What are the differences between Tesla V3 and V2?
1 Answers
Tesla V3 and V2 have the following differences: 1. Faster charging speed: In May 2019, to meet market demands, Tesla increased the maximum peak power of V2 Superchargers from 120kW to 145kW, further improving charging speed. However, compared to V3 Superchargers with a maximum peak power of 250kW, the charging speed of electric vehicles using V2 Superchargers is significantly slower. 2. Lighter and more flexible: To facilitate use by female owners with less strength, Tesla redesigned the charging gun for V3 Superchargers. By adopting liquid-cooled cables, the diameter of the cable was reduced from 36.3mm in V2 to 23.87mm, making it easier for owners to plug and unplug the charging gun. 3. Added new features: V3 Superchargers come with a new feature called 'On-Route Battery Warm-Up.' During the journey to a V3 Supercharger using the vehicle's navigation, the car will automatically preheat the battery to ensure it reaches the ideal charging temperature at the start of the charging process. According to Tesla's calculations, the combination of V3 Superchargers and the preheating function can ultimately reduce the average user's charging time by 50%.
