Tesla has reached a significant milestone with the activation of its first “true” V4 Supercharger on the East Coast in Kissimmee, Florida. This new station, located just south of Orlando, boasts 8 stalls equipped with the latest V4 power cabinets, offering massive charging speeds for high-voltage vehicles.
The V4 Supercharger in Kissimmee is capable of delivering up to 500 kW of power, a significant upgrade for vehicles with 800V architectures like the Cybertruck. Owners of these vehicles can now charge up to 30% faster than at older V3 stations. The new cabinets are also more efficient, supporting up to eight stalls per unit and preparing the network for the future introduction of the Tesla Semi.
In terms of pricing, Tesla owners benefit from a tiered system at the Kissimmee location, paying $0.40 per kWh during peak hours and $0.20 per kWh off-peak. Non-Tesla EV drivers, on the other hand, are charged a premium, with rates set at $0.56 per kWh during peak times and $0.28 per kWh off-peak.
The Florida opening follows similar V4 launches in Redwood City, California; Taylorsville, Utah; and Nashville, Tennessee. As Tesla shifts its Giga New York factory to exclusively produce V4 cabinets, these high-speed Superchargers are expected to become the new standard across North America.
With V4 Superchargers now popping up at popular travel destinations like Yosemite’s Tenaya Lodge and Kissimmee, Florida, the conversation around range anxiety is evolving towards a focus on peak performance. Tesla continues to lead the way in fast-charging technology, providing drivers with convenient and efficient charging solutions for their electric vehicles.
