| ABB launches cost-effective 20kW DC fast charger for the Americas ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, launched the Terra SmartConnect (SC), a breakthrough product that will significantly improve the business case for installing electric-vehicle (EV) fast chargers throughout North America. The Terra SC will be available for delivery in the Americas in the second quarter. Initial shipments will support the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard, with SAE / Combined Charging System units available later this year. The Terra SC is a cost-effective direct-current (DC) charger specifically designed for convenient fast charging in commercial and office areas. It fully charges an electric car in 30 to 120 minutes, while the driver attends a business meeting, goes to the movies or enjoys a meal. The Terra SC is also ideal for people who want to keep driving but don't necessarily need a full charge: it can charge the battery of currently available EVs from 30% to 80% in less than half an hour. More applications include workplaces, fleet operators, parking operators, rental companies, car dealerships, shopping malls, and the EV infrastructure service providers who serve those applications. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
