ABB Terra 360 all-in-one electric vehicle charger

The ABB Terra 360 all-in-one electric vehicle charger is a modular charger which can simultaneously charge up to four vehicles with dynamic power distribution. 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 charger has a maximum output of 360 kW and according to the company is capable of fully charging any electric car in 15 min 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 charger’s 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 fast EV charger is also wheelchair accessible and features an ergonomic cable management system that helps drivers plug in quickly with minimal effort.

As well as serving the needs of private EV drivers at fuelling stations, convenience stores and retail locations, Terra 360 chargers can also be installed on an organisation’s commercial premises to charge electric fleet cars, vans and trucks. This gives owners the flexibility to charge up to four vehicles overnight or to give a quick refill to their EVs in the day. Because the chargers have a small footprint, they can be installed in small depots or parking lots where space is at a premium.

Terra 360 chargers are fully customisable. To personalise the appearance, users can ‘brand’ the chargers by using different foiling or changing the colour of the LED light strips. There is also the option to include an integrated 27″ advertisement screen to play video and pictures.
