On 21 June 2022, ABB E-Mobility opened its newest manufacturing unit for electrical car (EV) charging stations, situated in Tuscany. At 16,000 sq m, the brand new Valdarno location is ABB’s largest DC quick charger (DCFC) manufacturing facility worldwide. The corporate claims to have the world’s quickest charging answer, the Terra 360, and has carried out some spectacular manufacturing applied sciences to make it.
“ABB has at all times been on the forefront of innovation,” Chief Govt of ABB Mobility, Frank Mühlon, tells Automotive World. “Should you take into account these high-powered chargers, above 150kW as much as 350kW for one cost, this was solely attainable due to liquid-cooled cables,” Mühlon factors out that ABB was forward of the 2018 market development, as the corporate had already examined liquid-cooling cables in trials in 2017—one 12 months earlier than they had been trending from different opponents.
