Supercharger Fees

We designed the Supercharger network to enable a seamless, enjoyable road trip experience. Therefore, we’ve heard you and understand that it can be frustrating to arrive at a station only to discover fully charged vehicles occupying spaces.

We envision a future where vehicles move themselves once fully charged, enhancing network efficiency and the customer experience even further. Until then, we ask that vehicles be moved from the Supercharger once charged. A customer would never leave a vehicle parked by the pump at a gas station and the same thinking applies with Superchargers.

Supercharger Idle Fee

To create a better experience for all owners, we’re introducing a fleet-wide idle fee that aims to increase Supercharger availability.

The Tesla app allows owners to remotely monitor their vehicle, alerting them when their charge is nearly complete and again once it reaches the charge threshold. For every additional minute a vehicle remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur an idle fee. If the vehicle is moved within five minutes, the fee is waived. Idle fees only apply when a Supercharger station is at 50% capacity or more. Idle fees double when the station is at 100% capacity.

Supercharger Congestion Fee

At certain Supercharging locations, congestion fees will replace idle fees. A congestion fee is a fee you pay when a Supercharger site is busy, and your vehicle’s battery is above a certain level. You can see the battery charge level where congestion fees apply on your vehicle’s touchscreen.

Congestion fees only apply when:

  • The Supercharger site is busy
  • Your vehicle’s battery is already at or above the congestion fee level

If you meet all the above criteria during your Supercharging session, you will receive an alert in the Tesla app. You will have a five-minute grace period to disconnect your vehicle and leave before congestion fees apply. After the grace period, you will be charged a fee for each minute you remain connected to the Supercharger.

This fee encourages drivers to charge only as much as is needed for their trip, rather than all the way to 100%. This increases the availability of Superchargers so that everyone has access when they need it.

Congestion Fees by Country and Region
