Tesla\u2019s Supercharger network is arguably the world\u2019s largest EV charging chain, with over 40,000 stalls globally that offer up to 250 kW of power. But it\u2019s not perfect, and Tesla drivers who tow frequently know it better than anybody else.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, a Tesla<\/a> Supercharger location has its charging posts installed in such a way that you need to pull in or back into the parking space. This isn\u2019t ideal for those towing a trailer, as the trailer might block access to the other charging stalls, depending on how the driver chooses to park the car.<\/p>\n

If the location is full, as is sometimes the case<\/a>, the trailer might even have to be unhitched, which isn\u2019t exactly comfortable. But with a new lot design shown by Tesla, this won\u2019t be necessary anymore.<\/p>\n

Published in a Tweet on the company\u2019s TeslaCharging <\/em>account, the redesigned Supercharger lot that was opened in Kliplev, Denmark<\/a> has a total of 24 posts, 8 of which are in the middle of the lot, allowing drivers to pull through and allowing sufficient space for trailers.<\/p>\n

All of the stalls are of the V3 variety and are capable of delivering up to 250 kW to both Tesla EVs and other, non-Tesla vehicles with CCS compatibility. In other words, it\u2019s one of the lots that are part of the company\u2019s pilot program<\/a> that allows any type of EV with a CCS plug to recharge at its locations.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting design that seems to maximize available space, but as one commenter pointed out on Twitter, it isn\u2019t the first Supercharger lot that offers pull-through parking. A similar location was spotted in Manteca, California, where the Perimeter Drive location<\/a> has 20, 150 kW stalls arranged in such a way that allows pulling through with a trailer. There\u2019s even a photo posted on Google Maps<\/a> showing a Model Y<\/a> charging with a trailer attached.<\/p>\n

With Tesla ramping up production and deliveries, while also preparing the launch of the Cybertruck<\/a> and new Roadster<\/a>, it was just a matter of time until it came up with new and improved designs for its Supercharger lots.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on this new design? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
