The Unique Features of Tesla V4 Supercharger
The new V4 Supercharger station is intended to be more adaptable, according to Tesla’s regional director, Fan Jingyi. Because of its longer charging cables, owners of different electric car models can use it. The station provides up to 250kW of charging power per vehicle.

This dedication guarantees that Tesla owners will always have access to cutting-edge technologies.
Affordable Charging Fees of Tesla V4 Supercharger
