EVwire brief: Tesla's V4 Supercharger technology is now available to eligible U.S. federal agencies through EV charging infrastructure provider Verdek's General Services Administration (GSA) contract, potentially accelerating deployment of charging infrastructure for government fleets.
By offering Tesla's charging hardware through its existing GSA contract, Verdek said qualifying federal agencies can procure the equipment through an established government purchasing framework instead of navigating a new competitive procurement process.
The company said the streamlined approach could reduce deployment timelines from months to weeks, though Tesla will continue reviewing and approving customers participating in its Supercharger program.
The hardware on offer: Tesla's V4 Supercharger, rated up to 500 kW, paired with Verdek's power cabinet under the GSA contract.
The announcement is aimed at federal organizations expanding their electric vehicle fleets, including the Department of Defense and military branches operating vehicles across installations, logistics routes, and mission-critical facilities. As per Verdek CEO Guy Mannino in a press release:
"Reliable charging infrastructure is essential to a successful electrification of the US federal fleets. Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Navy, operate EVs across bases, training facilities, logistics corridors, and mission-critical locations throughout the country. They need charging infrastructure that is scalable, dependable, and supported by a broad national network."
Verdek said Tesla's V4 Supercharger platform can deliver up to 500 kW of charging power and supports both NACS and CCS1 connectors. The company also noted that Tesla's global Supercharger network has grown to more than 80,000 charging stalls, giving government fleets access to one of the world's largest fast-charging ecosystems.
Tesla and Verdek's message to Washington: Superchargers, now orderable off the GSA schedule.
Context:
Tesla's Supercharger network has continued to expand at a rapid pace alongside growing adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS). In the second quarter of 2026, Tesla's Superchargers delivered a record 2.0 TWh of energy, up 30% from a year earlier, added roughly 2,700 stalls, and handled 60 million charging sessions, according to the company's latest quarterly scorecard.
Despite its continued expansion, Tesla's Supercharger network is becoming more efficient. Average daily charging sessions per stall have climbed from roughly 3 to 4 in 2019 to about 8 in 2026, while the percentage of drivers encountering wait times has dropped from peaks of around 2% to 2.5% to just 0.5% to 1%.
