Charging station Tesla Supercharger V3 will surpass the power the current generation at least 3 times

Tesla Motors not only failed to prove to the world the prospect of the transition from fossil fuel to electric drive, but also open to owners of electric cars access to all necessary infrastructure. However, with the increasing number of clean vehicles on U.S. roads there is a need not for the trivial increase the number of Supercharger stations, of which there are now 769 — a total of 4876 connection points. We are talking about technical modernization and transition to a new standard that would make "refueling" the battery is comparable to gasoline refueling.



In a recent correspondence with the journalist of the edition Electrek Frederic Lambert (Frederic Lambert) on retrofitting solar panels "columns" Supercharger Mr Musk noted that some of the branded stations already use photovoltaic panels. The project is implemented without the involvement recently acquired by SolarCity, specializing in the efficient conversion of such energy. However, the full deployment of the program on installing solar panels starts with the commissioning of stations of class Supercharger V3.



The mention of the Supercharger V3 not without question about the technical features of this plant, namely its capacity. Currently available to drivers in the U.S. "electrobalance" Tesla are, as a rule, a 120-kW plants, with rare exceptions — 140-kW. According to rumors, the power of the Supercharger V3 may be close to around 350 kW. To find out whether this information is true, Frederick Lambert decided directly from the General Director of Tesla Motors.

"Only 350 kW? Now we're talking about a "child's toy"?", ironically retorted Elon Musk, making it clear that the power of the Supercharger V3 will be much higher included in the question figures.





The Musk has repeatedly identified the reduction carried out at charging stations time to average 5-10 minutes as the primary task facing specialists Tesla Motors. And if you focus on the statements of the founder of the company, the power of the Supercharger V3 could be up to 700 kW. This will allow owners of the Tesla Model S with a battery pack of 90 kWh to fill 80 % of the nominal capacity of the battery for ~10 minutes, whereas now this operation takes at least 40 minutes. published
