Tesla offers 1 year of free Supercharging, claims ~40% premium for non-Tesla EVs

Tesla is bringing back free Supercharging for new Model 3 Premium and Performance orders in North America, bundling one year of complimentary charging with new purchases.

The automaker also used the announcement to take a shot at non-Tesla EV owners using the Supercharger network, claiming they pay a “~40% premium” — but the actual figure is closer to 30-35% based on available data.

Free Supercharging returns for Model 3

Tesla North America announced the new incentive on X today, confirming that new orders of Model 3 Premium and Performance now come with one year of free Supercharging.

The move is the latest in a long series of free Supercharging offers Tesla has deployed over the years to boost sales. The automaker has previously offered free Supercharging on Model S and Model X as part of the Luxe Package, and has used similar incentives for inventory vehicles and trade-in promotions.
