Tesla is accelerating the rollout of the V4 Supercharger throughout the U.S. Having debuted in Europe early this 12 months, the V4 dispensers at the moment are more and more obtainable stateside. They’ve already popped up in Oregon, Nevada, and Alabama, and now YouTuber Kim Java noticed a brand new V4 Supercharger in Atlanta, Georgia.

Beforehand, we highlighted the improved design of the V4 stalls. They’re geared up with an built-in Magic Dock (or CCS-1 adapter), a digital bank card reader, and a compact show. Notably, they boast a taller and extra streamlined construction and have a lighter, prolonged cable, measuring 10 ft in size—3.5 ft longer than the cables present in V3 Superchargers.

On the 2:56 mark within the video beneath, a close-up of a sticker affixed to the V4 dispenser may be seen, which states a score of 1,000 volts and 615 amps, indicating the potential of 615 kW theoretical functionality on the dispenser stage sooner or later (the identical as in Europe). However for now, they nonetheless draw energy from V3 cupboards.

Hitting these larger speeds and better voltage to help high-voltage battery programs in some EVs just like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Audi E-Tron GT could be a game-changer within the journey towards electrification. Proper now, sluggish charging speeds and lengthy ready occasions for EV homeowners are an actual ache and a giant impediment to wider EV adoption.

Though, it’s unclear if enabling these supercharger stalls for 350 kW would require any extra {hardware}, or if Tesla will push a software program replace to activate it.

When Java plugged in her Mannequin 3, the V4 Supercharger did a strong job, maintaining with the V3’s capabilities. It pumped out 255 kW, juicing up the Mannequin 3 from 20 to 60 % in simply 10 minutes. That is severely spectacular! Trying forward, as soon as they unleash the next energy output, we’re curious to see if the wait occasions for EV homeowners cut back. Charging speeds rely largely on the voltage an EV can settle for, and whether or not it may be sustained for your entire length of charging.

Furthermore, the V4 Supercharger in Atlanta additionally had a devoted charging area for trailers. The V4 cables have immersion cooling—which includes submerging {hardware} parts instantly right into a thermally conductive liquid to dissipate warmth extra effectively—and are able to charging the Tesla Semi, which may settle for one megawatt or 1,000 kilowatts {of electrical} enter.
