That being said, older Teslas will not see much benefit from the faster V3 Supercharging compared to the 150 kW enjoyed on V2 Supercharging stations because their onboard hardware simply won’t support the higher speeds. It then matches the power it pushes out to the maximum charging rate the car can handle to ensure the car gets the fastest charge possible every time. The intelligent stations then talk with the car to determine the maximum charge the vehicle is capable of receiving as the session starts. Just like with previous versions of Tesla’s Superchargers, any of Tesla’s vehicles capable of Supercharging can charge at the new V3 stations.

This is then split amongst four Supercharging stalls, with no need to share. To achieve 250 kW charging, Tesla brought a new 1 MEGAWATT (1,000 kW) backbone to the party. Just plug in and start gulping down power as fast as the station and car can handle. No more sharing power or having to check to see which charging pair you’re plugging into at a Supercharger. The new V3 stations, on the other hand, get their own dedicated 250 kW feed. If a single vehicle is charging, it can pull down the full 150 kilowatts, but if a second vehicle plugs in, that 150 kW feed is shared between the two vehicles. The previous generation Superchargers utilize a single 150 kW backend that is shared between two charging stalls. The biggest improvement with the new V3 Supercharging stations is their dedicated 250 kW power feeds for each station. We’re summarizing a few of the notable differences between Tesla’s latest Superchargers and the previous generation in this article. While the basic functions of the V3 Superchargers are the same as previous generations, there are some subtle differences, so CleanTechnica hit the road to put the new stations to the test. Earlier this year, Tesla launched the third version of its Supercharging stations.
