With Hurricane Milton bearing down on Florida’s west coast, Tesla is taking proactive steps to support its vehicle owners. The company announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it will deploy mobile superchargers after the storm to help those affected. These superchargers will be powered by Tesla’s Megapacks, massive battery units capable of storing over 3.9 MWh of energy.
In addition to deploying mobile superchargers, Tesla is also focusing on restoring its supercharger network after the hurricane.
To prepare for the storm, Tesla recommends that owners fully charge their EVs at home if possible. The company also reminds drivers that they can check the status and availability of Superchargers through their vehicle’s touchscreen or the Tesla App. This information is crucial for planning journeys during and after the hurricane.
Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall late Wednesday near Tampa as a Category 3 storm before moving toward the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings of devastating hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall, urging residents to complete evacuations and preparations. The potential for significant disruption highlights the importance of Tesla’s proactive approach to supporting its vehicle owners during this challenging event.
