ABB E-mobility has introduced three new electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions aimed at improving usability, reliability, and scalability:
1. The A200/300 All-in-One chargers
2. The MCS1200 megawatt-scale charger for commercial vehicles
3. The ChargeDock dispenser for depot applications.
These additions follow the company’s A400 and C50 launches and support a modular platform strategy.
The new product lineup is based on a modular architecture that separates the system into four domains — user experience, power delivery, mechatronics, and cloud. This design enables each subsystem to operate independently, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance. Updates can be applied to each domain without disrupting the entire system.
This approach also supports more efficient product development, faster deployment cycles, and long-term flexibility. Internally developed silicon carbide power modules deliver 97% conversion efficiency while improving support for grid infrastructure.
Applications
-
Public charging: The new A200 (200 kW) and upgradeable A300/400 models offer scalable performance for public fast charging corridors and urban locations, helping operators manage total cost of ownership.
-
Transit depots: The ChargeDock dispenser supports various depot charging configurations (including pantograph, roof, and pedestal), offering shared power up to 360 kW and flexible installation distances up to 150 meters between cabinets and dispensers.
-
Trucking and logistics: The MCS1200 delivers up to 1,200 kW of power for megawatt charging of commercial vehicles. Designed for driver break periods, it features a rotating connector head and integrated cooling to ease handling and minimize cable stress. Dual MCS/CCS support will also be available for mixed-fleet needs.
-
Destination charging: The C50 compact charger is designed for commercial or retail environments, offering 50 kW performance in a space-saving 9.3-inch-deep enclosure with a full-featured display and simplified installation.
The latest designs support user interface consistency across products. Operator customization is supported via an onscreen configurator to manage brand visuals, icons, and languages.
Standardized components across the product line simplify maintenance. Remote diagnostics and real-time monitoring improve service response and resolution times. Service agreements offer uptime guarantees and on-site support when needed.
The full charging platform will be on display at Power2Drive in Munich, Germany (May 7th to 9th, 2025).
