ABB end-to-end e-mobility solution for Swiss national highways
Provide charging sites, battery energy storage and energy management on the A2 motorway
Switzerland
Challenge
Twenty highway charging sites are planned to feature ABB’s complete infrastructure solution, which is built around its Terra High Power and regular Terra DC fast chargers at the core.
Solution
One 50 kW Terra 54 charger and Terra HP 350kW high power DC charger in a modular setup with two charging posts for two additional electric vehicles and a 170kWh battery energy storage system with a power output of 330kW to help reduce operating costs through peak-shaving and to enhance system availability and reliability.
Outcome
In cooperation with ABB, and Switzerland’s commitment to reduce emissions by 50 percent from 1990 to 2050, Switzerland plans the development of a nationwide charging network by electrifying approximately 100 motorway rest areas over the next few years.
