We’re Creating Something
new

To continue to lead the EV charging industry and prepare for future growth, ABB transitioned the E-mobility Division into a stand-alone business.

Now, with ABB E-mobility as a separate legal structure, we’re creating seamless, end-to-end charging solutions that support our customers’ needs and success.
