Elon Musk's Tesla Supercharger network across various countries in Europe has reached a new milestone since it debuted in the region.

One of the biggest hurdles that potential EV customers consider is the lack of charging stations. However, as the demand for all-electric cars skyrockets, the charging network for electric cars also grows.

The Musk-owned carmaker launched its Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot program to a few European Union territories. It essentially allows car owners of other EV brands to also top up their batteries in Tesla charging stations.

The program includes locations, such as the UK, Iceland, Switzerland, and Germany. Not to mention that EV owners in Austria, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Finland, and Luxembourg could also charge their vehicles on Superchargers.

As per a report by Electrek, the American carmaker gave its EV owners in Europe a heads up about its price increase. The memo says that it is all "due to an increase in energy prices."

The news outlet notes that the increase varies depending on the location. But on average, the hike is roughly €0.12 per kWh.
