Power equipment manufacturing company ABB has reportedly bagged a contract from a Dutch firm Fastned to supply over 200 electric chargers. Fastned, which is building a network of 200 electric-vehicle charging stations along highways in Netherlands, will be equipped with several multi-standard fast chargers.
The first ABB terra fast chargers are expected to be delivered in September and the construction of the stations, which will have solar canopies, is scheduled to be completed by 2015. ABB's open standards-based cloud connectivity solution will allow Fastned to create a user-friendly payment and access service for all drivers.
