Tesla is currently at 250kw with the v3 superchargers, but it's been said they can handle more and are about to be software upgraded to 300kw. A v2 supercharger is capable of 150kw.
Electrify America's are supposedly capable of 350kw but there isn't really an EV in existence yet that can hit it.
- AYBABTME 5y agoCan't the Ioniq 5 take 350KW? The car can be purchased today in Korea, I see many in the roads. Coming to the US in the falls.
- theluketaylor 5y agoIonic 5 peaks at about 230 kW. Getting that much power in does require using high voltage, like the 350 kW EA cabinets.
- AYBABTME 5y agoThe problem probably lies not with the car's capabilities but the charger not providing 800V?
- theluketaylor 5y agoEA and Ionity chargers are capable of up to 1000V. It’s a question of battery size. You can only safely stuff so much power into each cell along with cooling limitations. 230 kW is nothing to sneeze at and ionic 5 sustains >200 kW longer than model 3
- shmoe 5y ago.. yet the model 3 still charges faster due to the efficiencies of a smaller pack.
- thebooktocome 5y agoThe Porsche Taycan does hit 350kw, assuming the battery is preconditioned. I charged one at an EA station last month.
- theluketaylor 5y agoTaycan max is 270 kW. It does require using the 350 kW cabinet, but it can't max it out.
- thebooktocome 5y agoHuh. The GUI must have lied to me. Annoying.

- Symbiote 5y agoSearching for electric bus chargers shows several in use in Europe at 300-500kW.
- shmoe 5y agoFair enough, I was considering personal transit. These are like the equivalent of the "megacharger" that's coming for the Tesla Semi.
- Robotbeat 5y agoRight, and Tesla does charge their Semi prototypes with an adapter that uses a few Supercharger plugs at once.
- shmoe 5y agoYup.. I think its up to like 3-4 stalls' connectors used now.. crazy :)
- Robotbeat 5y agoKind of makes sense, actually. They already mass produce the stalls and the Supercharger network already exists. A Megawatt-level plug would be pretty hefty, but just using multiple Supercharger plugs is straightforward.
- shmoe 5y agoI still see them placing dedicated megachargers along the pilot routes for the companies that are taking delivery initially as well as at their distribution locations, as they sell even more consumer Tesla's it won't be cool to have trucks taking up half the stalls for sure, but in the beginning no problem.
