Tesla has expanded its next-generation Supercharger network with the opening of a new V4 site in Kissimmee, Florida. The station, the first true V4 Supercharger on the U.S. East Coast, is capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 500 kW.
The Kissimmee location features eight charging stalls and becomes the fourth “true” V4 Supercharger in the United States to pair V4 posts with upgraded V4 power cabinets. At this particular station, Tesla owners can charge for $0.40/kWh during peak periods, dropping to $0.20/kWh off-peak, while non-Tesla EV drivers pay $0.56/kWh, or $0.28/kWh during off-peak hours.
With this latest opening, Tesla now has four 500 kW-capable V4 Supercharger sites live across the U.S.:
- Redwood City, California (September 2025)
- Taylorsville, Utah (January 2026)
- Nashville, Tennessee (March 2026)
- Kissimmee, Florida (March 2026)
What is a “true” V4 Supercharger?
While Tesla has installed V4 posts at locations for the past several years, only a handful qualify as “true” V4 sites. Earlier deployments relied on legacy V3 cabinets, limiting output and leading to what many referred to as “V3.5” stations.
These newer installations include V4 cabinets with updated power electronics that support higher-voltage architectures—up to 1,000 volts—unlocking the full 500 kW potential. The V4 cabinets also have a smaller footprint and support 8 stalls.
Who can actually charge at 500 kW?
At present, the Cybertruck is the only Tesla vehicle capable of reaching 500 kW charging speeds, thanks to its 800-volt battery architecture. Even then, peak charging rates at 500kW are brief and taper quickly, similar to what drivers experience at existing V3 Superchargers.
Other Tesla models—including the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X—remain capped at around 250 kW due to their lower-voltage battery systems. However, Tesla is clearly preparing its network for the next generation of EVs, as more automakers move toward higher-voltage platforms.
True V4 Supercharger rollout
Behind the scenes, Tesla is preparing for a much broader rollout. The company’s Giga New York is now focused solely on producing V4 Supercharger cabinets, building the last V3 cabinet just a few days ago. With the legacy cabinets now being retired, that means 500 kW capable stations will soon become far more common.
It is also good news for Canada, as future stations north of the border will also soon be true V4 stations with 500kW peak charging, likely as soon as this summer or fall.
