The announcement comes soon after recently reaching a landmark 50 Supercharger installations across Europe and coincides with the June 2014 release of the Model S in the UK.

The Supercharger charge points offer 120kW of power (roughly 16 times faster than most public charging points) and can deliver a 50% charge to a Model S in under 20 minutes. This equates to supplying around 150 miles in range.

The added benefit for Tesla Model S owners is that this service is free, for life! Note that only 85kWh and 60kWh Supercharging-enabled Tesla Model S’s are ab;e to take advantage of the high powered charge points.

UK Tesla Superchargers are available 24 hours a day and offer one hour of free parking.
