来自的新充电器ABB提供与2级站点的无缝集成，并为工作场所和商业站点提供理想的充电解决方案。
ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, today launched the Terra SmartConnect (SC), a breakthrough product that will significantly improve the business case for installing electric-vehicle (EV) fast chargers throughout North America. The Terra SC will be available for delivery in the Americas in the second quarter. Initial shipments will support the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard, with SAE / Combined Charging System units available later this year.
Terra SC是一种具有成本效益的直流电（DC）充电器，专为商业和办公区域的方便快速充电而设计。在驾驶员参加商务会议时，它可以在30至120分钟内充满电动汽车，去看电影或享用一顿饭。Terra SC也是想要继续驾驶但不一定需要充分充电的人的理想选择：它可以在不到半小时内从30％到80％的电动电动汽车充电。更多的应用程序包括工作场所，车队运营商，停车运营商，租赁公司，汽车经销店，购物中心以及为这些应用程序服务的EV基础设施服务提供商。
Seamless integration into AC networks
通过使用开放标准，ABB DC充电器可以无缝集成到现有的AC充电网络中。北美电动汽车充电基础设施业务总监Cal Lankton指出：“电动汽车服务提供商将在轻松地集成DC充电中找到巨大的好处。”“在交通拥堵的地区，EV驾驶员正在争夺充电站的访问，DC技术的速度将释放更多的充电站和更多驾驶员的容量。这直接转化为服务提供商增加客户数量和使用频率的灵活性。”
Easy to install, easy to use, with optimal connectivity
Despite its focus on cost minimization, the Terra SC will be fully UL-listed, and comes standard with an outdoor-rated steel housing, a full-color, eight inch, intuitive touch-screen user interface and all the smart connectivity features that ABB’s Terra chargers are known for. It is quick and easy to install at almost any location due to its ultra-thin design and simple floor and wall-mount connections; these features also create maximum space efficiency.
“The launch of the Terra SC demonstrates our commitment to deliver the optimal charging solution for every possible location in the network, both in terms of functionality and affordability. With its breakthrough price, low commissioning costs, easy installation and smart design features, the Terra SC creates an even more compelling case for installing EV fast chargers at many more locations throughout the world, providing a strong boost to the development of electric mobility,” said Hans Streng, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ABB’s EV Charging Infrastructure business globally.
The Terra SC is a web-connected charger that includes a full range of connectivity features, including remote assistance, management and servicing, with smart software upgradeability. Its key optional features include RFiD and PIN code authorization, as well as a web-based statistics module with data per user to support energy usage reporting. ABB’s connectivity suite supports all existing and future connection standards within the same network, and immediate “plug-and-play” functionality using the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
A growing family of DC fast chargers
Terra SC完美地补充了ABB现有的快速充电解决方案组合。ABB的ENRUTE快速充电器Terra 51主要用于需要最快充电的应用，提供15-30分钟的“充电和Go”服务。兰克顿补充说：“ Terra SC模型的开发和发布表明了我们的承诺，为网络中每个可能的位置提供最佳的快速充电解决方案 - 在功能性和负担能力方面都可以。”
The growing number of electric vehicles is driving a global market opportunity for charging solutions, including sophisticated monitoring systems and software to support the electric grid. ABB estimates that the market for charging infrastructure solutions will be worth $1 billion by 2017, and nearly $4 billion by 2020. Since launching Europe’s first commercially operated fast-charging station in the Netherlands in May 2010, ABB has delivered and installed many DC charging stations and networks throughout the region. Earlier this year, ABB installed a network of 170 fast chargers throughout Estonia, creating the world’s first DC charging infrastructure with full nationwide coverage. ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 145,000 people.
