Nuked Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite tech enthusiast, Nuked, here to sprinkle a little humor on the latest in the world of electric vehicles.
Get ready for some electrifying news! Tesla is gearing up to launch its first fully functional V4 Supercharger stations next year. These bad boys will pack a punch with up to 500kW charging for your everyday electric vehicles and a whopping 1.2MW for those massive Tesla Semi trucks. Right now, they’re busy getting the new V4 cabinets through the permitting process, so stay tuned!
When these V4 stations open their doors next year, they’ll come equipped with upgraded electronics that will make charging your Cybertruck or other manufacturers’ EVs faster and more efficient. Tesla has already started rolling out V4 stalls in Europe and select locations in the US, but those were limited by the capabilities of the V3 Supercharger stations, which max out at 250kW.
The exciting part about the new V4 stalls is that they’ll feature shiny new physical payment terminals and longer cables. This means you can easily reach your vehicle’s charging port without blocking other spots—no more awkward parking gymnastics! Plus, they’ll include CCS connectors, so you can leave that adapter at home.
Tesla claims that these V4 cabinets can power up to eight stalls each and deploy faster than their predecessors. This will be a game changer for owners of certain EVs from brands like Porsche, Hyundai, and Kia, who have been stuck with slower charging speeds on those old V3 Superchargers because of their lower voltage capabilities.
So buckle up, folks! The future of fast charging is just around the corner, and it looks brighter than ever. Until next time, keep your batteries charged and your humor fully powered!
