Hitachi ABB Power Grids launches EV fleet billing system

• The containerized product incorporates a grid connection with numerous charging systems, allowing electrical public transportation and commercial fleet drivers to bill more vehicles with less facilities needed at depots.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids has actually introduced a full 'grid-to-plug' service for billing large public transportation as well as business vehicle electrical fleets in depots. The container-based billing system is stated to be 60% smaller than a traditional Air Conditioning grid-connected system, and uses 40% less depot cabling, according to its designer.

The service comes in basic containers which incorporate grid link and also multiple billing systems, concentrating a lot of the billing equipment at a main place for usage in space-restricted depots.

Alternatives vary from a 1 MW grid connection with 10 100 kW EV battery chargers to a 2.5 MW system with 20 150 kW charging points.
