Tesla makes supercharging free across UAE and gulf stations during ‘tough times’

Tesla has rolled out free supercharging across its network in the UAE and parts of the Gulf, offering temporary relief to customers as the company activates a policy reserved for challenging periods.

Free supercharging activated across UAE

Tesla has announced that customers can now use its supercharging stations in the UAE free of cost for a limited time. The move aligns with a statement made by founder Elon Musk last month, where he described free supercharging as standard company policy during “tough times”.
