ABB E-mobility’s new EV fast charger kills peak power hype

ABB E-mobility just debuted a new EV fast-charger system that’s trying to change how operators think about building EV charging sites, and it’s not about chasing the highest power numbers anymore.

ABB E-mobility announced its new OM M-Series, a modular fast-charging system that separates power cabinets from dispensers and scales from 200 kW up to 1.2 megawatts.

That might sound like a spec upgrade, but the bigger shift is what ABB is optimizing for: how much energy actually gets delivered to EVs over time, not just how much power is installed on paper.

The system is designed for a wide range of sites, including public fast-charging hubs, retail and destination locations, and commercial fleet depots.
