I've seen Tesla's small urban quick charger 'Urban Supercharger' first appeared in Japan
Tesla has set up the 20th domestic quick charger 'supercharger' station in Kyoto. Since it is said that the first slim type quick charger ' Urban Supercharger ' was introduced outside of North America, I immediately saw it and experienced quick charging.

The four urban superchargers are located at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto.
This is the 'Urban Supercharger' that has been changed to a design that demands space saving.
Compared to the staff who is 176 cm tall, it looks like this. It is about two times smaller than the existing supercharger.
The usage is exactly the same as the existing supercharger. The state of charging is like this.
The charging plug is exclusively for Tesla. Pull it out of the station.
For all Tesla cars, the 'left rear turn signal lamp' is unified to the plug insertion port. Point the plug at the left rear turn signal lamp and press and hold the button to reveal the outlet.
All you have to do is plug it in. It is OK if you change from standby mode (light blue) to charging mode (green).
To unplug it, just press and hold the button to enter standby mode and unlock it.
The output of the urban supercharger is 75kW, which is a modest charging speed compared to the supercharger. However, the situation of 'charging 200km' on the go only changes for a few minutes, so the practicality is not impaired.
It is said that more than 1,300 Tesla superchargers have been installed worldwide so far. The memorable 20th supercharger station Urban Supercharger in Japan, located at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto, will be generally available from December 19, 2018.
Tesla has selected the location where the charging station should be installed based on the driving data, and at least 6 supercharger stations are scheduled to be installed in 2019. In addition, it seems that the supercharger capable of high-speed charging of 120kW and the slim urban supercharger will be mixed appropriately according to the characteristics of the installation location.
