Currently reading: Shell and ABB unveil "world’s fastest" EV charger
ABB Terra 360 charger can supply electricity at rates of up to 360kW; will be first installed in Germany

Energy giant Shell and Swiss technology firm ABB have designed a new EV charger that they say is the fastest in the world.

The ABB Terra 360 is claimed to charge at rates of up to 360kW, which would be enough to fully charge a compatible EV in less than 15 minutes. 

More than 200 examples of the new charger will be installed in Germany in the next 12 months.

It forms part of Shell’s plans to install around 500,000 EV chargers around the world by 2025 (and 2,500,000 by 2030), but it's not yet clear if or when it will come to the UK.
