New fast-charging technologies are allowing EVs to add 200kms range in just 8 minutes, and vehicle to grid technologies will offer all sorts of new opportunities.
In this episode we talk to ABB’s Wim Elshout and Steve Amor about charging technologies for electric cars, buses and trucks, as well as solutions for the electrification of ships, railways and cable cars.
