- ABB E‑mobility launched the OM M‑Series, a modular fast‑charging system that scales from 200 kW to 1.2 MW and supports up to 24 charge points.
- ChargePost dispensers (Solo, Duo, Dock, Ultra) can be mixed‑and‑matched across 36 site layouts and support CCS1, CCS2, NACS, and MCS connectors.
- Michael Halbherr said the industry spent a decade optimizing for nameplate power, but the M‑Series targets the cost of energy delivered over a site’s lifetime.
Why it matters: Operators gain lower per‑kWh costs and higher utilization, while manufacturers of fixed‑power chargers lose market share. The modular M‑Series lets sites add 400 kW blocks up to 1.2 MW, cutting capital waste and smoothing demand spikes.
