ABB EV charger roll-out for Audi dealerships almost finished
Audi NZ and ABB New Zealand have nearly completed installing AC and DC charging points in Audi authorised dealerships nationwide under a partnership.
The roll-out includes the 175kW ABB Terra HP high-power charger – live at Archibalds Motors in Christchurch next month – that can charge the Audi e-tron up to 80% in less than 40 minutes.
Audi’s nine other dealerships have Terra 54 50kW DC chargers that provide a full 400km charge in two hours.
Giltrap Audi, Ebbett Audi and Farmer Audi will also get 175kW DC chargers.
Audi NZ general manager Dean Sheed says the e-tron is the first series production vehicle that can charge at fast charging stations with direct current (DC) at up to 150kW.
“It’s also comfortable charging its 95kWh battery at home using normal 240-volt AC power in a ‘top up’ scenario.”
covered the planned roll-out announced in June last year.
Since entering the EV charging market a decade ago, ABB has sold more than 14,000 DC fast chargers in at least 80 countries.
