The company says the industry faces issues of reliability, confusing user experiences, and inadequate returns, hindering widespread infrastructure deployment. The A400 innovates in three key areas: user-centric design, modular engineering, and advanced asset management.
Current charging success rates hover below 70%, causing confusion and payment issues for drivers. The A400 prioritises user experience, aiming for a 99% success rate. Its intuitive interface, akin to smartphone usage, guides users through seamless charging.
Moreover, the A400 integrates a cloud-based asset management system akin to telecom networks, ensuring reliability and scalability. It guarantees 24/7 management, targeting 99% success rates and 97% uptime.
ABB E-Mobility shifts the focus from raw power installation to reliability and cost-effectiveness. The A400's design aims for a 10-year lifespan, high reliability, and cost-efficient energy distribution.
In addition, dynamic power sharing accommodates various charging patterns, while in-house silicon carbide-based modules and efficient air cooling ensure reliability. Patented passive cooled charging guns enable peak rates without complex cooling systems.
ABB E-mobility will unveil the A400 at ACT Expo 2024 in Las Vegas next week.
