EV Charging Stations

1. ABB Terra AC

Climkit provides the ABB Terra AC 22kW charging station.

This is a model with all the features of a smart charging station:

  • Max power of 22 kW
  • Connection via Wi-Fi, ethernet or 4G
  • RFID badge reader
  • Integrated energy meter

Combined with Climkit Mobility, it offers the usual features:

  • Dynamic charging power management based on available power
  • User management via RFID badges and individual billing of consumed energy
  • Self-consumption optimization by charging only with the site's own solar energy

The charging station is available in 2 main variants:

  • Charging station with RFID reader without fixed cable
  • Charging station with RFID reader and 5m fixed cable

2. Other compatible charging station types

Climkit is compatible with all charging stations using the OCPP protocol. Here is a list of tested models.

3. Charging station installation

An FI Type A 3P+N circuit breaker is installed for each charging station (provided by the electrical installer). It is not necessary to use expensive Type B or EV residual current circuit breakers.

The charging stations are at a maximum of 22 kW (32A) but can be connected at 25A, 16A, and 10A.

Generally, 16A is sufficient, as most current vehicles do not draw higher currents anyway.

The charging station is connected to the IT network via Ethernet or Wifi. 

The charging station can be installed on a simple or double metal pedestal (two charging stations back-to-back).

Each ABB Terra AC charging station comes with a unique PIN code found in the box. Be careful not to lose it, as it is essential for the charging station configuration.

Always refer to the charging station manufacturer's instructions.
