Israeli Tesla owners can charge for free
Tesla owners in Israel can now charge their vehicles for free at the company’s supercharger stations. The free supercharging offer in Israel appears to be active until further notice.
The free supercharging program was being implemented in the country as a way to help Israel’s efforts to restore the safety of its citizens. The program will be very useful, as people would likely be driving nonstop to transport supplies or travel to safer areas.
Tesla’s official website currently lists 17 supercharger locations in Israel. So far, the electric vehicle maker does not offer charging for non-Tesla vehicles at its supercharger stations in Israel. Because of that Tesla owners are able to fully take advantage of the free supercharging offer. Last month Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Tesla’s Fremont plant where Tesla owner Elon Musk gave him a ride in a Cybertruck.
Tesla has shown a tendency to help its owners by offering free supercharging in times of need. During the onset of the Russia-Ukrain war, Tesla announced that select superchargers in parts of Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary would be free to use as part of the company’s efforts to help owners who were affected by the invasion.
Over in the United States, Tesla has also extended free supercharging during times of emergency, such as when Hurricane Dorian was about to make landfall in Florida in 2019. The same offer was rolled out during Hurricane Michael’s assault on the East Coast in 2018 as well.
