Tesla unveiled a next-generation Supercharger designed to add up to 75 miles of range in just 5 minutes
By Bryan Logan
Tesla unveiled a next-generation Supercharger that it says will recharge its vehicles faster than ever.
The new V3 unit can charge at a maximum rate of 250kW, according to a press release posted on Tesla's website Wednesday night.
The V3 charger was designed with the Tesla Model 3 sedan in mind. Its newer battery composition can accommodate the newer charger right away, while Model S and Model X vehicles will remain limited to 120kW charging for the time being, The Verge reported. A planned software update will raise that cap to 145kW "in the coming months," Tesla said.
According to Tesla, the new V3 chargers can add up to 75 miles of range to a Model 3 Long Range sedan in just five minutes, and "charge at rates of up to 1,000 miles per hour."
"Combined with other improvements we're announcing today, V3 Supercharging will ultimately cut the amount of time customers spend charging by an average of 50%, as modeled on our fleet data," Tesla said in its statement Wednesday night.
