With its 15 to 30 minute charging time, the Terra 53 is suited for highway and city centers, fueling stations, fleets, and other infrastructure providers interested in tapping into the growing EV charging revenue stream. The Terra 53 joins the ABB Terra family of DC charging stations that offer fast charging times with industry leading, business-to-business network solutions.

The cloud-connected Terra 53 is compatible with many charging networks and payment platforms through open standards-based interfaces, such as the widely adopted Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), enabling easy and secure payments via smart phone, credit card reader, parking management terminals, RFID and pin code access.

The Terra 53’s smart connectivity also allows remote monitoring, pro-active maintenance and functional upgrades, providing charging service providers with the tools necessary to gather detailed usage statistics and reports, as well as manage the status of each charger location in real-time.

ABB was the first company to demonstrate a working prototype of the SAE Combo standard at EVS26 in Los Angeles, and at eCarTec in Munich in 2012. With successes throughout Europe in deploying and managing nationwide EV charging networks, ABB is known for industry leading uptime, reliability and long-standing commitment to the EV charging industry. To date, the company has helped facilitate the creation of nationwide charging infrastructure networks throughout Northern Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Estonia.
