Last week, the Tesla announced a price change for its Supercharger pricing system for third-party charging. Contrary to a feared price increase, the prices for the subscription model for owners of third-party vehicles have been reduced. Tesla-Owners are automatically members and still do not have to pay any additional fees to benefit from the discounted prices. The monthly membership fee for Supercharger has been reduced from 12.99 euros/month to 9.99 euros/month. In addition, a new annual membership has been introduced at a price of 100 euros/year, which is a 16 percent discount compared to the monthly membership. Membership entitles the holder to discounted charging at the Tesla Superchargers.
Tesla emphasized that despite this change Teslaowners can continue to enjoy a seamless and fully integrated fast-charging experience at lower prices than non-members, while other electric car drivers can continue to use the Tesla network have more options. Non-member fast charging will continue to be available at stations that are accessible to all EV drivers, and fast charging rates will be updated regularly to provide affordable fast charging for all EV drivers.
For fast charging at the Superchargers Tesla no longer has fixed tariffs. The prices are adjusted depending on the utilization of the individual locations or the time of day. Customers can register in advance in the Tesla-app or on the company's website to find out about the tariffs in advance. The Teslafast-charging network is the largest fast-charging infrastructure in the world and the largest public fast-charging system in Europe. There are currently more than 14,000 Superchargers at over 1,100 locations in 30 European countries. In Germany, more than 3,600 Superchargers are available at over 200 locations. More than 99 percent of the network is currently also open to non-Superchargers.Tesla-vehicles. Tesla is continuing to expand the Supercharger network and is making it even more accessible for all brands with the latest V4 Superchargers.
