Tesla V4 Superchargers & Kia EV6 charging compatibility question

[SmokyMountain]

Hoping someone with a Kia EV6 can chime in! Looking to use a Tesla V4 Supercharger for the first time. I know V3 chargers limited some EV6 speeds due to voltage differences. Do the new V4s allow the EV6 to charge at full whack, or is there still a bottleneck? Any experiences appreciated!

V4s are still currently using older V3 cabinets. This means they operate at 400 volts, limiting their maximum charging power to 98kW, the same as V2 and V3 setups.

The V4 Superchargers should allow your Kia EV6 to charge faster since they can handle 800V operation. However, you should keep in mind that many current V4 installations still use the older V3 cabinets, which limit the charging speed to 98kW. So, while the V4s have the potential for full charging speeds, you might still encounter some limitations depending on the specific setup. Fingers crossed, we hope more V4 cabinets will roll out soon to fully unlock that charging capability.

Yep, exactly! And since the Cybertruck isn't heading to the UK anytime soon, it'll be a while before we see any 800V-capable Teslas around here.
