On May 11th, Tesla announced a frequent price reduction, but this time it is not for its electric cars, but for its proprietary DC fast charging network. Tesla has now lowered the fees for its Supercharger stations in most European markets, which is good news for Tesla and other electric car owners.
One of the biggest advantages of electric cars is that the operating costs are much lower than those of internal combustion engine cars because electricity is usually much cheaper than gasoline. However, this is also subject to fluctuations in electricity prices, and there have been significant fluctuations in European electricity prices over the past year. Tesla had to significantly increase the charging prices of its Superchargers in September last year due to rising electricity prices, but European electricity prices have fallen in recent months.
Now Tesla has decided to reduce the charging prices of its Superchargers, which have been implemented in almost all European markets today. Charging prices in most markets have dropped by 10% to 20%, and in some markets, such as Spain, prices have even dropped by 25%.
It is worth noting that this not only affects Tesla owners, but many of Europe’s Superchargers have already been opened to all non-Tesla electric cars, so these owners can also benefit.
