Gridserve trials 360kW-capable EV chargers at Braintree forecourt

Gridserve has started testing the ABB Terra 360 at its Electric Forecourt in Braintree. 

The ABB Terra 360 on trial can deliver a maximum 360kW of power, meaning it has the ability to add around 62 miles of range in three minutes or fully charge an electric car in less than 15 minutes. 

The new charger is able to offer dynamic dual-charging. That means that two vehicles will be able to plug in and charge simultaneously, and the EV charger will dynamically distribute the power between both vehicles.

Thirdly, the overall design is more user-friendly. LED lighting will now reveal when a charger is available or in use, a new pulley system ensures the retractable 5m charging cable is manoeuvrable and keeps pathways clear, while enlarged digital screens will provide all your EV charging information.
