The V4 Supercharger introduced this time is a next-generation high-speed charger with Tesla's latest charging technology, extending the cable length to about 3m to support various electric vehicles and supporting a maximum output of 500kW when the V4 cabinet is launched in the future.
In particular, the Gapyeong Rest Area has applied groundbreaking cost reduction methods for sustainable businesses, such as the Pre-assembled Supercharger Unit (PSU) method, in which major charger facilities are assembled in a specially manufactured frame at once and placed on the site.
The V4 Supercharger will be installed at Gapyeong Rest Area, the only rest area on the Seoul Chuncheon Expressway and the nation's largest sales, so that Tesla and all electric vehicle owners who move from the Seoul metropolitan area to Gangwon-do, including Yangyang, Sokcho, and Gangneung, can enjoy more convenient and stable long-distance driving during the summer vacation season.
The supercharger, located in the highway rest area, is expected to further increase the satisfaction of electric vehicle owners as it can solve charging and resting at the same time, especially when traveling long distances by families.
V4 Supercharger is an advanced platform in terms of hardware structure and scalability compared to Tesla's existing V3 Supercharger. Further firmware updates can support charging of more than 300 kW only for specific vehicles, and it also takes into account compatibility with non-Tesla vehicles in the future by applying a longer charging cable.
Tesla Korea is speeding up the expansion of its omnidirectional infrastructure such as stores, service centers, and superchargers to provide owners with a better driving experience, and the installation of the V4 superchargers is also part of continuous investment and improvement centered on customer convenience. In the future, we will continue to innovate the customer experience at all points of contact for a quick transition to electric vehicles
Tesla Korea, meanwhile, ranked No. 1 in domestic import car brand sales for the first time since entering Korea in May, further strengthening its brand status in the overall automobile market beyond electric vehicles.
