Tesla brings with its new 500kW Superchargers a revolutionary charging infrastructure to be launched in the third quarter of 2025. These next-generation chargers are not only more powerful - they also offer a more cost-efficient solution for charging electric vehicles, especially Cybertrucks. In this article, you will learn all about the technical innovations, the advantages of the V4 Cabinets and the impact on future Tesla-models.
500kW charging power and the Cybertruck
The new next-generation Superchargers are designed to provide the Cybertruck with an impressive charging power of up to 500kW. Here are some highlights:
-
Optimized charging times:
By switching from the previous 325kW to 500kW, Cybertruck drivers can benefit from a charging time of 10% to 80% SoC in under 30 minutes - a significant advance for vehicles with a 123kWh battery. -
Improved charging performance:
The ability to maintain high charging power levels over a longer period of time ensures a smoother charging process and reduces charging interruptions.
Innovative V4 Cabinets and their advantages
A central element of the new infrastructure is the V4 Cabinet:
-
Increased number of charging points:
With a design that supports up to eight charging posts, halved Tesla the installation effort and creates a more compact, efficient solution. -
Fast and cost-effective installation:
With pre-installed Supercharger posts on factory-made concrete bases, installation costs per post can be reduced to under €40,000 - compared to significantly higher costs with other providers. -
Technical advancement:
The integration of the V4 Cabinets allows even more power to be delivered to each individual charging point, making the entire charging infrastructure future-proof.
Cost optimization and increased efficiency
Tesla focuses on optimizing production and installation processes:
-
Economic advantages:
The lower costs per load post make it possible to Tesla, expand the network more quickly and achieve savings for end customers in the long term. -
Scalable solution:
With the new technology, future Teslavehicles with 800V high-voltage architecture can also benefit from the 500kW Superchargers - an investment that translates into an expanded and cost-efficient charging network.
Outlook and conclusion
With the launch of the 500kW Superchargers in the third quarter of 2025 Tesla is taking another decisive step towards a powerful and future-proof charging infrastructure. These innovations, from the high charging capacity to the optimized installation, not only offer advantages for the Cybertruck, but also for future Tesla-models. Experience how Tesla is paving the way to faster and more efficient electromobility with modern technologies - and be excited to see what developments await you in the future!
