Nowadays, electric vehicles have been widely recognized in the market. Many cities have taxis and buses equipped with electric vehicles. Many vehicle owners are considering replacing electric vehicles. However, the time required for charging is not allowed to be hesitant. Recently, the Swiss company ABB announced the launch of a new fast-charging column, claiming that the charging speed is about three times that of the current Tesla Supercharger. Mainstream electric vehicles in the market can charge about 200 kilometers using this fast charging column for 8 minutes.
The fast charging column named Terra High Power DC can be made so fast because its output power is up to 350 kW, which is much higher than other fast charging schemes currently available on the market. For example, the CHAdeMO DC solution has an output power of 62.5 kW. The J1772 Level 2 program is 90 kilowatts and the Tesla Supercharger is as high as 120 kilowatts, but it is not as high as ABB's solution.
However, what ABB is trying to solve now is how to make the mainstream electric vehicles in the market compatible with and support their Terra High Power DC fast charging columns. Once they have obtained support from major car manufacturers, or solve compatibility problems, the charging time of electric vehicles It is possible to catch up with the refueling time of gasoline vehicles and make more consumers consider using electric vehicles.
