Norwegian Companies Developed New ‘Super Fast’ Chargers for Electric Cars. The Product Has a Maximum Capacity of 360 kW and Can Fully Charge a Battery Vehicle in Just 15 Minutes.
Norway received on Monday (9) two chargers for electric cars of the Terra 360 model, which can fully charge an electric car in just 15 minutes. The charging station has a maximum capacity of 360 kW, which is much higher than most current fast chargers, which have power ranging from 50 to 150 kW. The equipment was installed at Norway’s ski resort, located in the city of Geilo and also at the Oasen Shopping Center, in the city of Bergen, the second largest in the country. Each of the chargers can charge two vehicles at the same time. The project is the result of a partnership between ABB and Eviny, both of which are suppliers of chargers for electric cars.
Charging Stations for Electric Cars Work in Extreme Climates
The two chargers for electric cars will serve as a “pilot project” and are expected to be followed by a larger installation in the country and also in Sweden. According to ABB and Eviny, manufacturers of the product, they serve as a small demonstration of the technology’s ability to function in extreme weather conditions.
Norway, which has a territory slightly larger than the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo combined, aims to become the first country to eliminate the sale and use of cars with combustion engines powered by gasoline and diesel by 2025. Electric cars accounted for about 64.5% of new vehicle sales in the country last year, almost two out of every three vehicles.

Eviny already has over 400 fast chargers currently installed in more than 150 locations throughout Norway. According to Eviny’s CEO in a statement, Jannicke Hilland, the transition to electric vehicles is rapidly expanding in Norway and to continue leading the transition, it is necessary to implement charging stations faster. The executive also highlights that the company is proud to be the first in the world to use ABB’s product.
Additional Information About the Ultra-Fast Charger
ABB announced the world’s fastest charger in 2021 and the product received stock offers of US$ 3 billion, which at the time was equivalent to R$ 16.1 billion.
The equipment can deliver 100 km of range in just 3 minutes of charging and is aimed at commercial customers, making it ideal for refueling stations, commercial parking, and charging fleets of vehicles. The charger has a maximum output of 360 kW, drastically reducing waiting time.
Swiss Company Develops Portable Charger
The Swiss company Juice Technology is developing a new portable charger for electric cars that can be adapted to type 2 and type 1 sockets and is compact, making transportation much easier and more straightforward.
The goal of the charger is to provide an alternative when there is no accessible charging station for battery vehicles. The company also states in a statement that it is necessary to make electricity more accessible to drivers of electric models.
The product operates as a portable charging station of 22 kW that works with all electric vehicles with type 2 or type 1 charging sockets, making it functional worldwide. The company emphasizes that this is possible due to a system of adapters that function similarly to a Universal USB hub that unifies all charging sockets.
