- The latest generation of compressor stands can now deliver up to 325 kW
- But cybertruck is the only Tesla vehicle capable of these speeds
- Complete comprestic stations of V4 will soon be capable of 500kW
Tesla has announced that all V4 compressor stations in North America are now capable of providing load speeds up to 325 kW, which allows the network increasingly in accordance with high power chargers, loading EMERICA load and electrification.
The 75 kW increase will reduce the waiting time to take care of, but the only model currently capable of accepting such an electron rate is cybertruck, leaving the vast majority of Tesla owners to be feared with 250 kW.
In addition to that, there is still a lot of confusion surrounding the capacities of the compressor network of Tesla in general, which still includes some of the previous V2 stands, as well as a mixture of V4 stands (the physical thing you connect) which are Linked to older V3 cabinets (the important part that manages the delivery of electricity).
This means that the owners of the model 3, the S model and the Y model, as well as not to be able to make the most of the recent upgrading of load speeds, the variable experience depending on the technology available in a destination.
Despite this, Tesla says that he already deploys the V4 compressor stands of the latest generation with cupboards who accompany her who claim to be able to provide 500 kW, although there was not a single EV publicly in Sale today that can draw this kind of power.
Currently, 800 V electrical architecture and today’s battery technology are capable of speeds from 350 kW to 450 kW in the most extreme cases, with the tastes of the Lotus Eletre which only managing these Title figures when associated with a specific lotus load stand, of which there is very little.
Analysis: Tesla must play catching up
The news of the faster Tesla compressor will be welcomed by the owners of electric vehicles, but ironically, not by the wider community of Tesla itself.
Most of today’s Tesla range can only charge a rate of 250 kW, which is quickly overshadowed by rival manufacturers who have recently made the transition to the North American load standard (NACs) – or to the take that Tesla uses, for you and you.
Admittedly, Musk’s latest decision helps to imply the compressor network to future, which is often considered among the best load networks in the world, but it also becomes gradually more relevant for owners of rival electric vehicles.
Even the recently updated model must still be satisfied with the old 400 V electrical architecture, limiting the speed at which it can load, despite software adjustments helping to slightly reduce charging times during the previous generation.
With cybertruck sales on the Wane and Elon Musk who draw most of the team that takes care of the compressor network, the announcement of the V4 compressor stand is probably not something too excited, because the Deployment should be slow and that Musk A does not mention the assembly of the 800 V system of Cybertruck to other models for the moment.
