ABB to use UK’s premier low-carbon vehicle event to demonstrate how fast charging is the new refuelling
ABB is at the Cenex LCV (Low Carbon Vehicle) event at Millbrook, Bedfordshire on September 12 to 13 2018 for the UK launch of the world’s fastest electric vehicle charger, the Terra HPC (High Power Charger). In addition, ABB will also be showcasing its Terra multi-standard fast-charger and EVLunic AC wallbox for domestic charging.
The Terra HPC was developed to overcome the challenge of range anxiety. It takes only eight minutes to add 124 miles (200 km) to a vehicle’s range – that is enough to travel from the Cenex LCV show in Millbrook to Bristol, from Sunderland to Edinburgh, or from Dagenham to Coventry.
As sponsor of the ABB FIA Formula-E championship, one of the all-electric racing cars will be the central attraction of ABB’s stand to show that we can power the world without consuming the earth.
David Lowen, ABB’s product marketing director for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, said: “Fast charging is the new refueling with the world’s fastest charger, the Terra HPC. In our mission to power the e-mobility revolution, ABB have developed a wide range of charging solutions to suit all types of drivers and fleets.”
With the largest installed base of fast-charging stations worldwide and headline sponsorship of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, ABB has assumed leadership position in electric vehicle charging solutions. Its portfolio includes high-quality AC wallboxes, reliable DC fast charging stations and on-demand electric bus charging systems.
As the latest addition to its range of chargers, the Terra HPC charger was initially developed for Electrify America in the US, where it is now being deployed at hundreds of charging stations in metropolitan areas and along national highways.
Meanwhile, the new EVLunic AC wallbox portfolio, comprised of 52 different types in total, provides a high quality, cost effective electric car charging point for private and business use. Easy to fit and with a compact design, the wallbox can be installed at homes or offices for domestic or commercial uses.
ABB has approximately 8,000 connected, DC fast charging stations installed in 68 countries worldwide, including 1,000 DC Terra HPCs.
