Tesla has revealed that it can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days.
Anyone who knows anything about deploying EV fast-charging stations knows just how impressive that’s.
Deploying EV fast-charging stations is rather more complex than most individuals think.
Once Tesla knows it needs or wants to open a recent Supercharger in a specific area, it must find a property to construct it on and get the property owners to conform to a contract.
It needs to construct the Superchargers.
Then, the automaker must design the project and get it approved by the municipality and the local electric utility. Electrical upgrades from the ulitiy are sometimes needed to support the high power demand of greater charging stations. Then, Tesla must schedule contractors to do the installation and work with the local utility to get it activated.
A project can see a significant delay if Tesla runs into a difficulty with just considered one of those steps.
In order to speed up its Supercharger installations, Tesla began constructing pre-fabricated Superchargers a few years ago. In 2022, the automaker showed that it could construct a 12-stall Supercharger station in just 8 days with those.
Now, it looks like Tesla was in a position to optimize its pre-fabricated Supercharger units with Supercharger V4 to now deploy a recent station in just 4 days:
Tesla makes concrete slabs with holes and conduits for the cables and install the Supercharger stalls and cabinets on them on the factory – drastically slashing the installation time at the positioning.
The automaker is currently greatly accelerating its Supercharger deployment in order to support the growing number of individuals using the charger network because it opens as much as non-Tesla EVs.
