Megacharger at Frito Lay

[TSemi]

Not new pics but from a recent article from Drive Tesla Canada some approximate dimensions.

According to the new article “the Megacharger stands a few inches shy of 7ft tall“.

The dimensions may have been posted elsewhere previously but I checked the DTC links about the Megachargers at Giga Nevada and Frito Lay and the dimensions were not mentioned in those pervious articles.

The article is about the new V4 Supercharger and was comparing it to the Megaharger found at Giga Nevada and Frito Lay.

Nice looking charger.....

Is there any real knowledge of what the Tesla Semi battery and charger voltages are?

It is believed that the Tesla Semi will have at least 800V battery architecture. The charger voltage at least 1kV and maybe more.

To be a MCS compatible charger, which it appears Tesla is doing, it has to support voltages up to 1,250 volts. But that doesn't tell us what voltage the Semi will be. (Other than it will likely be less than that.)

Smaller than I was expecting, but then again limited frame of reference.

How large were you expecting and why?

How large were you expecting and why?

I dunno, uh… monster truck bigger I reckon, and because it has a lot of angy pixies and volts in it.

Well, uh...ok I reckon.

Some other Megachargers for reference:

That isn't a MCS charging station, that is just standard CCS. (And it looks like one contains CHAdeMO as well.)

That isn't a MCS charging station, that is just standard CCS. (And it looks like one contains CHAdeMO as well.)

It says this under the pic:
"One of the first megawatt-capable charging stations to offer the MCS connector is Portland’s Electric Island site, developed by PGE and Daimler Trucks North America. It’s ready for a range of heavy-duty electric trucks."

But another earlier article from GreenCarReports says this: "Since the connectors used for now at the station are all CHAdeMO and CCS—and good for 800V—they’ll work on just about any electric car or SUV, too."

You are correct and GCR was a bit misleading from the article I took the pic from.

But I'm still not sure if the charging station in the pic is megawatt-capable. Could be....

Tesla V4 Supercharger design confirmed: Megacharger look-alike-Drive Tesla Canada

Honestly, that news article and the other similar ones I have seen doesn't really confirm anything about "V4" supercharers, just simply a new stall design. Without details, its just speculation.
