In response to the energy crisis that's hit Europe in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the price of the Supercharger network in Europe is going to be hiked by 50%.
Supercharger stations charge $0.50 per kilowatt hour at many locations, so topping up batteries is more expensive forTesla owners.
The prices went up 30 percent across Germany. It's cheaper to fill up a tank with gas than it is to charge an EV, but the price has gone up since the invasion. EV's are not immune to soaring energy prices.
Europe is feeling the pinch after getting cut off from Russia. Factory were forced to close due to the high energy prices.
That doesn't bode well for the upcoming winter. Europeans will have to dig into their pockets to keep their homes warm.
Experts argue that now is a good time to invest in an EV because of soaring electricity prices. Since cars can act as a backup battery or energy storage bank, they could be a lifesaver.
Nobody knows how long Europe's energy crisis will last, so EV owners are going to have to pay a lot more.
Supercharging prices in Europe have increased significantly byTesla.
