When regions of the world are hit by natural disasters, Tesla has been known to offer free supercharging in those regions to give one less thing for people to think about when moving away from danger. For example, Tesla offered free Supercharging to owners on several occasions during hurricanes in the south of the US. Now for the first time, Tesla is doing it for not a natural disaster, but a human-made disaster.
Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a "military operation" last week that is now amounting to a large-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have been fighting back its much bigger neighbour, but the Russian military has advanced into several parts of the country.
