ABB, one of the world’s leading players in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure has supplied a premier residential compound in Saudi Arabia with its market leading EV chargers.

The Safa 28 residential project is located at Al Nada and Al Qairwan areas in Riyadh and is owned by the Safa Investment Company. It plans to establish 140 housing units within 10 buildings and then further expand to develop 921 buildings.

ABB is providing two kinds of chargers for this project, which are going to be installed within 12 weeks, 13 ‘AC Terra single-phase 7.4kW units which will be installed in the basement of the buildings for the apartments and four ‘AC Terra three-phase 22kW chargers with metering function’ and radio frequency identification (RFID) cards, which will be installed for the villas.

“The most convenient place to charge your car is in the home. ABB offers easy to install EV chargers for the home, with all the components needed for smart home integration available from a single, trusted supplier.

ABB home chargers are integrated with safety features for the protection of people and their electric vehicles,” said Ahmad Alhussein, ABB Local Business Manager, Saudi Arabia.

This is the first residential charger project for ABB in Saudi Arabia, having previously supplied three of 50 KW Fast DC chargers.
