- The latest generation of supercharging positions can now deliver up to 325kw
- But Cybertruck is the only tesla vehicle capable of those speeds
- Complete v4 supercharger stations will soon be able to 500kw
Tesla has announced that all v4 supercharging stations in North America are now capable of delivering load speeds of up to 325kw, which is in line with the high -power loaders of the tastes of BP, Chargepoint and Electify America.
The 75KW increase will reduce the amount of time expected to load, but the only model currently capable of accepting this electron rate is the cybertruck, leaving the vast majority of Tesla owners who have to settle for 250kw.
In addition to this, there is still a lot of confusion around the capabilities of the Tesla supercharging network in general, which still includes some of the previous V2 positions, as well as a mixture of v4 positions (the physical thing in which it connects) which are linked) to the oldest V3 cabinets (the important part that manages the delivery of electricity).
That means that the owners of model 3, model S and model and, together with not being able to make the most of the recent update in loading speeds, the experience varying the rates depending on the technology available in a destination.
In spite of this, Tesla says that the state -sighted v4 supercharger positions are already implementing with cabinets that accompany that, according to them, they are able to deliver 500kw, although there is not a single EV publicly for sale today that I can attract that kind of power.
At this time, the 800V electrical architecture and current battery technology are capable of 350kW 450kw speeds in the most extreme cases, with the tastes of Lotus Elestre only that they handle those headline figures when combined with a loading post of specific lotus, of which there are very few.
Analysis: Tesla needs to play when you reach
The news of Tesla supercharger positions will be welcome by EV owners, but ironically, not by the broader community of Tesla.
Most of Tesla’s alignment today can only be charged at a speed of 250kw, which is being rapidly eclipsed by rival manufacturers who have recently made the change to the American load standard (NACS), or the plug that Tesla uses , for you and I.
According to Musk’s last movement, he is helping the future proof of the Supercharger network, which is often considered among the best cargo networks in the world, but is also becoming more relevant to the owners of the rival EVs.
Even the model and recently updated has to settle for the old electrical architecture of 400V, which limits the speed at which it can load, despite the software settings that help reduce load times slightly during the previous generation.
With Cybertruck sales in Wane and Elon Musk shooting most of the team that deals with the supercharger network, the announcement of v4 supercharging positions is probably not something that is too excited about, since it is predicted that the Deployment is slow and Musk has not yet mentioned the adjustment of adjusting the Cybertruck 800V system to other models.
