Tesla is ushering in a new era of electric vehicle charging with the deployment of its first Supercharger V4 station. This new generation of DC fast-charging stations is much larger than the previous generation, and features a potential for a higher charge rate (currently capped at 250 kW for the Supercharger V3). Additionally, the V4 station includes a solution to allow CCS charging for non-Tesla electric vehicles, known as the Magic Dock.
The first Supercharger V4 station has been spotted under construction in Harderwijk, the Netherlands. The new station features much larger stalls than the previous generation, and a longer charging cable. This longer cable is critical for new Tesla Superchargers, as it allows non-Tesla electric vehicles to access the charger without having to park in awkward positions or blocking other stalls.
The potential higher capacity of Supercharger V4 is yet to be revealed, but with the first station being deployed, we should soon learn more. Tesla sent out a rare press release to announce the deployment of the previous generation, and we may see the same with Supercharger V4 any day now.
Tesla’s Supercharger V4 is an exciting development in electric vehicle charging technology, and will no doubt revolutionize the way we charge our cars. With its higher charge rate and ability to accommodate non-Tesla electric vehicles, it’s sure to make charging faster and more convenient than ever before.
