Previously, we reported that the Cybertruck would be receiving faster charging - up to 500kW at the new V4 Superchargers. V4 Superchargers are currently limited to about 250kW, but that’s soon going to change.
At 500kW speeds, charging times on long road trips will be significantly reduced. While we wait for the software and infrastructure updates needed to enable 500kW charging, Tesla has rolled out 325kW charging for the Cybertruck.
While it doesn’t have as significant of an impact as 500kW, it is still a big step in the right direction. This is one of Tesla's first steps towards using the Cybertruck’s 800V architecture, so we’re excited to see what it can do. Tesla mentioned that the rollout of updated V4 Superchargers is well in progress, but for the moment, only a few sites can provide the faster charging speeds.
325kW V4 Superchargers
This list of 325kW capable Superchargers sites is pretty sparse for now, but we expect Tesla to continue to expand it throughout North America.

We’ll keep an eye on this topic, as we’d love to see how Tesla has improved the 4680 battery cell - now dubbed the Cybercell. It previously had a reputation for charging slowly, leading to Tesla canceling the 4680 Model Y, but now we’re seeing it making a big comeback. Tesla has been hard at work on the Cybercell - it is the Gen 2 version of the 4680, and there are significant engineering improvements behind it.
We’re keeping a close watch on this topic, eager to see how Tesla has refined its 4680 battery cell—now branded the Cybercell. Previously criticized for slow charging, the original 4680 cells even led to the cancellation of the 4680-equipped Model Y. However, the Cybercell is making a strong comeback with the improvements Tesla made to the Gen 2 version of the battery cell.
We’re excited to see how fast the Cybertruck will charge and how it’ll sustain these new charging speeds. We should have more to report on this soon.
