Tesla is building a network of powerful megawatt chargers to serve its Semi truck after its commercial launch. The 1.2 MW chargers will be designed to serve Tesla's passenger vehicles like the Model Y, too.

Tesla is already constructing the powerful V4 Superchargers that will serve its Semi starting in 2026 when the truck launches commercially.

The 1.2 MW charging piles are designed to be compatible with its fleet of passenger vehicles like the Model Y, too, and the cabinets that will deliver all that power can distribute it on up to 8 stalls at once.

Tesla has already gotten permits for 46 Semi charging locations that it will build this year and in 2026, with a total of more than 300 piles added to its fast charging network.

At the ACT Expo 2025 clean energy conference, the Tesla Semi project lead Dan Priestley said that the new 1.2 MW stations share most of the internal hardware of its current Superchargers, save for the more robust cables and connectors needed for megawatt-level charging.

This will allow Tesla to deploy them with the aforementioned speed of execution, but also at reduced costs hence pricing per kWh, and with the expected reliability and uptime that its Supercharger network is known for.

Meanwhile, Tesla is spearheading its white-label Supercharger projects, giving third-party companies the opportunity to install and brand them, thus taking advantage of various local or federal subsidies and ensuring that its charging network scales faster.

The Hardware Sales program is being detailed at the Power2Drive EV industry event in Munich, where Tesla's Moritz Gutbrod teased that those interested will experience "full control, yet zero hassle" if they want to install and operate Supercharger stations with their own branding and pricing strategy.
