Tesla Opens First 500 kW V4 Supercharger in Europe

The next generation of Tesla Superchargers has reached Europe. Although drivers have been using the newer V4 charging posts for some time, the supporting infrastructure has now been upgraded to deliver higher peak charging speeds across the region.

The Real V4 Experience Lands in Norway

A new Supercharger site has opened at 50 Kragerudveien Hellerudsletta, VIKEN in Norway, becoming the first in Europe to feature all-V4 infrastructure. The opening was highlighted on X by @EFIEBER_ANDRE.

Premiere in Europa! 🇪🇺
Der erste „echte“ Tesla V4-Supercharger ist jetzt live: Hellerudsletta, Norwegen. 🇳🇴

28 V4-Ladepunkte, bis zu 500 kW, damit startet Teslas nächste Supercharger-Generation in Europa jetzt richtig.

For some time, Tesla has installed its black-and-white V4 charging posts across Europe and other regions, but many were paired with older V3 or V3+ cabinets, which limited power delivery. The new 28-stall location in Norway matches V4 posts with next-generation V4 Supercharger cabinets, enabling a maximum output of 500 kW. The site is open to both Teslas and non-Tesla electric vehicles.

This hardware approach follows North America, where fully integrated V4 Supercharger cabinets launched last year. The architecture was unveiled in late 2024, with deployment beginning last year and expanding in recent months. Since then, Tesla has discontinued production of V3 Supercharger cabinets and switched entirely to the V4 platform for all future buildouts.

Streamlined Design and Juiced Up Power Output

Each V4 cabinet can distribute power to eight individual charging posts, doubling the capacity of a standard V3 cabinet. This consolidation reduces site footprint, simplifies electrical groundwork, and lowers installation complexity. According to Tesla’s engineering director, Max de Zegher, fully V4 configurations allow Tesla to deploy Superchargers for less than $40,000 per stall.

V4 cabinets provide a peak output of 500 kW, the highest yet for Tesla charging equipment short of the Semi. While most current passenger models cannot draw that much power yet, the Cybertruck can. At fully V4 sites, the Cybertruck can charge at about 1,300 miles per hour, or nearly 2,100 kilometers per hour. As more V4 installations are built across Europe, long-distance travel will be faster.
