Tesla Rolls Out Faster Charging for Cybertruck Across All V4 Supercharging Stations

Tesla has officially expanded the faster charging speeds for its Cybertruck to all V4 Supercharging stalls, providing a significant boost in charging capabilities for the electric vehicle (EV). This move follows the initial rollout of quicker charging speeds last month, which was first piloted at select sites with V3 cabinets.

In a post on X on Monday evening, Tesla’s Charging account confirmed that all V4 Supercharging posts now enable Cybertruck owners to charge at speeds of up to 325 kW. This is a significant improvement over the previous charging speeds. The company also announced plans to deploy V4 charging cabinets capable of even faster speeds in the future.

The Cybertruck’s 800-volt architecture allows it to achieve faster charging speeds, distinguishing it from Tesla’s other vehicles, which are limited to a maximum of 250 kW charging speeds, accessible through V3 Superchargers. Once V4 cabinets are fully rolled out, Cybertrucks will be capable of charging at speeds of up to 500 kW, providing even greater convenience for owners.

Tesla’s rollout of V4 Supercharging stations began quietly in 2023, with the company initially testing faster charging speeds through limited trials. Max de Zegher, Tesla’s Charging Director, has noted that the production of pre-fabricated Supercharger stalls at Tesla’s Buffalo, New York factory has enabled faster deployment of charging stations. De Zegher also pointed to cost savings in Supercharger production, suggesting that these savings could result in reduced prices for consumers in the future. In late 2024, many locations reported lower Supercharger prices.

It remains unclear whether non-Tesla EVs, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, will immediately gain access to the 325 kW Supercharging speeds, despite these vehicles also utilizing 800-volt architecture. Tesla’s ongoing expansion of V4 Superchargers includes features like longer cables to accommodate non-Tesla vehicles and improvements in stall availability tracking.
