V2 or V3?

[Michelle_eriw]

How can you tell whether a Supercharger is V2 or V3?

If you're near v3 will have a thinner cable.

Tesla nav will say "Up to 250kw" if it is v3 when you click on the location. You can also go to supercharge.info and click on one and see if power is 250kw.

Thanks.

150 is V2, then?

What are 120 and 72? And what about those where the Kw is not shown?

150kw is v2.
120kw is earlier v2 or v1 (I'm not 100% sure on this), but there are very few v1s out there
72kw are urban superchargers that do not split the charge, more info: Tesla unveils new 'urban' Supercharger with a slower dedicated charge rate - Electrek

"Though the capacity of current Supercharger stations can be split between two stalls and therefore, depending on how many vehicles are at a Supercharger station, it can affect the charging rate.

Those new stations have a dedicated charging capacity of 72 kW per stall – meaning that the overall charging capacity of the station stays roughly the same as the non-urban Superchargers."

Thanks again.

The easiest way by sight is the V3 don't have the number/letter (B1) identifier on the pedestals.

V3 pedestal has a fan in it. V2 is silent.

V2 has a silver ring where cord meets plug, V3 has a black ring.

V2 chargers all have female names; V3 are all male names
