Thank you. Let's go to the second question from retail, which is Elon has said that Tesla will be opening up the Supercharger network to other EVs later this year. Can you share some more details on how this will be structured, will this be a select brands, or will they contribute to the growth of this network?
Elon Musk -- Chief Executive Officer
Yes. We're currently thinking it's a real simple thing where you just download the Tesla app, and you go to Supercharger. And you just indicate which stall you're in. So you plug in your car, even if it's not Tesla.
And then you just access the app and say, turn on this stall that I'm in for how much electricity. And this should basically work with I think almost any manufacturer's cars. There will be time constraints. If the charge rate is super slow, then somebody will be charged more because the biggest constraint at the Supercharger is time, how occupied is the stall.
And we'll also be smarter with how we charge for electricity at the Supercharger. So rush hour charging will be more expensive than off-hours is charging because there are times when the Superchargers are empty and times when they're jam-packed. And so it makes sense to have some time-based discrimination.
Martin Viecha -- Senior Director, Investor Relations
Yeah. We've been doing that, and it's been working, and people are responding. It helps with utilization.
Elon Musk -- Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, exactly. In Europe and China and most parts of the world, it's the same connector for everyone, so this is a fairly easy thing to do. We developed our own connector, which in my opinion is actually the best connector, it's small and light and looks good and above standard. So we developed our own connector, which in my opinion actually the best connector.
It's small and light and looks good. So an adapter is needed to work for EVs in North America. But people could buy this adapter. And we anticipate having it available at the Superchargers as well if people don't sort of steal them or something.
Andrew Baglino -- Senior Vice President, Powertrain and Energy Engineering
We have a good solution to that.
Elon Musk -- Chief Executive Officer
OK. So that's a constraint on North America. That's basically a vestige of history. But I think we do want to emphasize that it is our goal to support the advent of sustainable energy, it is not to create a wolf garden and use that to bludgeon our competitors, which is sometimes used by some companies.
Andrew Baglino -- Senior Vice President, Powertrain and Energy Engineering
I think it's also important to comment that increasing the utilization of the network actually reduces our costs, which allows us to lower charging prices for our customers and make the network more profitable, allows us to grow the network faster. That's the good thing there. And then -- and no matter what, we're going to continue to aggressively expand the network capacity, increasing charging speeds, improving the trip planning tools to protect against site congestion using dynamic pricing, as Elon mentioned.
Elon Musk -- Chief Executive Officer
Yeah.
Andrew Baglino -- Senior Vice President, Powertrain and Energy Engineering
And just continuing to focus on minimum wait time for all customers.
Elon Musk -- Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. Obviously, in order for this to be -- for the Supercharger to be useful to other car companies' cars, we need to grow the network faster than we're growing vehicle output, which is not easy. We're growing vehicle output at a hell of a rate. So Superchargers need to grow faster than vehicle output.
This is a lot of work for the Superchargers team, but it is only useful in the grand scheme of things. Just only useful to the public if we're able to grow faster than Tesla vehicle output. So that is our goal.
