Generous Musk: "Tesla Superchargers Free Across Israel"
Free Charging Support for Citizens Affected by Natural Disasters and War
Starlink Satellite Internet Support Provided to Ukraine
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced that Tesla's 'Superchargers' across Israel, which were targeted by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, will be opened for free. Superchargers are Tesla's fast electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
On the 12th (local time), Musk posted on his social media platform 'X' (formerly Twitter), "All Tesla Superchargers in Israel are now free to use."

This decision appears to be made to support the Israeli people affected by the surprise terrorist attack. According to the Supercharger installation status on Tesla's website, there are Superchargers installed in a total of 17 locations in Israel. The total number of installed Supercharger stations reaches 22.
As a result, Tesla vehicle owners among Israelis in conflict-risk areas are expected to travel longer distances more easily.

Tesla has previously supported citizens affected by natural disasters and wars by opening Superchargers for free.
In 2018, during the California wildfires, Superchargers in southern cities of the state were made free, and last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, some Superchargers in parts of Ukraine were opened.
In the same year, when Hurricane Ian struck Florida, Tesla also temporarily made Superchargers free to use.

Last year, Russia indiscriminately bombed roads, energy facilities, and communication facilities in Ukraine, causing unstable internet access in the country.
