Tesla Opens More 500 kW V4 Superchargers in U.S.

Tesla is accelerating the rollout of its next-generation charging infrastructure. Its Gigafactory in New York recently assembled its final V3 Supercharger cabinet, marking a full production shift to V4 hardware. With the V3 production line retired after a seven-year run, the company is poised to deploy its most powerful charging technology to date.

According to longtime Tesla watcher @sawyermerritt, there are now four V4 Supercharging stations open across the U.S. that are fully capable of delivering 500 kW charging speeds. These all-white towers are already in service rather than serving as prototypes.

Where to Find 500 kW Superchargers

The expansion has progressed steadily, with the latest sites opening in the past couple of weeks. As of today, the 500 kW-capable locations in the U.S. are:

• Kissimmee, Florida (Opened this week)
• Gatlinburg, Tennessee (Opened last week)
• Taylorsville, Utah (Opened in January 2026)
• Redwood City, California (First site with V4 cabinets and stalls, opened in September 2025)

While these stations can deliver very high power, 500 kW charging is currently only available for the Cybertruck. Owing to its advanced 800V high-voltage architecture, the Cybertruck is the first and only vehicle in Tesla’s consumer lineup able to use this level of power. Owners of the S3XY family will continue to see the familiar 250 kW peak rates available on V3 hardware, which can still add up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes.

The Transition to V4 Everywhere

The first V4 stalls went live in March 2023, but early sites still relied on V3 cabinets behind the scenes. The complete V4 setup requires both the new stalls and the new V4 cabinets, which were officially unveiled in late 2024.

The new cabinets deliver a major efficiency boost. A single V4 cabinet can power up to eight charging stalls, doubling the capacity of the previous generation. A smaller footprint and reduced complexity allow faster deployment at a lower cost — reportedly under $40,000 per stall. They are also designed for better accessibility, featuring cables that are three feet longer than V3 Superchargers to reach various charging port locations, along with ergonomic, easy-grip handles.

A Universal Future

As Tesla continues to open its Supercharger network to other manufacturers, the versatility of V4 hardware will be key. The longer cables make it much easier for non-Tesla EVs to connect without occupying two parking spots. Tesla is also introducing centralized payment kiosks at V4 Superchargers, enabling drivers without a Tesla account to pay as they go.

With Gigafactory New York now 100% focused on V4 cabinet production, these high-speed stations are set to appear widely very soon. Whether you’re driving a Cybertruck or a Model 3, the gold standard of public charging is receiving a significant upgrade.
