The Energy team at Tesla built and supplied lithium ion batteries known as Tesla Powerwalls for Starlink equipment in Ukraine.

Tesla employees used inverters and charging cables that were donated by Tesla’s certified installers in the area to assemble the Starlink-and-Powerwall systems. To power Starlink equipment, they also made AC cables out of scrap at Tesla’s new factory outside Berlin.

While Tesla is not a company that operates in Ukraine, the company stated in an email that approximately 5,000 Tesla owners and other EV drivers in Ukraine could receive free vehicle charging at one of its Supercharger stations located in Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.
