ABB Launches World's Fastest Electric Vehicle Charger

ABB Launches World's Fastest Electric Vehicle Charger

• 100km range in less than three minutes
• Single charging unit specially designed to charge four vehicles simultaneously
• Ideal for refueling stations, city charging stations, parking lots and fleets

ABB today launched its innovative, all-in-one Electric Vehicle (EA) charging unit, which provides the fastest charging experience on the market.

ABB's new product, Terra 360, is a modular charging unit that can charge four vehicles simultaneously with dynamic power distribution. This means that while one vehicle is currently charging, another vehicle does not have to wait for charging. The new charger has a maximum output of 360 kW and means it can fully charge any electric car in 15 minutes or less, during grocery shopping or a coffee break.

“As public policies are being drawn up around the world to support electric vehicles and charging networks to combat climate change, the demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure is higher than ever, especially for fast, convenient and easy-to-use charging stations,” said Frank Muehlon. Head of ABB's E-mobility Division. "With charging options to suit a variety of needs, the Terra 360 is key to meeting this demand and accelerating e-mobility adoption globally."

“This is an exciting day for ABB as the world leader in electric vehicle fast charging, playing a key role in enabling a low-carbon society,” said Theodor Swedjemark, ABB Communications and Sustainability Officer. Given that road transport accounts for around one-fifth of global CO2 emissions, e-mobility is critical to meeting the Paris climate target. We will set an example by converting our entire fleet of more than 10 thousand vehicles to emission-free vehicles."

Available in Europe from the end of 2021 and in the US, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions in 2022, Terra 360 was designed with the daily needs and expectations of EV drivers in mind. Leveraging the rich field experience gained by ABB E-mobility's large installed base, Terra 360 offers comfort, ease of use and a sense of familiarity alongside speed and convenience.

The innovative lighting system guides the user through the charging process, showing the State of Charge (SoC) of the EV battery and the time remaining before the end of the optimum charging session. The world's fastest EV charger is also wheelchair accessible and features an ergonomic cable management system that helps drivers charge quickly and easily with minimal effort.

In addition to meeting the needs of dedicated EV drivers at gas stations, convenience stores and retail outlets, Terra 360 chargers can also be installed at an organization's commercial facilities to charge electric fleet cars, pickup trucks and trucks. This gives it the flexibility to charge four vehicles at once in one night, or to quickly recharge electric vehicles during the day.

Since Terra 360 charging units take up little space, they provide significant advantages for small warehouses or areas. Terra 360 chargers are fully customizable. Customers can tailor the chargers to their brand, using different skins or changing the color of the LED light strips to personalize the look. In addition, the option to add a 27” advertising screen to play videos and images maximizes the customer experience.
