ABB launches charging solution for EVs in India

 
New Delhi, September 24, 2018 
 
ABB has launched its most economical charging solution for electric vehicles in India. The new 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. The latest addition further strengthens ABB’s comprehensive portfolio of smarter building solutions from lighting to heating, music, security and car charging.
 
Easy to fit and with a compact design of 50 by 25 cm2, the wallbox can be installed at homes or offices. It is particularly suited to businesses that wish to provide overnight charging facilities for customers, such as those in the hospitality business. ABB is the only company that has the technology to create a robust eco-system for electric mobility across the electrical value chain from the grid to cars/buses to homes and factories.
 
Frank Mühlon, Head of ABB’s Global Business for Electric Vehicle Charging, said: “With the continued growth in sales of hybrid and battery powered electric cars, businesses and drivers are looking for simple and cost-effective vehicle charging solutions. Charging should not be an interruption to the day, which is why we have extended our portfolio with the AC wallbox, which is simple to install and use at home or work.”
 
For the first time in India, ABB recently showcased the Terra HP fast-charging system, which can power up a car for 200 km in just a single 8 minute charge, at the recently concluded MOVE Summit. Demonstrating its commitment to clean energy and sustainable transportation, ABB has also installed a Terra 53 fast charging station for electric vehicles at NITI Aayog’s office in the heart of New Delhi.  
 
“ABB is proud to partner India’s journey in electric mobility – from super-fast chargers for cars to bus-stop charging solutions for buses and now wall-mounted charging solutions for homes and offices, we have the widest portfolio of charging solutions in the market. With best in class global technology made in India, we want to improve the quality of commuting for millions of citizens with affordable and pollution-free, clean technology,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director, ABB India. 
 
Manufactured with a robust all-weather enclosure for indoor and outdoor use, wallboxes are available in different versions, offering 4.6 and 11 kW AC charging as well as 22 kW AC 3-phase charging. As with all ABB products, expert assistance with fitting and maintaining the wallboxes is only a phone call away through the company’s global technical support services.
 
Compatible with the industry standard Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), the ABB AC wallbox is future-proof and enabled for authentication and load balancing.
 
For added flexibility, the wallboxes offer a range of connector types including type 2 socket, type 2 socket with shutter and type 1 and type 2 cable. For locations where wall mounting is difficult, a range of pedestals are available including one charger, two chargers back to back or two chargers in a 90 degree angle. Wallboxes are also available with or without an energy meter, load balancing, back office integration and UMTS/3G modem.
 
Other key optional features include Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and key authorisation for increased security; sim card models for data communication; input current limiting software to match site requirements; communication interface for intelligently controlled charging and web tools for statistics, configuration and access management.
