The primary installations of the all-new V4 Tesla Supercharging dispensers are already underway in at the very least three states (Oregon, Nevada, and Alabama).
A brand new photograph of V4 stalls from Nevada, shared by Mardak on Tesla Motors Membership (TMC) discussion board, reveals to us necessary components featured on the V4 in the US: an built-in CCS1-adapter (aka Magic Dock), a bank card reader and a small show.
The Magic Dock adapter was first launched on V3 Supercharging dispensers to allow non-Tesla drivers to make use of the charging community underneath Tesla’s Supercharging pilot program in North America. As a result of non-Tesla electrical autos are often outfitted with the CCS1 charging inlet (there are some exceptions), whereas the community is natively appropriate with the Tesla-developed North American Charging Normal (NACS) connector, they want an adapter.
Tesla already deployed V3 stalls with Magic Dock at a double-digit variety of Supercharging stations within the US and Canada, and now with the rollout of V4, there can be much more Magic Dock websites obtainable for CCS1-compatible electrical autos.
The authentication and cost when charging a non-Tesla EV was doable by means of the Tesla app. Nevertheless, with the bank card reader and a small show (first used on the brand new V4 dispensers in Europe), quickly clients may get an extra direct entry technique.
This is excellent information, particularly due to the swap from CCS1 to NACS charging normal by different producers, there may be loads of clients who wish to use Superchargers often, with out the need to enroll in the community/creating an account.
After all, as we have stated many occasions earlier than, the V4 with a Magic Dock adapter is a way more pleasant dispenser for non-Tesla drivers than the V3 with a Magic Dock adapter. That is as a result of it additionally has a considerably longer cable, which is critical to succeed in charging inlets in varied places of the car (front-rear, left-right), in comparison with Tesla (all the time situated on the left rear of the automotive).
Apart from the built-in CCS1 adapter, the V4 stalls in North America must be similar to those in Europe (the place each Tesla and non-Tesla EVs are utilizing the CCS2 connector).
Tesla’s first V4 Supercharging stalls, put in in Harderwijk, Netherlands.
The deployment of the V4 now could be progressing globally. In keeping with Teslarati, just lately the primary V4 stalls have been put in in Asia – particularly on Hong Kong Island at Lee Backyard One in Causeway Bay. Tesla began with three V4 dispensers (alongside 12 V3 and 150 Vacation spot Chargers).
In keeping with Tesla, the V4 Superchargers have the identical 250-kilowatt energy output because the V3: “V4 at the moment helps peak charges of as much as 250kW per car and is future-proofed to permit for updates and new options.” Sooner or later, it is anticipated that Tesla will improve the ability output (and voltage to help high-voltage battery methods) of the V4 stalls.
