ACT Expo 2025, ABB E-mobility expands EV charging portfolio with three new products
These are the field-upgradable A200/300 All-in-One chargers, the MCS1200 Megawatt Charging System for heavy-duty vehicles, and the ChargeDock Dispenser for flexible depot charging. "Unlike conventional chargers, where a user interface failure can disable the entire system, our architecture ensures charging continues even if the screen or payment system encounters issues. Moreover, we can improve each subsystem at its own pace without having to change the entire system", commented Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility.
ABB E-mobility has recently expanded its comprehensive EV charging portfolio, based on platforms addressing critical usability, reliability and scalability challenges that have hampered mass EV adoption. These products are the field-upgradable A200/300 All-in-One chargers, the MCS1200 Megawatt Charging System for heavy-duty vehicles, and the ChargeDock Dispenser for flexible depot charging.
Indeed, ABB E-mobility’s platform strategy has enabled remarkable development speed, delivering five distinct products over the last 12 months, including the A400 All-in-One charger and Compact C50 for destination charging already released in 2024. At the core of ABB E-mobility’s platform is a specific architecture that applies computer system-style domain separation to charger design, fundamentally improving subsystem development.
ABB E-mobility presents new charging systems
“We have built a system by logically separating a charger into four distinct subsystems—the user experience domain, the power delivery domain, the mechatronic domain, and the cloud domain—each functioning as an independent subsystem,” explained Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility. “Unlike conventional chargers, where a user interface failure can disable the entire system, our architecture ensures charging continues even if the screen or payment system encounters issues. Moreover, we can improve each subsystem at its own pace without having to change the entire system.”
“The EV charging landscape is evolving beyond point products for specific use cases — we’re building platforms that deliver consistent usability, reliability and scalability across the entire charging ecosystem. By implementing this modular approach with the majority of our R&D focused on modular platforms rather than one-off products, we’ve created a charging portfolio that delivers higher quality and higher consistency to end-users and service personnel. It reduces supply chain risks, while accelerating development cycles and enabling deeper collaboration with critical suppliers”, he added.
The entire ABB E-mobility product family is on display for the first time at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo (ACT) in Anaheim, California, North America, from April 28-30, 2025 and then at Power2Drive in Munich, Germany, from May 7-9, 2025.
