V3 is a completely new architecture for Supercharging. A new 1MW power cabinet with a similar design to Tesla's utility-scale products supports peak rates of up to 250kW per car. At this rate, a Model 3 Long Range operating at peak efficiency can recover up to 75 miles of charge in 5 minutes and charge at rates of up to 1,000 miles per hour.
At the Taipei International Auto Show in December, Tesla announced that it plans to increase the total number of Supercharger installations in Taiwan to 25 in 2020. The company remains true to its statement and has already installed 19. By the end of 2020, the country should have the declared number of branded charging stations, but it remains unknown how many of them will be V3.
