A temporary construction power cabinet supplying the station had fallen over, described by Tesla as occurring \u201cunder unclear circumstances.\u201d The power was then cut at the request of Tesla\u2019s installation contractor to allow safe repair work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the safety issue was resolved, the station has not been brought back online. Stefan Sedin, CEO of J\u00e4mtkraft eln\u00e4t, told <em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/da.se\/2026\/02\/teslas-laddstation-i-are-utan-strom-nu-kan-elnatsbolaget-tvingas-ansluta\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dagens Arbete (DA)<\/a><\/em> that power will not be restored to the existing Supercharger station as long as the electric vehicle maker\u2019s union issues are ongoing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of our installers noticed that the construction power had been backed up and was on the ground. We asked Tesla to fix the system, and their installation company in turn asked us to cut the power so that they could do the work safely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen everything was restored, the question arose: &#8216;Wait a minute, can we reconnect the station to the electricity grid? Or what does the notice actually say?&#8217; We consulted with our employer organization, who were clear that as long as sympathy measures are in place, we cannot reconnect this facility,\u201d Sedin said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The union\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-supercharger-vandalized-frozen-cables-anti-musk-imagery-sweden-union-dispute\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sympathy actions<\/a>, which began in March 2024, apply to work involving \u201cplanning, preparation, new connections, grid expansion, service, maintenance and repairs\u201d of Tesla\u2019s charging infrastructure in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla Sweden has argued that reconnecting an existing facility is not equivalent to establishing a new grid connection. In a filing to the Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate, the company stated that reconnecting the installation \u201cis therefore not covered by the sympathy measures and cannot therefore constitute a reason for not reconnecting the facility to the electricity grid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedin, for his part, noted that Tesla\u2019s issue with the Supercharger is quite unique. And while J\u00e4mtkraft eln\u00e4t itself has no issue with Tesla, its actions are based on the unions\u2019 sympathy measures against the electric vehicle maker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is absolutely the first time that I have been involved in matters relating to union conflicts or sympathy measures. That is why we have relied entirely on the assessment of our employer organization. This is not something that we have made any decisions about ourselves at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not that J\u00e4mtkraft eln\u00e4t has a conflict with Tesla, but our actions are based on these sympathy measures. Should it turn out that we have made an incorrect assessment, we will correct ourselves. It is no more difficult than that for us,\u201d the executive said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The charging site was previously functioning before it was temporarily
