CLEVER, an electric mobility operator (EMO) in Denmark, and ABB today announced ABB has been chosen as supplier of 50 Terra 51 DC fast chargers at multiple locations throughout Denmark. ABB’s Terra 51 is specially designed for freeway driving and is capable of charging an electric vehicle in 30 minutes or less. The first six ABB Terra 51 fast charge stations are due to be delivered and installed this week and represent the largest deployment of smart electric vehicle chargers in Denmark. The remaining fast chargers will be installed and fully deployed within six weeks.
CLEVER’s network of DC fast chargers and AC chargers builds on Denmark’s commitment towards becoming independent of fossil fuels by 2050. The country aims to reach its ambitious goal by increasing energy efficiency and resource optimisation; by expanding the share of renewable energy from sources such as wind and biomass; and by driving the development of an intelligent energy system capable of managing the fluctuations of renewable energy.
“Each web-connected ABB fast charger is capable of a full range of connectivity features, including remote assistance, management and servicing and smart software upgradeability,” said Hans Streng SVP, GM Product Group EV Charging Infrastructure. “With the high share of intermittent renewable energy in the Danish electricity mix, smart charging becomes increasingly important. ABB’s connected chargers are ready to be connected to any smart electricity distribution system or smart grid.”
CLEVER will manage the installation of the fast charger stations in conjunction with their consumer network operating services. In addition to supplying the fast chargers, ABB will also deliver the business platform, support services and maintenance.
