Tesla has been working on a next-generation V4 Supercharger that could be capable of charging speeds up to 350kW.
This would be a major upgrade from the current V3 Superchargers that are capable of charging speeds up to 250kW.
Thanks to Twitter user @MarcoRPTesla, we are getting details about what the V4 Supercharger will look like.
According to the dimensions that Marco shared, the V4 Supercharger will be taller, and thinner, than the current V3 Superchargers.
The V3 Superchargers stand at about 5ft 5in tall.
As for the V4 design, it looks like Tesla will be using a different shell than the current V2 and V3 models.

While I have yet to determine the new shape, I was able to find the dimensions so that it can be compared to the current model. pic.twitter.com/QQhtDgHfCJ
As for the V4 design, Marco says that Tesla will likely use a different shell than the current V2 and V3 models.
According to Twitter user Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog), V4 Supercharger deployment will start this year, with the first deployments being in Austin, Texas. He also mentioned that they will have a higher max charge rate, as well as both CCS (Combined Charging System) and Tesla connectors.
Offering CCS support would give non-Tesla owners access to Tesla's extensive charging network. The CCS connector has become the standard for electric vehicle charging and support charging speeds up to 350kW.
In addition to the increased charging speeds of Tesla's V4 Supercharger, V3 Superchargers are also expected to support 35% faster charging later this year.
While V3 Superchargers are expected to support charging speeds up to 324kW, V1 and V2 Superchargers will maintain their charging speeds of up to 150kW (shared with adjacent stall).
V4 supercharger deployment starts this year, first locations will be in Austin, Texas. Higher max charge rate and voltage will be supported, as well as both CCS and Tesla cables @elonmusk $TSLA
