- Tesla’s V4 Supercharger delivers 500 kW for cars and 1.2 MW for Semis, enabling faster refuelling.
- V4 cabinets power eight stalls, doubling capacity and featuring a compact design for quicker installation at sites.
- Advanced electronics enhance reliability, while the Oasis project includes solar panels and batteries for off-grid charging solutions.
Tesla upgrades the network with 500 kW V4 Supercharger cabinets
Tesla has announced its new V4 Supercharger cabinets, delivering faster and more powerful charging. The new cabinets can provide up to 500 kW for cars and an impressive 1.2 MW for Tesla Semi trucks. This marks a big step forward for the company’s charging technology.
For years, Tesla has been installing V4 charging stalls but pairing them with older V3 cabinets. This limited the charging speed to 250 kW. Now, the V4 cabinet will unlock the full potential of the stalls.
The V4 cabinet comes with exciting upgrades. It supports 400V-1000V vehicle architectures, offering 30% faster charging for the Cybertruck. Tesla’s current S3XY models will maintain their 250 kW charging speeds, adding up to 200 miles in just 15 minutes.
Deployment will also speed up
A single V4 cabinet powers eight charging stalls, doubling the capacity of V3 cabinets. Its compact design simplifies installation, meaning more Supercharger sites can open sooner.
Tesla is also improving reliability and efficiency. The V4 cabinet uses advanced power electronics with three times the power density. This design reduces costs while boosting performance. Tesla is already working on permits for its first V4 Supercharger sites. These stations are expected to open by 2025.
Additionally, Tesla’s new Oasis Supercharger project will integrate larger solar panels and battery packs. This could make future charging stations almost entirely off-grid.
With the V4 cabinet, Tesla is paving the way for faster, greener, and more efficient EV charging. Faster and more reliable charging is a key component in eliminating the FUD factor, knocking down barriers to adoption and encouraging the continued and extended use of this remarkable tech.
