Looks like 100kw less than already existing non-Tesla 350kw chargers.



0 cars currently shipping can handle 350kw charging.

Delivering lot’s of power is fairly strait forward, designing cars to safely handle that is much harder. Further, as infrastructure that needs to work, the 1MW of power supplying these chargers is the more important upgrade as charging multiple cars was already power limited.


250kw is not that much higher than 175kw - https://electrek.co/2018/12/18/audi-e-tron-155-kw-fast-charg...


I don’t know if Tesla’s can do 250kw but that car was maxing out at 155kw charging and averaging below that. Which is my point, getting an affordable car well past 250kw charging is going to be difficult.


There are quite a lot 350kw charger boxes, but unfortunately, most of them still have standard CCS-cables, limiting the maximum current to 200A. This means, for most cars they are limited to about 80kW charging speed (400V). It would be cool though, if Tesla quickly rolled out the software updates to the European Model 3s, as they then could use the 350kW chargers for higher charging speeds as soon as the chargers support higher currents.


Yep, in Europe ionity is building a 350kW charging network. The new Porsche Taycan will supposedly support this. So it makes sense Tesla is stepping up their game.


The essentially marketing chargers that don't actually exists in any wide scale and no cars that actually exists that can use it?
