تيسلا‘s upcoming V4 Supercharger stations are about to take EV charging to new heights, with support for up to 500kW charging for passenger EVs and a massive 1.2MW capability for Tesla شبه trucks, according to recent permit filings, reports ذا فيرج.

Major Power Boost Coming

The next evolution of Tesla’s charging network isn’t just about new stalls – it’s a complete system overhaul. While V4 stalls started appearing in أوروبا and select US locations last year, they’ve been limited to V3’s 250kW max output. These new stations will finally unlock the V4’s full potential when they launch in 2025.

What’s New with V4

The upgraded stations feature built-in payment terminals and longer charging cables designed to better accommodate non-Tesla EVs without causing parking issues. They’ll come equipped with integrated CCS connectors, eliminating the need for adapters. The new power cabinet design is more efficient too, capable of powering up to 8 stalls while delivering twice the charging speed potential compared to V3 stations.

Big Win for Non-Tesla EVs

This is huge news for owners of high-voltage EVs from بورشه, هيوندايو كيا who’ve been getting slower charging speeds at V3 stations. The upgraded voltage capabilities mean these vehicles can finally charge at their full potential on Tesla’s network.

EVXL’s Take

This is exactly the kind of infrastructure upgrade the EV industry needs. Tesla’s leadership in charging technology continues to push boundaries, and the inclusion of features specifically designed to improve the experience for non-Tesla EVs shows they’re serious about supporting widespread EV adoption. Recent coverage of بورشه تايكان charging speeds at V3 stations has highlighted the need for higher voltage support, and these V4 stations directly address that limitation.
