We know that the electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Is electric potential also discontinuous there?

Electric potential is not discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Since, electric potential is a scalar quantity and, does not have to represent directions, it is continuous at every point.
