Tesla has just expanded its UK network of Superchargers with the opening of a store in Birmingham, where Model S owners can charge up their cars for free.
Perhaps the most exciting part of this continuing expansion is that Tesla promises within six month the UK network will be complete enough to get you from one end of the country to another, using just Superchargers.

The new charging station is located in the near the centre of Birmingham, just a kilometre away from the famous Bullring shopping centre.
Other Superchargers in the UK are found in Edinburgh, Reading, Bristol, while there's a bunch in London: Royal Victoria Dock, Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge, White City and Portman Square.
You might be thinking, 'where can I get one?' Well, Tesla Model S cars cost upwards of £49,500, making it a bit pricey for a city runabout.
Tesla is to release a new vehicle in 2015, the Tesla Model X. It's a larger family car with doors that fold out like those of the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
But before you get too excited, the deposit alone costs £4000. We don't know the full UK price yet, but it won't be cheap.
