# Rip-Roaring EV Chargers The 'Terra High Power DC' is the World's Fastest Electric Vehicle Charger By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-05-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-charger References: [autoevolution](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/terra-high-power-charger-to-juice-up-evs-in-just-eight-minutes-125303.html) & [new.abb](http://new.abb.com/news/detail/4412/abb-launches-worlds-fastest-e-vehicle-charger-at-hannover-messe-strengthening-its-leadership-in-sustainable-mobility) The [Terra High Power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-truck) DC is an extraordinarily fast electric vehicle charger, developed by none other than Switzerland-based company [ABB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abb-nascar-ev-prototype), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ultra-fast EV Charging:** Developing electric vehicle chargers with unprecedented charging speeds presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **High-capacity EV Batteries:** The emergence of higher-capacity electric vehicles creates a demand for faster chargers, leading to potential disruptive innovation in battery technology. - **Simultaneous Charging:** The need to plug in multiple cars simultaneously to optimize charging capacity opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in charging infrastructure and grid management. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can leverage ultra-fast EV charging technology to attract consumers and drive adoption of electric vehicles. - **Battery:** Developing high-capacity batteries is a promising area for disruptive innovation to support the growing demand for faster EV charging. - **Energy:** The energy industry can explore new opportunities in charging infrastructure and grid management to facilitate simultaneous charging of multiple electric vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Fast Charging Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd.md) - [12-Minute EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-aio-dc-fast-charger.md) - [EV Fast-Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charging-network-1.md) - [Ultra-Fast EV Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrafast-charging-systems.md) - [Vehicular Power Station Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-power-1kw-super-fast-car-charger.md) - [Hyper-Fast Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charging-station-1.md) - [Suitcase-Style EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-ev-charger.md) - [Hyper-Speed Charging Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyobolt-concept-ev.md) - [Functional Bidirectional Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solaredge.md)
