ABB recently launched the World’s Fastest Electric Car Charger Terra 360. This is a new modular charger which can simultaneously charge up to four vehicles. This means that drivers will no longer have to wait if someone else is already charging. They simply pull up to another plug. Terra 360 has a maximum output of 360 kW and is capable of fully charging any electric car in 15 minutes or less.
“With governments around the world writing public policy that favors electric vehicles and charging networks to combat climate change, the demand for EV charging infrastructure, especially charging stations that are fast, convenient, and easy to operate is higher than ever,” said Frank Muehlon, President of ABB’s E-mobility Division. “The Terra 360, with charging options that fit a variety of needs, is the key to fulfilling that demand and accelerating e-mobility adoption globally.”
“It’s an exciting day for ABB, who as the global leader in electric vehicle fast charging, is playing a key role in enabling a low carbon society,” said Theodor Swedjemark, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer at ABB. “With road transport accounting for nearly a fifth of global CO2 emissions, e-mobility is critical to achieving the Paris climate goal. We will also lead by example by switching our entire fleet of more than 10,000 vehicles to non-emitting vehicles.”
World’s Fastest Electric Car Charger, Terra 360 would be available in Europe from the end of 2021, and in the USA, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions in 2022. Terra 360 has an innovative lighting system that guides the user through the charging process and shows the State of Charge (SoC) of the EV battery and the residual time before the end of an optimal charge session. Terra 360 is also wheelchair accessible and features an ergonomic cable management system that helps drivers plugin quickly with minimal effort.
ABB is a world leader in electric vehicle infrastructure, offering the full range of charging and electrification solutions for electric cars, electric and hybrid buses, vans, trucks, ships, and railways.
