The Interchange map in Escape from Tarkov is known for fast-paced routes, high-value loot, and extract points scattered around the mall. One of the most useful extractions for PMC players is the Power Station V-Ex, a paid vehicle exit that offers a reliable way out—if you reach it before others use it and if you can afford the fee.
While the route has undergone slight adjustments in recent updates, the extraction is still located in the same general area. This guide explains exactly where to find it, how to approach it safely, and what to expect when using it.
What Is the Power Station V-Ex?
The Power Station V-Ex is a single-use vehicle extraction located on the outer section of Interchange. It can be used by up to four players, but once it’s gone, it’s gone. Because it’s paid, you’ll need roubles on your PMC to activate it, and the cost scales with your Scav Karma rating.
V-Ex extracts are great for players who want a predictable way out without fighting through the mall or contesting crowded exits like Emercom or Railway.
Where to Find the Power Station V-Ex on Interchange
The extract is located next to the Power Station building, on the eastern side of the Interchange map near the IDEA anchor store.
Step-by-Step Path to the Extract
If you’re approaching from the back of the mall (near Goshan Garage), follow this route:
- Face the mall’s back entrance where the garage and loading docks are located.
- Keep the mall on your left side and walk straight toward the fenced facility ahead.
- You’ll reach the Power Station gate, which leads into the small compound containing the transformer structures and the power lever used for turning on the mall’s electricity.
- Once inside, instead of stopping at the original V-Ex spot, move forward and then right toward the parked vehicles near the small security booth.
- The black SUV at the far end is your V-Ex. This is the updated location—still inside the Power Station yard but repositioned slightly compared to older patches.
Once activated, the vehicle will idle briefly before leaving the map with you inside.
Pro Tips for Players
Approach from Cover: Use the terrain leading from the mall garage or the bushes near IDEA to avoid long sightlines.
Listen for Gunfire: Many teams fight here early due to the power switch. If you hear action nearby, delay your approach or flank around the outer fence.
Check for the SUV First: If the V-Ex is missing, don’t linger. Rotate to Emercom or Railway Exfil immediately.
Bring Enough Roubles: Always keep extra roubles in your secure container if you intend to use V-Ex exits on Interchange. If you die, you still keep the money.
Why Use the Power Station V-Ex?
This extract is especially helpful for:
- Solo players avoiding late-raid mall PvP.
- Squads who loot IDEA, Goshan, or OLI and want a quick escape.
- Players running LEDX, GPUs, or barter items who don’t want to risk traveling across the map to Railway.
- KIBA runners who have already turned on power and want to extract fast.
While not always available, it provides one of the most efficient and predictable escape options on Interchange when timing lines up. Play Now!
