Electric Vehicle Charger - Wallbox Terra AC
I need a charger for my new electric car, but which one should I choose?
One of the most important considerations for electric vehicle (EV) buyers is the battery charging time, which often varies due to the capacity/features of the car battery.
Recently, a partnership was established between ABB Portugal, BMW Portugal, and CME. As part of this collaboration, BMW Portugal launched a campaign for the new BMW iX3 (the first 100% electric model in the X range).
With the purchase of the new BMW iX3, the offer includes the Smart Wallbox Terra AC and installation services provided by CME. Using the BMW iX3 as an example, and assuming daily charging sufficient for a range of 340 km (considering a charge from 20% to 80%), the charging times2 with various ABB chargers are as follows:
- Recommended for home use - 11kW AC with the ABB Terra AC wallbox – 4 hours and 29 minutes of charging.
- Recommended for home/business use - 22kW DC with the ABB Terra 24 DC wallbox – 2 hours and 45 minutes of charging.
- Fast chargers for service stations, business parks, public parking - 50kW DC with the ABB Terra 54 DC charger – 59 minutes of charging.
- Fast chargers for service stations, business parks, public parking - 155kW DC with the ABB Terra 184 DC charger – 19 minutes of charging.
