ABB launches first 350 kW high power car charger
ABB has launched its newest electric vehicle (EV) charging solution, the Terra HP, the first 350 kW product on the market. Charging time for a range of 200 km is just eight minutes, claims the company.
Ideally suited for use at motorway service and petrol stations, Terra HP’s ultra-high current has the capacity to charge both 400 V and 800 V cars at full power.
The addition of Dynamic DC power sharing technology, allows a two-power cabinet charging system to charge a couple of EVs simultaneously, with up to 350 kW, while dynamically optimizing the available grid connection and the power delivery to the two vehicles.
Additional power cabinets and charge posts can be added after installation, delivering a cost-effective and future-proof solution for expandable charge points that can grow as the EV base grows.
To further improve performance, Terra HP delivers the highest uptime due to redundancy on power and communication, and individually cooled charging cables.
Having proven its paces in numerous commercial electric bus field installations, the power cabinet is also extremely reliable, says the company.
For charging operators, Terra HP provides ABB Ability™ Connected Services, which deliver enhanced functionality, including the ability to easily connect chargers to back offices, payment platforms or smart grids systems.
More importantly, remote diagnostics, repair and over-the-air software updates, minimize downtime and keep running costs low.
Terra HP delivers a number of additional benefits for consumers, including an intuitive, easy to use touchscreen display and multiple payment options.
ABB has provided charging solutions as part of its drive to promote sustainable mobility since 2010 and has sold more than 6,500 cloud connected DC fast-chargers around the world for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
