Tesla's high-power charging stations - recently upgraded to deliver up to 250kW - are the flagship of Elon Musk's automaker and a major argument that Tesla is considered the queen of electric cars : no other manufacturer is currently able to offer such a widespread and powerful high-power charging network (IONITY, a consortium that brings together several major manufacturers, is building a charging network throughout Europe with powers up to 350 kW, but we are talking about 400 stations by 2020 against the 1.600 Superchargers already active worldwide).
The free Supercharger for life was the norm for Teslas sold before 2017, the year in which the increase in sales of Model S and Model X made this incentive policy simply unsustainable for a manufacturer grappling with the onerous launch of the new models. Anyone who bought a Tesla after January 2017, 3 was no longer able to benefit from unlimited free charging at Superchargers, Tesla's fast charging stations (recently updated to version 250 with charging power up to XNUMX kW). Only recently, but only for Model S and Model X vehicles ready for delivery, Tesla had made this benefit available again, which is now being extended to the entire commercial offer of top-of-the-range models.
