The V4 Supercharger is also significantly more user-friendly
What sets the V4 Supercharger apart is its remarkable efficiency and user-friendly design. V4 chargers feature an integrated Magic Dock, digital credit card reader and compact display, enhancing the user experience. The design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, with a longer and lighter charging cable for added convenience.
The main feature of the V4 Supercharger is its impressive charging speed. According to YouTuber Kim Java's demonstration, the V4 Supercharger can boost a Tesla Model 3's battery from 20% to 60% in just 10 minutes. This speed is a game-changer in addressing one of the main barriers to EV adoption: slow charging times.
Currently, these chargers draw power from the V3 cabinet, but faster charging is likely in the future. The specifications of the V4 dispenser indicate a theoretical capacity of 615 kW, which can drastically reduce waiting times at charging stations.
This development is particularly important considering the increasing number of high-voltage battery systems in EVs. Faster charging speeds could make EVs more attractive to a wider audience, encouraging a shift to electrification. Besides cars, the V4 supercharger is also equipped to handle larger vehicles like the Tesla Semi, thanks to its immersion cooling feature. This innovation enables the charger to handle the high power requirements of heavy-duty electric vehicles.
