AMSTERDAM, August 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Model S drivers can drive from Stockholm to Cote d'Azur for
free
Tesla marked the continued rapid expansion of its fast-charging
network last week by opening its 50th Supercharging
location in Europe. The unveiling
of the new site in Narbonne, France, is another step towards an extensive
Supercharger network in Tesla's major European markets, including
the UK, Scandinavia, the DACH region, Benelux, and
France.

Tesla's Supercharger network in Europe has expanded quickly since the first
installation in Norway in
August 2013. Supercharger routes now
enable free electric travel between major cities and the most
popular highways from Scandinavia to the French Riviera. Routes
covered include Oslo-Stockholm-Copenhagen, Hamburg to Geneva and Berlin to Frankfurt. In France, the "Route du Soleil" runs from
Paris to the Cote d'Azur and new
locations in the north are coming soon to allow travel to
Amsterdam. In the UK, new
Supercharger sites open in London
and Birmingham this week.
Tesla recently energised its 168th Supercharger
worldwide, making it both the largest and the fastest-growing
fast-charging network in the world. In July, the European
Supercharger network alone delivered more than 600 MWh of energy to
Model S vehicles. That energy accounts for a collective 2.2 million
miles driven, the equivalent distance of driving to the moon and
back four and a half times. In this same month, Superchargers in
Europe have saved more than
380,000 litres of petrol and offset up to 1,100 tons of carbon
dioxide.
