Tesla drastically increases Supercharger prices around the world

As Tesla is officially ending any type of free Supercharging program, the automaker is surprising owners with a drastic increase of Supercharging prices around the world.

All new Tesla vehicles are officially sold as part of its new pay-per-use Supercharger program since last November.

The automaker was still offering limited free Supercharging periods as part of its referral program, but now that the program is apparently going away for good, there should be absolutely no new cars with free Supercharging enabled by the end of the month.

Owners will now have to pay per kWh used at the Supercharger stations or pay per minute in some markets that don’t allow direct electricity sales.

Just as this is becoming the norm, we found out that Tesla is significantly increasing prices across many markets.

Officially, Tesla is moving away from its per state/region pricing structure to implement a per station pricing structure in order to get more comprehensive prices based on local electricity rates and demand charges.

That said, it results in massive increases in prices in most markets.

Last year, Tesla already increased Supercharger costs in the US. In some places, the increase was as much as 100 percent – though most regions saw their rates increase by 20 to 40 percent.

This time around, prices are going up globally and the US is getting another price increase.

For example, the price in New York used to be $0.24 per kWh state-wide after the last increase and now downtown New York City locations went up to $0.32/kWh – a 33% increase this week.

Again, the prices used to be set per state or region and now they are being set per Supercharging station.

In California, prices went from $0.26 per kWh to ranging from $0.32 to $0.36 per kWh in the charging stations that we verified:
