"The device can charge up to four vehicles at once, and can fully charge any electric car within 15 minutes, ABB said, making it attractive to customers worried about charging times which can run to several hours."

Fully charge in 15 minutes, haha!

Hope they work more reliably than the existing ABB chargers used by EA.

No kidding. ABB are the only chargers I have issues with at this point. And not just on EA network.

Technically, all of our chargers can fully charge our cars in 15 minutes. Just depends on what percent charge you start with... Marketing scams.

The key to this release is the word "modular". ABB used to use single blocks to build up charging power. This charger is a shift to smaller power modules that are stacked to reach the power specification. More scalable and with higher redundancy if one module goes down. It may provide less power at peak but it will still charge.
Also, this is not the highest power charger. Not by a long shot.
