Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 19 (Xinhua)-- Tesla sent an email to European car owners on September 19 local time warning that the charging price of his overcharging network will rise sharply again, according to Electrek. In the email, Tesla blamed the price rise on the rise in "energy prices" in Europe. According to the media check, the average charging price has increased by 0.12 euros per kilowatt-hour.

One of the biggest advantages of electric vehicles is still that their operating costs are much lower than those of internal combustion engines, thanks to the fact that electricity is usually much cheaper than natural gas. However, the cost of natural gas and electricity has been soaring, especially in Europe, as a result of the war in Ukraine and Russian oil and gas restrictions.

In the past, a full charge at the Tesla supercharging station usually did not exceed $5 or $10. After several price increases, many supercharging stations now charge $0.50 per kilowatt-hour, which could lead to the cost of charging 60 kilowatt-hours to $30.

CTOnews.com has learned that supercharging prices for most charging stations in Europe will be higher than 0.60 euros per kilowatt-hour after the latest price increase. But in most cases, these prices are still cheaper than natural gas, which also rose sharply last year.

Because these prices only apply to super-charging piles, which is only a small part of the overall charging by most electric car drivers, because most charging usually occurs at home overnight.

Overall, electricity bills have also been rising, but they are easier to manage than those at supercharging stations, which are also affected by demand charges.

Tesla is expected to invest more and more in solar energy and energy storage in supercharging stations to help control energy costs and eventually control the prices of supercharging stations.

Tesla may be waiting for Supercharger V4 to deploy solar energy and storage more widely at charging stations.
