According to an X post on 24 December, the Tesla Superchargers can now pre-heat batteries for Model 3/Y that are standard range, rear wheel drive.
The heating is available at Tesla’s most advanced chargers, the V3 and V4 posts, enabling LFP vehicles to Supercharge up to 4X faster.
Enhancing EV charging
EV charging has evolved over the years, making the process more efficient. For Tesla, charging has come a long way with the introduction of Superchargers which charge a lot faster than previous ones.

However, EV batteries generally don’t last long in extremely cold weather and charging them can be challenging because cold batteries charge quite slowly.
Introducing the preheating feature is therefore a major leap in achieving more efficient charging for Tesla to help EV drivers
Meanwhile, Tesla reached over 60,000 Supercharger stations around the world earlier this year, bringing fast charging to more EV users.
With this achievement, Tesla is currently the biggest EV maker with the highest number of charging Supercharger stations worldwide.
Also on 23 December, the company announced that 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 drivers with NACS native charging ports can now access over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers through the Tesla App.
In addition, drivers with existing CCS charging will have access with a Hyundai approved adapter in Q1 2025.
Advances in battery technology
Tesla has made much progress in battery technology for EVs. It recently patented new cathode material that enhances LFP battery life.
With the patent, Tesla expects to attain superior battery performance and significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing LFP batteries.
It will also increase battery retention, and ensure the batteries last longer with more charge and discharge cycles to ensure battery longevity.
