Tesla’s Powerful Supercharger

Tesla being the most valuable company in the Electric vehicle industry provides very powerful superchargers for its users to charge their cars. So, in today’s video let’s discuss the technology involved behind the superchargers manufactured by Tesla.

A Tesla Supercharger is a 480-volt direct current fast-charging technology built by American vehicle manufacturer Tesla, Inc. for their all-electric cars. The Supercharger network was introduced on September 24, 2012, with six Supercharger stations.[1] As of February 18, 2021, Tesla operates over 23,277 Superchargers in over 2,564 stations worldwide. Supercharger stalls have a connector to supply electrical power at maximums of 72 kW, 150 kW, or 250 kW.

The original V1 and V2 Tesla supercharging stations charge up to 150 kW of power distributed between two cars with a maximum of 150kW per car, depending on the version. On the original 85 kWh Model S, they take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100%. The charging stations provide high-power direct-current (DC) charging power directly to the battery, bypassing the internal charging power supply.

In September 2017, Tesla announced the availability of urban Superchargers. The urban Superchargers are more compact than the standard Supercharger stalls and will be primarily deployed in urban areas such as mall parking lots and garages. Compared to the standard Superchargers, urban Superchargers have a maximum power delivery of 72 kW. Instead of 150 kW distributed between two vehicles at a Supercharger A/B stall pair, each Urban Supercharger stall provides a dedicated 72 kW capacity.

So, I hope you’ve got the basic difference between Tesla’s standard chargers and urban superchargers.

And that’s all from my side today if you’ve got some value then please show some love and followed me and give a clap to the story and that will mean a lot. I will be back with another story very soon till then keep connecting and keep reading.✌️✌️

SEE YA!
