-utilization fleets that depend on uptime and clarity.
A Future-Ready Platform for EV Operations
With this integration, WEX reinforces its role not only as a payments provider but as a strategic partner for EV fleet management. The company’s platform now brings together:
- Over 1 million charging points across Europe
- More than 20,000 high-power Tesla Superchargers at 1,500+ locations
- Tools for route optimization, cost control, price comparison, and unified billing
All of this is delivered through a single, coherent ecosystem designed to help businesses manage the transition from internal combustion engines to electric and hybrid fleets without adding complexity.
The integration with Tesla Superchargers is live now and available to WEX customers across Europe. For drivers, it means faster, easier charging wherever the road takes them. For fleet operators, it means better visibility, control, and predictability in an increasingly electrified landscape—making EV operations not just possible, but practical and scalable for the long term.
