The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has led many people in the smaller Eastern European country to leave for other countries for refuge and safety.
A leading electric vehicle company is helping those fleeing by offering free charging services in nearby countries.
What Happened: Electric vehicle giant $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ is offering free electric vehicle charging at its Supercharger stations in nearby countries.
Electric vehicle owners from Ukraine can use a Tesla Supercharger for free in Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. The move by Tesla covers those who own Tesla vehicles and also other electric vehicle brands.
"Beginning Monday, we are temporarily enabling free Supercharging for both Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles at sites in areas impacted by the recent situation in Ukraine," an email from the electric vehicle company said. "We hope that this helps give you the peace of mind to get to a safe location."
