The Swiss engineering company, ABB, has launched the world’s fastest electric car charger. The company’s new Terra 360 modular charger can charge up to four vehicles at once.
This means that drivers will not have to wait if somebody else is already charging ahead of them. They simply pull up to another plug. The new ABB charger has a maximum output of 360 kW and is capable of fully charging any electric car in 15 minutes or less, meeting the needs of a variety of EV users, whether they need a fast charge or to top their battery up while grocery shopping.
The device, which can deliver 100km of range in less than 3 minutes, will be available in Europe and the United States by the end of the year. Latin America and the Asia Pacific regions are due to follow in 2022.
Its innovative lighting system 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.
The world’s fastest EV charger is also wheelchair accessible and features an ergonomic cable management system that helps drivers plug in quickly with minimal effort.
Leveraging the rich field experience gained by ABB E-mobility’s large installed base, the Terra 360 delivers speed and convenience along with comfort, ease-of-use and a sense of familiarity.
ABB has seen rising demand for chargers and has sold more than 460,000 electric vehicle chargers across more than 88 markets since it entered the e-mobility business in 2010.
