AutoExec Summary
Tesla is introducing a new Supercharger Congestion Fee for owners who overcharge their cars at busy charging locations. The penalty charge, trialled in the US, will apply to all owners, including those with free Supercharging. Owners will be charged $1 per minute for remaining plugged in at a busy Supercharger once the battery is above 90 per cent. The fee will be implemented without defined timing and can be significant, with no limit. Tesla will send warning messages via the app and provide a five-minute grace period for disconnection. The move aims to encourage responsible charging practices. The fee is not yet rolled out in Australia. Brands mentioned: Tesla.
