ABB has launched its new Terra AC wallbox to meet demand for connected charging in homes and businesses.

The wallbox is available in up to 22kW variants to ensure compatibility with the electrical system of homes and buildings across the world.

It will be available in select markets, including Europe, during the coming months and available globally by May, 2020. The AC wallbox can be ordered via the ABB partner network.

“The trends of urbanisation, digitalisation and industrialisation all converged to necessitate a significant shift in the way we travel,” said ABB head of Global Business for E-mobility Infrastructure Solutions, Frank Muehlon.

The Terra AC wallbox benefits from connectivity which enables configuration and software updates via a dedicated App or remotely via the cloud, providing flexibility and minimising the need for onsite intervention.

Each charger is equipped with a revenue grade energy meter, which can be integrated with smart building energy management systems, allowing advanced load management features. This enables home and business owners to adjust the power of assets as needed to maximise charging power and cost efficiency.
