Tones of V4 Supercharger Working In Progress

[Woodrick]

Yeah, weren't those the stop gap to qualify for the federal charge infrastructure grants pre-NASC and other OEM's adoption thereof?
Buffalo is the manufacturing location for charging which could explain the northeast bias.
As I recall, they were doing post retrofits at previously installed locations. Without replacing the underground runs, that wouldn't support 800V (assuming they had been using 600V rated insulated wire previously versus XHHW-2 1kV which would have been overkill).

Possibly.
But Cyberrtruck's 800V capabilities have been known for years. And V4s have been deployed for years.
There's some reason why V4s haven't been installed in higher quantity.

There could be regulatory issues blocking the needs for 800V service in many locations, as well as capacity.

Actually, I believe that the answer is no. Charging a Cybertruck from an EA pedestal is not supported.ChargePoint has a 500 kW pedestals listed in their commercial fleet offerings. Momentum Groups has a 360kW.Up until now, it's really been Porsche pushing for 350kW and they put their money behind EA.V4 is not a well defined term. There seems to be multiple pedestals that fit in the V4 concept.And yes, these are all 250kW at this time.There's something up Tesla's sleeve though. Hopefully in the next few months, it will be revealed.

You 100% can charge from an Electrify America unit on the Cybertruck. I have done it.
From my post about it
*******************

Charging on an Electrify America CCS unit right now. Arrived at 40% with the battery preconditioned by putting in a Supercharger as the destination, driving to the Supercharger and then to the Electrify America unit

Saw it hit 162 kW when I first started the charge then quickly went down to 142 kW. Will report the full charge curve when I get home and can snag the data from TeslaMate.

EDIT:

Charge curve from TeslaMate below. Even with the preconditioning of the battery it had the battery heater on from 40% to 70% (the blue line on the graph). Little hard to see the charge rate on the graph, added some different views as well.

And that's what I'm talking about, it's not annoying. In most cases, it is NO DIFFERENT than charging at 240V 48A. (Again, I'm not talking about Cybertruck here)

For most people, the battery will be just as full in the morning at 120V 15A as it is when charging at 240V 48A.

I just find it hard it hard believe that most people can live on a 120 volt 15 amp plug as their primary charging. I am not saying it doesn’t work for you and for others but I have to believe you are a minority when it comes to this.

I am open to any kind of data that shows otherwise. Not that I have data to show my thoughts either I just haven’t met anyone that has said a 120 volt 15 amp outlet is enough for them as primary charging.

.05 to charge at home .36-.38 to charge at supercharger. I installed a wall charger 10%/hr is fine with me. I drive 100 miles per day, i charge each night to 80 just because it's easy. I noticed while on a trip to orlando supercharging seemed to burn out faster also, not sure why. but I got way less MPW than when i charge at home.

Did I say it couldn't be done? No. I chose my words carefully.

Look up the average daily commute. 55 miles Census Bureau Estimates Show Average One-Way Travel Time to Work Rises I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that an average means that half use less.

Just because you haven't seen a million dollars doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Preconditioning for arrival at Superchargers burns up a lot.

When you say things like “unsupported” on here people are going to think you cannot use them.

OK I see the confusion you are confusing the Universal Wall Connector with the mobile charger two totally different chargers. For the record both chargers are included in the Foundation series.

Has anyone received the universal wall connector when they took delivery of the CT? Or received it shortly after delivery? The website makes it seem like the UWC is included with the foundation series independent of any PowerShare “promotion”.

Nah, it's part of the Powershare install, or store credit if Powershare is declined or residence is ineligible.

Jesus H dude, you are exhausting. I was not talking about daily average commute stats. I was talking about the number of people with an EV that only use a 120 volt 15 amp outlet as primary charging. I am not contesting the daily average commute. Not saying it doesn’t work for you. Not saying it doesn’t work for others. I am simply saying that I don’t think it is going to work for most of the population that own an EV. I agree with you 100% that the math you did in an earlier post works out just great for the 15,000 (or under) average annual mileage. All your math/stats about average daily commute is rad and works without a doubt for the 120 volt 15 amp charging 12 hours a night.

I am happy to simply let this be that we disagree about this.

What Mongo said.

I got mine from the installer and actually had it and the Gateway installed before the truck was delivered. Still waiting on Tesla to turn on the Powershare function though. My Gateway and Universal charger are active in the app.

Since there are reasons why things are supported and not supported, that wouldn't be a bad thing to assume.

Most of the population that own an EV don't drive that much.

You are jumping to range anxiety induced conclusions.
