In Germany, charging a Tesla is no longer a problem these days. The Supercharger network is well developed and many hotels, restaurants and even private households have a wallbox. But what is the charging situation like in other European countries
Tesla charging Europe: Three popular examples
In this article, we want to give you an understanding of the situation in three popular travel countries in Europe and on the way there. It goes to Greece, Spain and Austria.
Tesla Europe charging stations: Charging in Greece
The Supercharger network in Greece is poorly developed, especially in the north of the country. However, there are charging stations from other providers that often also have CCS or Type 2. These stations can be found via the Greek app "nrg InCharge" or via "PlugShare". Hotels also offer charging stations, especially in the larger cities.
Note that the charging capacities at Greek charging stations are often lower than stated. A Tesla charging adapter is not necessary for most charging stations, but due to the low density of charging stations, a mobile charging station such as a JUICE BOOSTER with a suitable adapter (type F, Schuko) in your luggage can be helpful.
Supercharger costs in Europe: cheap travel to Greece
There are plenty of Superchargers available on the popular route via Serbia and Bulgaria to Sofia. And best of all, in these countries and in Greece itself, they are free to use.
Supercharger prices in Europe: More charging stations in Spain - but more expensive
Unlike in Greece, there are numerous, well-distributed Superchargers in Spain. There are also plenty of charging points on the route via France. However, charging in Spain is not free, but costs 58 cents per kilowatt hour.
In addition to the Superchargers, there are also many other providers, CCS or type 2 are also the norm here. A Tesla charging cable adapter is therefore not necessary in Spain either, at most for old Model S. The market leader for non-Tesla charging stations is the Iberdrola app, but EnBW should also work.
Supercharger situation in Austria
In absolute numbers, Austria doesn't have that many Superchargers, but the country isn't that big either. The density of Tesla charging stations should therefore be sufficient in any case. Cost point: 65-66 cents/kWh (as of January 2023). Otherwise, e-mobility is similarly well developed as in Germany, with numerous third-party providers. CCS or Type 2 is also the standard here.
