This listing assures EV infrastructure site owners and operators that their charging equipment will meet Energy Star program requirements, from public to fleet charging needs, in a wide range of power options.
Additionally, the company’s Energy Star certified chargers can comply with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Buy America Act rules, making them a perfect fit for state and federal EV charging programs that value domestic manufacturing and energy efficiency.
Energy Star Certified DC fast chargers support high standards for charging efficiency and standby energy losses, provide energy savings, meet safety requirements, and use Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) for network communications. DC fast chargers that have earned the certification can support up to 1.5 MWh/year in energy savings, averaging over $1,650 in cost savings during the lifetime of the charging station. All EV charging systems that earn the Energy Star label are tested for safety by a nationally recognised testing laboratory and those tests are third party verified.
ABB Terra chargers covered by the Energy Star certification include the all-in-one Terra 184, which provides up to 180 kW of power in a compact footprint and can deliver 400 A of high current for faster charging times across more vehicles. Additionally, the Terra DC Wallbox, rated up to 24 kW, meets the needs of lower power DC charging where charging presents load challenges in a facility. Combined, this range of chargers serves a variety of charging site demands, including highway charging, shopping malls, convenience stores, fleets, commercial facilities, school buses, auto dealerships and more.
