ABB Sets New Standards in EV Charging with A400 and C50 Chargers

At a time when electric mobility is becoming one of the key factors for a sustainable future, ABB’s E-Mobility business sector continues to lead the industry through innovation and technological advancement. Ten months after the introduction of the A400 All-in-One Charger at ACT Expo 2024—which pushed the boundaries in fast and efficient electric vehicle charging—the company is now launching the C50, a premium compact charger designed to improve charging infrastructure in urban environments and along travel routes.

ABB A400 – Powerful, Reliable, and Smart

The ABB A400 represents the pinnacle of ABB’s engineering in the field of electric vehicle chargers. It delivers the highest charging power with minimal losses, provides a seamless user experience, and offers advanced remote management options. This charger directly addresses three key industry challenges: lack of driver confidence, usage complexity, and low return on investment for EV operators and fleet owners.

One of the major issues EV drivers face is a low charging success rate, which often falls below 70 percent. Users encounter difficulties with payments, connectivity issues, or unclear charging processes. The ABB A400 is designed to eliminate these issues, raising the charging success rate to as high as 99 percent.

With a large 32-inch screen and an intuitive user interface, the ABB A400 delivers a smartphone-like experience. Users can easily monitor the charging process, receive clear start and end confirmation, and get real-time charging status updates.

The technical solutions implemented in the A400 enable a long service life and high efficiency. The charger uses silicon carbide-based power modules, allowing optimal power management and reduced energy losses. Dynamic power sharing in 50 kW charging patterns offers operational flexibility, while the air cooling system contributes to the device’s reliability.

One of the key innovations in the A400 is implementing two-phase cooling technology (based on the phase change of the coolant –liquid to vapor to liquid) into a charger connector. This patented technology enables charging up to 600 amps while reducing maintenance costs and providing better long-term reliability than traditional cooling systems.

Additionally, the ABB A400 comes with remote management services via a cloud platform, allowing operators to monitor and optimize charger operation 24/7. ABB service agreements guarantee a 97 percent service response efficiency rate, further increasing this system’s reliability.

C50 – A Smart Solution for Urban Infrastructure

Following the successful launch of the A400, ABB E-Mobility now presents the C50 – a premium compact charger tailored for urban environments and public spaces. This model arrives at the right time, considering the growing need for accessible and efficient public charging, especially in cities where many people lack home charging options.

The C50 delivers 50 kW of power, enabling fast charging during everyday activities such as visits to shopping centers, retail locations, and rest stops. With dual 25 kW outputs, it allows simultaneous charging of two vehicles, thus increasing charger utilization and reducing the need for additional infrastructure investments.

Designed with practicality, the C50 features an ultra-slim profile of just 23.5 cm and premium materials that allow easy integration into various spaces. Its user interface, with a 21.5-inch screen, ensures simple and intuitive use, while the display colors can be adjusted to meet clients’ visual preferences.

Another advantage of the C50 model is that it comes as a fully managed solution. ABB takes care of all aspects – from planning and implementation to management, service, and maintenance. This enables companies to easily integrate chargers into their operations without needing additional expertise in electric mobility. In this way, they can focus on their core business while enjoying all the benefits of electrifying their locations while retaining ownership.

ABB E-Mobility is Redefining the Future of EV Charging

With the launch of the A400 and C50 models, ABB E-Mobility is setting new industry standards in EV charging. Their mission is not just to increase the number of chargers on the market but to improve the quality and reliability of infrastructure to accelerate the development of electric mobility.

EV charging networks represent a critical factor in the mission toward energy-efficient and climate-neutral mobility. The A400 and C50 were designed from the ground up to provide reliable and cost-effective charging, enabling our customers to manage their networks at the highest level.
