ABB has installed the UK's first
privately-owned direct current (DC)
rapid-charging station for electric
vehicles at the offices of printing
company RCS PLC in Retford,
Nottinghamshire.
The Terra 51 charger was bought with financial support from the Midlands Plugged-in Places (PiP) project, part of the UK government's wider programme to develop EV charging infrastructures across the UK. The rapid-charge station is being used by RCS to recharge its electric fleet of sales and delivery vehicles, but will also be part of the Plugged-in Midlands public charging network.
The Terra 51 installed in Retford is a single-port charger, suited to locations with regular traffic. ABB's product portfolio also includes the multi-port Terra Base Station 100.2, which can charge two cars at once.
