Tesla has introduced all V4 Superchargers can now cost as much as 325kW in North America, however for now, solely the Cybertruck can reap the benefits of the upgraded energy output.
The present Supercharger state of affairs might be fairly complicated.
Tesla has 4 completely different generations of its Superchargers, however issues received combined up with the most recent V4 era.
Again in 2016, when speaking about Supercharger V3, I requested if the brand new model of the fast-charging station can be able to 350 kW charging, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned that 350 kW would simply be a “youngsters’s toy”:
Nevertheless, Supercharger V3 ended up restricted to 250 kW. That labored for Tesla autos, however Tesla is now opening the community to non-Tesla EVs, and lots of of them are able to charging at 400 kW, and several other different charging stations are able to that cost price.
Tesla has since moved on to deploying the Supercharger V4, however that has been considerably disappointing as a result of Tesla has to date primarily deployed new V4 charging stalls with V3 cupboards, which offer the ability for Superchargers.
These stations are known as Supercharger V3+.
Final summer season, Tesla mentioned that it was working to allow these V3+ Superchargers to cost at over 300 kW.
Tesla has now introduced:
All V4 posts in North America can now cost as much as 325kW for Cybertruck.
The announcement particularly mentions “V4 posts”, which might imply the V3+ stations with V4 stalls and V3 cupboards.
For now, the Tesla Cybertruck is the one automobile in Tesla’s lineup that may reap the benefits of the upper energy output, however there are many non-Tesla EVs that can have the ability to use it.
Extra lately, Tesla introduced that it’s now beginning to deploy full V4 Supercharger stations with V4 cupboards able to 500 kW.
