Tesla’s Supercharger Anniversary: 🔌🎉 Free Charging for Tesla and Third-Party Electric Vehicles
Reports began emerging overnight, and it wasn’t until the early morning hours that they could be confirmed. 🔦 Tesla, a trailblazer in electric vehicles, surprised the public with news of a pricing change for its Supercharger stations. The change was set to take effect at midnight on Monday. European Tesla owners were greeted with an astonishing display of 0 cents per kilowatt-hour on their car screens, applicable from 9 a.m. onwards. This unprecedented offer for complimentary charging at Tesla Superchargers swiftly turned into reality, and Tesla promptly corroborated the news. 🚗⚡
However, not all Supercharger users were initially aware of this exceptional offer. A Tesla driver, whom teslamag.de interviewed at a Hanover Supercharger shortly after 9 a.m. with his Model 3, mentioned that he first heard about the news on the MyDealz app. Intrigued by the prospect of free charging, he decided to give it a try even though he needed to charge his vehicle anyway. While his initial attempt displayed a cost just before 9 a.m., subsequent attempts confirmed the validity of the zero-cost offer (as shown in the accompanying photo). 📱🔋
Likewise, other Tesla drivers at the Hanover Supercharger were divided in their knowledge of the special offer. A Model Y driver mentioned that her son had informed her of the cost-free opportunity, prompting her to seize the moment. On the other hand, a Model X Plaid driver was initially unaware of the fortuitous situation. Only when prompted did she check her Tesla screen and rejoice in the absence of charging expenses. 😲🚙
Beyond the remarkable price, what set this offer apart was the shift in peak charging hours. Typically, the higher tariff period spans from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Interestingly, on this particular Tuesday, the pricing adjustment began at 9 a.m. This anomaly led some observers to speculate about technical issues with the regular tariff transition. However, at exactly 9 a.m., Tesla’s European account tweeted that Supercharging would be complimentary for the entire day, extending even to approximately 70 percent of the network that accommodates third-party electric vehicles. 🌄⏰

Although the initial announcement didn’t provide a rationale, a subsequent tweet from @teslaeurope shed light on the occasion: exactly ten years ago, the first six Supercharger stations were inaugurated in Norway. Later, at 9:21 a.m., Tesla sent an email to journalists confirming the day-long free charging promotion in celebration of the Supercharger’s 10th anniversary. This unique rate of 0 euros per kilowatt-hour was confirmed twice, dispelling any notion of an inadvertent incident. To take advantage of the free Supercharger electricity for both Tesla and third-party electric vehicles, charging must commence by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, as specified by Tesla’s official announcement. ⚡🎂🆓
