Tesla Supercharger Idle Fees Settlement
Tesla Supercharger Idle Fees Settlement
Accepting Submissions
A lawsuit alleges that Tesla charged Idle Fees to California drivers whose cars came with free lifetime Supercharging, and that it disabled or threatened to disable Supercharger access when those fees went unpaid. Under the proposed settlement you can get back the Idle Fees you actually paid. On top of that, the payment is $10 if you no longer own the car, $50 if your Supercharger access was disabled for less than 30 days, and $350 if it was disabled for 30 or more days in a row. Tesla's records set the refund and the disabling amounts.
Claims are due September 25, 2026, which is also the last day to object. The court will hold a final approval hearing on December 2, 2026. If you do nothing you still get the non-cash benefits, meaning unpaid Idle Fees are waived and Supercharger access is restored, but you give up the money.
Eligibility
You may qualify if you bought a Supercharger-enabled Tesla in California before December 16, 2016, and you were a California citizen as of June 21, 2021. Tesla's own records identify who is covered. To get money you need to confirm you are covered and give your vehicle identification number or the email address on your Tesla account.
