Denmark’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is to be expanded with the installation of fifty smart DC fast chargers. Electric mobility operator Clever has chosen power and automation technology group ABB to supply and maintain the fast chargers throughout Denmark.

The companies say the ABB Terra 51 chargers, which are to be installed at  strategic locations in the country, are ideally suited for freeway driving and has the capacity to fast charge electric vehicles in a matter of thirty minutes.

ABB web-connected fast chargers have the capacity to offer full range connectivity, remote assistance and software upgrading and are capable of being connected to electric distribution system or smart grid for effective and timely charging of electric vehicles.

The chargers have been specially chosen due to their reliability and higher level of uptime. The company is well versed in the demands for quick and efficient fast charging in the EV industry.

"We are delighted that we have signed an agreement with ABB. At Clever, the development of a smart EV charging network that is able to easily implement ABB's fast charging products, along with other suppliers, enables us to shortlist the right products at the right price; benefiting our customers," says Lars Bording, Clever's CEO.
Clever's network of DC fast chargers and AC chargers builds on Denmark's commitment to becoming independent of fossil fuels by 2050. The country will reach its ambitious goal by increasing energy efficiency and resource optimisation; by expanding the share of renewable energy from sources such as wind and biomass; and by driving the development of an intelligent energy system capable of managing the fluctuations of renewable energy.

"Each web-connected ABB fast charger is capable of a full range of connectivity features, including remote assistance, management and servicing and smart software upgradeability," says Hans Streng SVP, GM EV charging infrastructure product group. "With the high share of intermittent renewable energy in the Danish electricity mix, smart charging becomes increasingly important. ABB's connected chargers are ready to be connected to any smart electricity distribution system or smart grid."

    Wisconsin's four-year HOT lanes pilot project, launched in May 2008, cost US$18.8 million to construct. Halfway into the project, which uses variably priced, or dynamic, tolling to improve highway efficiency, the benefits are mounting. The problem was obvious, and frustrating, to anyone who ever sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic on State Route 167 and watched a lone car whiz by every 20 seconds or so in the carpool lane. But for planners at the Washington State Department of Transportation, the conundrum was
