Tesla Makes Superchargers Free In Israel In Wartime

Tesla boss Elon Musk has announced that superchargers for the company’s electric cars will be free in Israel as the country copes with devastating attacks from Hamas in Gaza that killed at least 1,200 people. 

“All Tesla Superchargers in Israel are free,” Musk wrote on Wednesday evening in a brief message on the social media platform he owns. 

The company later said that the policy was in place until further notice. 

Tesla began selling its electric cars in Israel in March 2021, and there are now more than 10,000 of the vehicles in the country, according to Globes. 

Superchargers, as the name suggests, are the company’s fastest way of charging its vehicles, able to extend the cars’ range by up to 200 miles in just a quarter of an hour. There are 17 of them across Israel, according to Tesla’s website.
