Lucky one can usually use phone to start charging.

 

Checks Plug-Share... Great the site has four CSS chargers!
Arrives at site... All four are down due to broken screen.

Also, its probably 360kW shared. Though I guess, that bit is irrelevant to most of us here.

 

Wasn't the Porsche some 800V deal?

Porsche Taycan's 800-Volt Architecture Enables Slimmer Wiring, Faster Charging, Less Heat

It's a key reason why Porsche's EV can charge faster and accelerate more consistently than any Tesla.

ABB launches world's fastest charger to plug into surging e-car market

It'd be nice if they actually bothered to get a reporter that knew the slightest thing about charging an EV to write an article like this.

My favorite part:
"The device can charge up to four vehicles at once, and can fully charge any electric car within 15 minutes".

Yes
You can get 62 miles in 3 minutes! That’s when I clicked it off earlier in the day

But there will come a time when cars accept 350kw. Maybe with solid state.

not sure what car can do 350 thought Tesla was 250kw

 

ioniq 5 is 250 I think as well. And charges in half the time of tesla. The curve must be better.

Nice to know that I can charge my Bolt from 0% to 100% in 15 min! I do believe that this would cause a battery fire that was not "unexplained"

This was my favorite part:

"ABB declined to give a price range for the product, which is aimed more at business clients like fueling stations, stores and companies rather than the private garages of motorists."

Also, giving the "xxx miles in xx min" a totally meaningless metric since that number will be different for every car.

Last but not least, zero real information on how many KW it provides. I am betting that it is 400 KW split 4 ways, so if the station is busy cars will be limited to 100 KW... but we don't know because the person asking the questions was completely ignorant.

I am betting that it is 400 KW split 4 ways,

I read elsewhere that it's 360 split 4 ways, so 90 each.
But I guess they claim "fastest" because EA is 350 and the new ABB is 360
