The Tesla battery station performed a few swaps and was discontinued shortly afterwards. "Urban" Supercharger posts were introduced in September 2017. These more compact posts have a maximum power delivery of 72 kW but do not share equipment with other posts, allowing the maximum power to be delivered. These more compact posts are primarily deployed in urban areas such as shopping malls, parking lots, and garages. V3 stations were introduced in 2019 and could deliver up to 250 kW. Up to four posts can share
