Tesla is wasting little time preparing the infrastructure needed to support the Semi in Europe. On the same day the European version of the electric truck made its public debut at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany, Tesla expanded its new Semi Charging for Business program to five European markets.
According to a post from the Tesla Charging account on X, the program is now available in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom, allowing businesses and fleet operators to purchase Tesla charging equipment for their own properties.

Tesla launched the program in North America earlier this year, offering both its high-powered Megacharger and lower-cost Basecharger.
The expansion to Europe comes as Tesla prepares to begin Semi deliveries in the region in 2027. The European-spec truck made its debut Monday during the press day for IAA Transportation, giving potential customers their first close look at the version specifically designed for the region.
As we reported last week, the European Semi will initially be offered with an estimated range of 550 km (342 miles), based on a total combination weight of 40 tonnes. Tesla estimates energy consumption at 1.0 kWh/km, while charging capability is listed at up to 800 kW. The truck can recover around 60% of its range in 30 minutes, and has a curb weight of less than 9,100 kg (20,062 lbs).
One unique design change made possible due to European regulations is the lack of traditional side mirrors, which have instead been replaced with cameras.
Ich frage mich ob Tesla am 24. September auch FSD auf dem Semi mit ankündigt.
