Tesla unveils folding Supercharger to halve installation time and cut costs 20 percent

Tesla is accelerating the rollout of electric-vehicle charging infrastructure by changing how it installs Superchargers. It has introduced a new Folding Unit system that preassembles eight charging stalls and a power cabinet on a steel base, replacing earlier prefabricated units built around four stalls on a concrete base. Tesla said two units can be loaded on one truck, boosting transport capacity and reducing installation costs by about 20 percent while halving build time.
