VitaeMobility and ABB have entered into a partnership to install and manage 50 Terra Smart Connect (SC) DC fast chargers at multiple locations across Belgium.
The company has selected ABB's Terra Smart Connect (SC) as it is the only smart connected charging station on the market that supports EV charging for company fleets in 30-120 minutes.
First DC fast charger is scheduled to be installed by the end of July, which is expected to encourage the proliferation of electric vehicles.
It provides drivers with convenient access to the charging infrastructure and reduces range anxiety, a common concern associated with EV ownership.
VitaeMobility executive director Gunter De Pooter said," EV adoption offers more than energy efficient transportation; it helps cut our dependency on carbon-producing foreign fuels, lessens our ecological footprint by reducing emissions and makes economical sense since their maintenance and operations are far less costly in the long run."
According to Pike Research, the EV charging station infrastructure and services market is expected to reach 1.6 million units globally by 2015.
ABB general manager of EV charging infrastructure group Hans Streng said," ABB's charging infrastructure offering takes into consideration the entire e-mobility spectrum; from SMART grid interface and software services to technology offerings that allow customers to tailor chargers to their own needs such as their own billing solutions.
