A screenshot of a message sent by Tesla has been shared on Reddit. The message says that free supercharging will be available in areas impacted by the recent situation in Ukraine. Tesla currently operates nine supercharging stations in Poland, with three more opening soon. The EV company currently has four supercharging stations in Slovakia, and another is planned to be set up in the near future.

The automaker has been integral in helping Ukraine since Russia invaded the Eastern European country by offering free supercharging in areas surrounding Ukraine. The service is not only available for Tesla owners, but for all other electric vehicles as well, in order to help Ukrainians to flee the war-torn region more easily. Tesla's charity is helping the electric vehicle owners in the region to aid people in need.

This is not the first time Tesla has offered free supercharging to EV owners in a time of disaster. In the US, the electric vehicle major made free service available in certain supercharging stations when hurricanes were forecasted to hit. In addition, Tesla also temporarily unlocked additional electric range in some of its vehicles to help the owners get as far away from the situation as possible without having to stop to recharge.

With petrol and diesel becoming more pricier and scarce in the conflict region, electric vehicle owners are benefitting from not depending on fossil fuel. Tesla's offering of free supercharging comes as an additional help to them.
