U.K. hydrogen power specialist AFC Energy has formed a strategic partnership with ABB to develop the next generation of high-power electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions.
With the global EV charging market expected to exceed $140 billion by 2030, this collaboration will support the worldwide delivery of the charging infrastructure required to meet such a demand. It will also create a new solution that will provide secure, efficient, flexible and reliable local power supplies, with zero emissions. The joint system will be ready for deployment initially in the United Kingdom, Europe, United States and elsewhere, by the second half of 2021.
The partnership will focus efforts on the joint deployment of integrated high-power EV charging systems across key ABB markets, including private and logistics vehicle hubs, charge point operators, and urban transportation. The charging systems could also be used to power marine and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) craft as elec
