Tesla Kiosk

esla appears to be silently rolling out a significant change to its new V4 Supercharger stations: the removal of individual credit card terminals in favor of a centralized payment hub.
New photos and reports indicate that at select new V4 sites, the individual contactless payment readers, previously a hallmark of the V4 stall design, have been removed. In their place stands a single standalone kiosk that serves the entire cluster of chargers.
For the last year, V4 Superchargers have been rolling out with a small screen and a credit card reader built into every stall. This was a response to government regulations (such as the NEVI program in the US and similar laws in Europe) that require on-site payment options for drivers who don’t want to use an app.
Tesla’s move toward centralized payment kiosks isn’t just a hardware change—it’s a strategic shift to:
  • cut costs

  • reduce maintenance pain points

  • comply with payment rules

  • encourage app adoption

  • and manage a growing, multi-brand charging ecosystem more cleanly.
