Tesla has officially unveiled its new V4 Supercharger Cabinet, set to revolutionize EV charging when it launches in 2025. The V4 cabinets will be able to charge electric vehicles at speeds of up to 500kW, and Tesla’s Semi trucks at an impressive 1.2MW. With these new advancements, Tesla continues to push the boundaries of EV charging technology, promising faster, more efficient charging solutions for both consumers and businesses.
One of the most exciting features of the V4 Cabinet is its ability to charge electric vehicles at a lightning-fast rate of up to 500kW. This represents a significant upgrade over the current V3 chargers, which support a maximum of 250kW for Tesla’s S3XY models. The V4 cabinets are designed to handle a wide range of vehicle architectures, from 400V to 1000V, making it a versatile solution for different types of EVs on the road today and in the future.
In particular, Tesla’s Cybertruck, which has already generated much excitement, will benefit from a 30% faster charging experience compared to the previous generation. With the V4 cabinets, owners can expect to add around 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes of charging, making long road trips more convenient than ever before.
Doubling the Stalls
In addition to faster charging speeds, the V4 Cabinet also brings a major upgrade to the Supercharger infrastructure itself. The new cabinets will support up to 8 charging posts, doubling the capacity of the current V3 models, which support only 4 stalls per cabinet. This design upgrade means that Tesla will be able to expand its Supercharger network more quickly, allowing for more stations to go online faster and reducing waiting times for drivers.
The V4 Cabinet also features cutting-edge power electronics that are designed for maximum reliability and efficiency. With three times the power density of the V3 cabinets, the V4 design enables higher throughput with lower costs. This means that Tesla can increase its charging network’s efficiency while simultaneously lowering the operational costs of each station.
Faster Deployment of V4 Cabinets
Tesla has also focused on making the V4 Cabinets easier to deploy. The more compact design reduces the footprint and complexity, making it simpler and faster to install new stations. Tesla’s first sites with the V4 cabinets are already entering the permitting process, and the company expects the first V4 Superchargers to open in 2025. This is just the beginning of what promises to be a major leap forward in the world of electric vehicle charging.
With the release of the V4 Cabinets, Tesla is not only improving the speed of its Superchargers but also setting the stage for a more efficient, expansive, and accessible EV charging network. As the company continues to lead the charge in electric mobility, the V4 Superchargers will play a crucial role in supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles worldwide.
