Tesla Launches New V4 Supercharger Stations That Fold - CleanTechnica

Tesla is introducing its new V4 Supercharger stations, marking a significant upgrade from the previous V3 models after more than seven years and 15,000 units deployed. The V4 Superchargers can deliver up to 500 kW of power per vehicle, a tenfold increase compared to earlier 50 kW chargers, and up to 1.2 MW for the Tesla Semi. This enhancement represents a major milestone in fast-charging technology, supporting faster and more efficient electric vehicle (EV) charging. A key innovation in the V4 design is the "foldable" station platform, which allows the Supercharger stalls to be arranged either back-to-back or extended into a single row twice as long. Each station includes eight stalls, and this foldable design improves logistics by enabling 33% more units per delivery truck, reducing installation costs by 20%, and doubling deployment speed. These improvements reinforce Tesla’s Supercharger network as a critical asset in accelerating EV adoption, especially as the stations
