Tesla’s 500kW V4 Superchargers Are Here And They Work With Cybertruck

The Tesla V4 Superchargers that have been on the way for a good long while now are finally set to arrive following an announcement by the company.

The charging stations have reportedly been deployed over the last two years under the Supercharger V4 moniker but so far only the stalls have been installed.

That meant that the chargers only functioned as Supercharger V3 units thanks to the use of older V3 charging cabinets – the hardware that actually provides the power to the stalls themselves.

Now though, Tesla has officially announced the rollout of the V4 Cabinet with the company promising the ability to provide “up to 500kW for cars and 1.2MW for Semi.”

Electrek reports that there are a handful of features that make the new V4 infrastructure notable.

  • Faster charging: Supports 400V-1000V vehicle architectures, including 30% faster charging for Cybertruck. S3XY vehicles enjoy 250kW charge rates they already experience on V3 Cabinet — charging up to 200 miles in 15 minutes.
  • Faster deployments: V4 Cabinet powers 8 posts, 2X the stalls per cabinet. Lower footprint and complexity = more sites coming online faster.
  • Next-generation hardware: Cutting-edge power electronics designed to be the most reliable on the planet, with 3X power density enabling higher throughput with lower costs.

However, none of this is actually up and running just yet with Tesla saying that it expects the first sites to fully open starting in 2025.
