Tesla Supercharger Price Drops in Some Europe and North American Locations
As per the news story by Electrek, the Elon Musk-owned EV maker has started bringing down its Supercharger rates in numerous locations.
Although Tesla did not announce such a move, its EV owners have started to report the price reduction in some locations.
Electrek notes in its latest report that the Supercharger stations across the world saw a couple of price increases in the past months. It comes as electricity has become more expensive these days due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
And as such, the rates at Supercharging stations have ballooned to $0.50 per kWh. Electrek did the math. It turns out that a single 60kWh charge now costs $30.
