These benefits for Tesla Semi customers will be a key part of scaling electric trucking,” Senior Manager for Semi Truck Engineering Dan Priestly said in a post on X. The new V4 cabinet can also enable charging the company’s Cybertruck 30% faster, the company said. Max de Zegher, Tesla’s Director of Charging, North America, highlighted the efficiency improvements of the new V4 Cabinet, saying, “Even some of the small incremental improvements matter. V4 Cabinet has a 2% efficiency improvement. Superchargers already deliver over 5 TWh/year, 100 GWh/year in waste heat that can be saved.” This is equivalent to the annual electricity usage of over 9,000 households in the U.S. on average, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Posts can peak up to 500kW for cars, but we need less than 1MW across 8 posts to deliver maximum power to cars 99% of the time. No more DC busbar between cabinets. Power comes from a single V4 cabinet to 8 stalls. Easier to install, cheaper, more reliable. Even some of the… https://t.co/Tou0tiaBaL
