Tesla has extended the deployment of its V4 Supercharger dispensers to encompass two more nations—namely, the United Kingdom and Norway. The expansion follows the establishment of several V4 stations across various European countries, including Austria, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, underscoring Tesla’s ongoing commitment to bolstering its charging network on a global scale.
According to reports from Tesla Owners UK, the latest development in this initiative involved the installation of V4 charging dispensers at the Tottenham Service Centre in the UK. A closer look at images captured on-site reveals the meticulous utilization of available space within the tall, boxy structure of the dispensers, leaving no wastage. The newly incorporated stalls showcase an integrated display system, suggesting the presence of a contactless bank card reader for seamless transactions.

It’s worth noting that the deployment of V4 Supercharger stations is not limited to the current instances in the UK. Plans are in motion to construct another station in Swindon, featuring 16 V4 stalls and a potentially robust power output of up to 350 kilowatts. Such expansion efforts underscore Tesla’s dedication to providing efficient charging solutions for its growing user base.
Meanwhile, in Norway, reports from Esther Kokkelmans confirm Tesla’s development of V4 stalls in Gardermoen. This development, if accurate, marks the establishment of the eighth confirmed V4 site. A notable feature of this upcoming Norwegian installation is its pull-through layout—a design choice that resonates with the preferences of local consumers, particularly those who engage in towing activities.
It is said that this new @Tesla #supercharger in Gardermoen, Norway will be a V4 supercharger!
This would be the eighth V4 supercharger in the world and the first V4 in Norway!
Of course I will keep you posted!@teslaeurope @TeslaClubNorway #TeslaEurope

One prominent attribute of the European V4 dispensers is their compatibility with the CCS2 connector, which Tesla has adopted natively in its newer models since the introduction of the Model 3. This connector is also standard across a range of other all-electric vehicle models, underlining Tesla’s commitment to facilitating interoperability within the broader EV ecosystem.
As Tesla’s V4 Supercharger network expands, North American EV enthusiasts can anticipate its introduction on their home turf. This expansion is set to offer longer cable lengths to accommodate the diverse charging inlet placements of non-Tesla electric vehicles. Moreover, the upgraded system promises a higher power output and voltage, aligning with the capabilities of 350-kilowatt CCS1 chargers—an enhancement that is poised to expedite the charging process for EV owners across the board.
