Tesla Ends Free E-Car Charging in Hungary

• Hungary Around the Clock

The Tesla Supercharger stations will no longer provide free electricity at its e-car charging stations from March 8, the carmaker, which operates the chargers, informed car owners in an e-mail.

According to the letter, charging fees will vary from location to location, and a so-called “idling” fee will be introduced, which will be charged when a Tesla car continues to occupy a charging station more than five minutes after it has been charged and the station is at least 50% percent full.

Tesla did not say what its car-charging fees will be.

As a result of the significant rise in electricity prices in recent months, queues have been forming at the charging stations.
