The Terra High Power DC is an extraordinarily fast electric vehicle charger, developed by none other than Switzerland-based company ABB, which is set to become the world's fastest EV charger by virtue of the fact that it will be able to pump out a scarcely believable 350 kilowatts of juice.
To give you an idea of how fast that is, it amounts to a charge rate that's nearly three times that of Tesla's much-vaunted Superchargers.
In fact, so high-powered are these EV chargers that there are actually no vehicles out there on the market that can utilize their charging capability to its full potential, meaning that multiple cars need to be plugged in simultaneously to optimize the Terra High Power DC's capacity.
However, what this means is that as higher-capacity electric vehicles emerge, Terra High Power DC will already be positioned as the fastest charger on the market.
