"The Basecharger can deliver up to 125 kilowatts of power, which is not record-breaking by any stretch of the imagination, but it's enough to get a Tesla Semi's range up to 60% in around four hours."
"Just like a regular home EV charger, the Basecharger doesn't need a separate power cabinet to convert alternating current to continuous current, like the car-oriented Supercharger."
"Up to three Basechargers can be daisy-chained on a single breaker, sharing up to 125 kVA, to reduce installation and operational costs."
"A Basecharger starts from $20,000, but companies need to order at least two of them, and the cost doesn't include installation."
Tesla has launched the Basecharger, a new type of DC fast charger specifically designed for electric big rigs like the Tesla Semi. Unlike the V4 Supercharger, the Basecharger does not require a separate power cabinet, making it more efficient for truck depots. It can deliver up to 125 kilowatts of power, allowing a Tesla Semi to reach 60% charge in about four hours. The Basecharger can be daisy-chained to reduce costs and starts at $20,000, requiring a minimum order of two units.
