From a legislative and regulatory perspective, the topics I spend the most time talking about and working on are EV charging reliability and the driver experience (think payments, UI/UX). I couldn't be more excited about the launch of our new A400 and the impact that it will have on both. We've all heard about the 97% minimum uptime standard. ABB E-mobility is reaching for more in this next generation of chargers and SLAs with a targeted 99% charging success rate. This gets to the heart of reliability for drivers, as opposed to "checking an uptime box." Many of my conversations on charger reliability often lead to a discussion on payments and how frustrating it can be for drivers to successfully pay for and initiate a charging session. That is why I am so excited that the A400 will feature a brand new smart-phone like user interface with a completely integrated payment flow. This integration will break down the disconnect between the charger and the payment terminal, dramatically simplifying the charge initiation process. Fast facts: 400kW dynamically shared, 2x600A peak current, all-in-one footprint (no separate power cabinets needed!)

The next generation of DC fast charging arrives today, with the launch of our All-in-One 400kW charger, the A400. A lack of reliability, complex charging processes for drivers, and insufficient return on investment (ROI) are the three most significant challenges that hold back large-scale charging infrastructure deployments in the EV charging industry. The A400 addresses these issues head-on by introducing innovations in four key areas: • ⚡Provides the highest 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 with the lowest footprint, • 📱Offers a seamless smartphone-like 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 and integrated payment flow to make charging easier, • 💰Delivers best-in-class 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 via lean design that boosts quality and reduces maintenance cost, • 🔧Reaches 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 asset-management quality via performance SLAs with a targeted 99% charging success rate.
