Innovative Partnership for Electric Mobility
A new era in electric mobility is about to be inaugurated by Rede Graal, in partnership with ABB Electrification. Together, they are introducing an innovative electric vehicle charging network in various regions of Brazil, including São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for electric vehicle drivers, offering them ultrafast and semi-fast charging options.
Advanced Charging Technology
Rede Graal, with the support of ABB, is implementing 10 ultrafast charging stations and 31 semi-fast chargers. These ABB Terra 124CC chargers are capable of powering a vehicle in less than 30 minutes. Additionally, they can charge two vehicles simultaneously, sharing power of 120kW@920VDC. This cutting-edge technology is not only efficient but also exciting, as it is the same used in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.
Drivers will also have access to 22kW ABB Terra AC wallbox chargers, providing an enhanced user experience. The entire infrastructure is aligned with international standards and Brazilian regulations, ensuring a reliable and safe charging solution.
