V4 Tesla Supercharger looks more user friendly + magic dock connector and display (spotted photos)

[scottf200]

The announcement for the CCS adapter was for v3 and up so any of the new stations should work. Seems like the pre 2019 v1 and v2 are the ones that will not work.

You are correct on this, the main reason is that before v3 superchargers Tesla used a proprietary signaling protocol, with v3 they support both the Tesla native protocol and CCS (ISO/IEC 15118 I believe).

Seeing the integrated magic dock on the V4 superchargers is interesting, hopefully the cable is long enough to reach all the way around.

FYI, on where the v1/v2 superchargers are currently located. Map toggles between v1/2 vs all (at the time)

Far better organized and intuitive than most EA and EVgo sites I've seen.

It doesn't look organized when you see it in person. And the pull through slot for trailers will end up with one charger blocked, if you use it with a trailer. But that could easily accommodate two CCS front left ports without trailers.

It also has the four slots that require Teslas to pull in forward, which is backwards from the normal Tesla charger layout. I am sure they did that to accommodate CCS cars though.

Where are you seeing that? I have not found a map I can filter on supercharger version.

This site has 16 total chargers.

This is really what separates Tesla charging locations from EA.

12-16 is on Tesla's smaller side for new sites, and with EA their smaller sites are like 4 where half of them don't work.

A larger site for Tesla is 40+ stalls.

Looks like the orientation and cable length of these will allow charge ports on either side to be used pretty easily. Just thought I’d share a couple pics.

Where is this site located? Wilsonville, Oregon?

The only operational V4 sites that I'm aware of are in Europe.

A map of V3 chargers only would be great. A count of V3 sites and total chargers by state would be icing on the cake. Very useful to project potential future capability apart from V4 or back-fill/replacement.

Yes when I heard they were opening them to CCS I tried doing a couple of trips but had to drill into each site to see if they were 250 kWh or not. They certainly will need to add a filter for version to make sure it is usable.

Just me or does that first pic look like test tubes full of toxic waste? ?

I think radioactive, so you need this:

I created it from filters at supercharge.info

You can go to plug share and filter on Tesla only and 200kw+. That will show you all the 250kw (V3) superchargers. That's what I've been doing.

Tesla has 40 in Dateland AZ, but zero magic docks. They had 36 in Quartzsite AZ, and just added a second site with 84 chargers. Zero magic docks. Each of those locations have 4 EA chargers with basically half operational most of the time.

They're V3 chargers so I'd expect them to add magic docks at some point.

Currently there are zero large (>20 stall) Supercharger sites with magic docks in the US.

Thank you for the update, I was just looking for any Magic Docks between Phx and San Diego, either I8 or I10. That saved me some time. Surprised the new Dateland and Quartzsite locations don't have some....

I hope Tesla or Rivian add charging stops on the way to San Diego! I think the casinos would be great charging stops.

The RAN in Quartzsite is a great location for the I-10. The one in Gila Bend, AZ is an odd spot. They need Yuma/El Centro and/or like you said one of the Casinos' (preferably Golden Acorn) on the 8.
