Why the “Behind-the-Charger” Layer Matters

Second-generation EV chargers are replacing early models, delivering higher power and faster charging.
Megawatt charging is emerging—up to 1.2 MW today, with the SAE J3271 standard enabling systems up to 4.5 MW.
Electrical gear installed to support the first generation of EV chargers was not built for this leap. Without planning, sites risk costly re-work or downtime as charging power scales.

ABB Solutions: Engineered to Outrun What’s Next

Future-proof electrical distribution solutions, developed for today’s fast chargers and tomorrow’s megawatt loads.
Charger-agnostic energy management embedded in smart switchgear and circuit breakers—no dependence on short-lifecycle charger controls.
On-premise intelligence for load balancing, microgrids, and SCADA integration—resilient even when network access drops.
A portfolio built on ABB’s proven legacy in switchgear, breakers, and power management.

Solving Real-World Challenges

Compatibility gaps: Legacy panels and switchboards often can’t handle higher-power chargers—ABB expertise can help future-proof sites with technology that enables smooth upgrades.
Vendor churn: Some charger and software companies have exited the market; ABB offers long-term support and open standards.
Integration complexity: Our solutions simplify mixing new chargers with existing systems and other site load and energy sources.

Trends Shaping Tomorrow’s Sites

Consolidating energy management inside electrical distribution for a single, durable control layer.
Smart circuit breakers coordinating EV chargers, solar, battery, and building loads for optimum efficiency and resilience.
Leveraging industrial-grade SCADA and microgrid know-how to keep EV sites running, even off-network.

Streamline your EV infrastructure projects with ABB’s complete electrical site solutions to support EV charging. Whether you're installing home EV charging, building public EV charging stations, or deploying charging infrastructure for buses, light-duty, or medium/heavy-duty fleet operations, ABB delivers advanced electric vehicle charging technology and a full portfolio of products for end-to-end installations.

From transformers and switchboards to load centers, switchgear, panelboards, smart panels, safety switches, and both AC and DC EV chargers, ABB supplies everything needed to create a reliable, scalable EV infrastructure.

Effective planning and technical expertise are key to success. ABB offers trusted grid-to-charger support, helping customers design optimal solution architecture, ensure smooth installation, and plan for seamless future upgrades—all backed by dedicated customer service.
