As you may know, many companies have decided to mobilize on their own scale to help the Ukrainian people in any way they can against the Russian invasion. In France, this is particularly the case for several operators such as Free or even SFR and Orange, which have lowered the prices of communications to the country for a long period.

Questioned by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine in person on Twitter, Elon Musk announced the opening of the Starkink satellite internet network in Ukraine this week-end. And precisely, the billionaire continues to provide material support to the neighbor of Poland. Indeed, the CEO of Tesla confirmed the opening of Supercharger stations located at the country’s borders for all electric vehicles, regardless of brand. Of course, access will be completely free.

Only condition, it will obviously be necessary that the vehicle has a CCS combo socket. With more than 30,000 electric cars registered in Ukraine, it’s a safe bet that the Tesla boss’ gesture will facilitate the flight of many Ukrainian EV owners. Among the most represented models in the country, we find the Nissan Leaf, but also the Tesla Model S and Model 3.

Tesla offers free access to Superchargers at Ukrainian borders

Unfortunately, there are no Supercharger stations within Ukrainian territory yet. The manufacturer had plans to install several, especially on the main roads leading to Kiev. Nevertheless, Tesla has several stations around the country, especially at the Hungarian, Polish and Slovak border. Here are the sites concerned:

  • Trzebownisko (Poland)
  • Kosice (Slovakia)
  • Miskolc (Hungary)
  • Debrecen (Hungary)

It now remains to be hoped that the major oil groups will do the same with gasoline, the price of which has recently exploded in recent weeks… As a reminder, the Anonymous collective claimed responsibility for a new cyberattack against Russian media this Monday, February 28, 2022. The sites of the country’s main news agencies were still paralyzed at the start of the afternoonwhile hackers took the opportunity to post injunctions to stop hostilities on the home pages of several public and private Russian sites.
