The long-awaited V4 Tesla Supercharging dispensers are finally arriving in North America after the initial batch was deployed in several European countries.<\/p>\n
According to Tesla Motors Club<\/em> forum, Tesla is installing its first eight V4 stalls at a site in Wilsonville, Oregon. The station is expected to enter service this month.<\/p>\n Another set of V4 Supercharging dispensers was spotted at a site in Sparks, Nevada. A photo shared by C Anagani<\/em> (@anaganicp \/ X) indicates four stalls ready for installation. Also, in this case, the launch of the site might be within days, the report says.<\/p>\n We can’t say for sure, but there is a high probability that there are more V4 Tesla Supercharging installations underway in the United States.<\/p>\n Tesla might be willing to start with a few sites, before accelerating and deploying more and more V4 every month, similar to what’s been done in Europe.<\/p>\n The new V4 type of dispensers are significantly different than the V1-V3 units. Besides the obvious black and white colors (which replace red and white), the V4 stalls are much taller, with a cable attached at the top. This allows for a longer cable to reach the charging inlets of non-Tesla electric vehicles (charging inlets are located in various positions).<\/p>\n We don’t know yet whether the V4 will come with the Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapters, but anyway, the EV industry in North America is preparing for a switch from the CCS1 charging connector to Tesla-developed NACS, hence the longer cable and non-Tesla charging is an important topic.<\/p>\n Equally important is the expected increase in voltage and power of the new stalls (not necessarily right from the start) to support 800-1,000-volt battery systems and provide a power output beyond the current 250 kilowatts (potentially up to one megawatt).<\/p>\n A closer look at the site will be necessary to see whether a contactless bank card reader and a small display also will be used at V4s in North America because in Europe it appears to be the new standard for Tesla V4 stalls.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lNiJrpD2dcY<\/p>\n
