350 kW EV charger launched

ABB has launched its latest EV charging solution, Terra HP, at Hannover Messe. By operating at powers of up to 350 kilowatts, the new charger is said to add up to 200 km of range to an electric vehicle in eight minutes. The charger is particularly suitable for use at highway rest stops and petrol stations.

ABB was recently selected for use by Electrify America, the biggest electric vehicle infrastructure project to date in the United States. The company has more than 6500 DC fast charging stations installed in 60 countries.

The company’s product portfolio, which includes charging technologies for electric cars, buses and trucks, as well as solutions for the electrification of ships, railways and cableways, firmly establishes it as a global champion in e-mobility. To further showcase its e-mobility leadership through its partnership with Formula E, the world’s first fully electric international FIA motorsport series, a Formula E race car and driving simulators will be on display to visitors to the ABB booth.

B&R, a leading solutions provider for machine and factory automation worldwide, will be participating for the first time at the ABB booth, after being acquired in July 2017 and now integrated into ABB’s Industrial Automation division as its global Machine & Factory Automation business unit.
