Tesla Megacharger V4
Tesla's 1.2 MW MCS charger for the Semi, which Tesla says refills up to 60 % of the battery in about 30 minutes. Tesla opened sales to businesses in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the UK on 14 September 2026. electrive reports €163,000 for one cabinet with two posts in Tesla's European configurator and deliveries from mid-2027, but not whether VAT or installation is included, and European service terms are not published yet, so it cannot be fully costed for a depot. Tesla also plans 21 public Megacharger sites in Europe from 2027. The European Semi is quoted at up to 800 kW, not 1.2 MW.
