FREMONT, CA - AUGUST 16: Jinyao Desandies (R) and Dandre Desandies (L) plug the Tesla Supercharger into their Tesla Model S sedan outside of the Tesla Factory on August 16, 2013 in Fremont, California.
Tesla said that the upcoming Supercharger V4 is a part of its new station that will be constructed in Danvers, Massachusetts.
After the giant automaker confirmed this new charging station, enthusiasts claimed that the V4 model will offer a clean look that is somehow similar to the existing Tesla Superchargers.
Now, is the new Tesla Supercharger V4 the long-rumored refresh model?

However, it is still unclear of the newly leaked design is for this upcoming model. The blueprint showing the new Supercharger V4 was leaked by John Harris, an IT professional.
"Tesla supercharger site plans for Danvers, MA appear to now include references to "Alternative Supercharger Posts" in addition to v3 posts," said the leaker.
Tesla supercharger site plans for Danvers, MA appear to now include references to "Alternative Supercharger Posts" in addition to v3 posts. This is probably still a v3 build, but this suggests v4 sites are on the way 😍

He added that the blueprints seem like they are still for the existing Tesla Supercharger V3s.
However, there are some illustrations showing the new V4 model. Of course, there are some individuals who don't believe that the blueprints are for the new Supercharger V4s.
In the comment section, a Twitter user said that Alternative Piles look like the Urban 72kW Supercharger units.
I don't believe it is because these Alternative Piles are 6' 4.5" and the Urban 72 kW Superchargers are extremely short. Much shorter than what these plans say for the Alternative

He added that are shorter compared to the plans shown in the leaked blueprints.
Longer Charging Cable and Other Details
Based on the blueprints provided by Harris, the new Tesla Supercharger V4 model is integrated with a longer charging cable.
If this is true, then the new Alternative Tesla Supercharger Post will allow owners to easily charge their zero-emission vehicles since the charging cable can reach more distance.
Another change revealed by the blueprint is the lack of inner opening in the actual Supercharger post. Because of this, the longer charger cable is left in the open without any protection.
This may be an issue, especially during extreme rains, heatwaves, and other bad weather. If you want to see more details about the new Supercharger V4, you can visit this link.
Previously, the automaker announced that non-Tesla Supercharger stations will soon roll out across the U.S.
On the other hand, the Tesla Supercharger network reaches a new milestone.
