ABB E-mobility has signed a new global framework agreement with the energy giant Shell to supply ABB’s end-to-end portfolio of AC and DC charging stations. The portfolio ranges from the AC wallbox for home, work or retail installations, to the Terra 360 which is suitable for refuelling stations, urban charging stations, retail parking and fleet applications.
The new agreement builds on a long-standing partnership between the two companies, and will see ABB E-mobility support Shell in creating a global charging network.
Through this collaboration, ABB E-mobility and Shell are aiming to address two of the challenges to increasing EV adoption. Firstly, charging infrastructure availability, with Shell targeting the operation of over 500,000 charge points globally by 2025 and 2,500,000 by 2030, either at residential, commercial or Shell retail sites.
Secondly, the speed of charging, with ABB’s portfolio of charging stations including its Terra 360 charger.
The Terra 360 is the world’s fastest all-in-one electric car charger.
Frank Muehlon, CEO of ABB E-mobility, says: “In line with our mutual involvement in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, both ABB and Shell are innovating to drive progress in e-mobility. We have been working together on the roll-out of public charging infrastructure since 2019 and this latest agreement takes that collaboration to the next level.
Her adds: “We are excited to support Shell in realizing its objective to create a global charging network. With access to the full breadth of our charging portfolio, we are ensuring that Shell can select the most appropriate solution for every use case, helping to get more people charging regardless of their location.”
ABB has sold more than 680,000 electric vehicle chargers across more than 85 markets; over 30,000 DC fast chargers and 650,000 AC chargers, including those sold through Chargedot.
