RE: ABB says the energy used to power its Terra 360 chargers is also 100 per cent renewable.27 May 2022 10:16
Well I guess there are three ways they can get power to their chargers at motorway service stations or elsewhere for that matter:
a) Renewable energy from the grid. For the quantity of power that they are talking about here, they may need to lay in separate cables to handle that quantity of power to charge a lot of cars at one time. Of course all AFC shareholders are well aware of this problem!
b) AFC fuel cells running off hydrogen or ammonia.
c) I know that Shell have an arrangement with ITM for them to produce power for chargers at some of their service stations, using electrolysis. I believe that although some of the power for this comes from renewable energy from the grid, in some cases it comes from on-site solar power. Would such a system be capable of producing enough power for these ABB chargers?
