ABB Terra AC: QR code payment coming soon
The ABB Terra AC comes with a socket or tethered cable, at 11 or 22 kW, with LAN and Wi-Fi, and mobile in the C variants. It supports OCPP 1.6J and authorisation by RFID or app. That makes it a good fit for businesses, offices and car parks where visitors should pay.

Example calculations for the ABB Terra AC
Charging time and price at 0.45 CHF/kWh, calculated with Ladehase's tariff engine. The final amount is rounded to 5 centimes.
| Energy charged | Time at 22 kW | Time at 11 kW | Amount at 0.45 CHF/kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0 kWh | 27 min | 55 min | CHF 4.50 |
| 20.0 kWh | 55 min | 1 h 49 min | CHF 9.00 |
| 40.0 kWh | 1 h 49 min | 3 h 38 min | CHF 18.00 |
Charging power also depends on the car: many electric cars charge on AC at 11 kW at most, some much less on a single phase. Charging losses are not included.
With an idle fee
Example: 20 kWh at 11 kW, then the car stays at the charge point for 3 h. From 1 h after charging ends, every started minute costs 5 centimes.
Amount: CHF 15.00, of which idle fee CHF 6.00
Your own tariff
Start fee, idle time, a different price per kWh or many charges a month: work out your case in the charging cost calculator.
Requirements
What you need so that guests can pay with the ABB Terra AC.
- Internet
- The ABB Terra AC needs a stable connection at the parking space via Wi-Fi or LAN. Check the reception in the garage before you start.
- Authorisation
- The ABB Terra AC is connected to Ladehase via OCPP and only starts a charge after authorisation. The station is then tied to Ladehase rather than to another backend.
- Payment account
- An account with zahls.ch or Freika, where payments arrive directly. For the PAX IM30 terminal you need Freika.
- Metering
- Ladehase bills with the charging station's meter readings. If you need certified values, plan for a separate MID meter.
- Sign
- QR code and tariff clearly visible at the charge point, as a PDF to print yourself or ordered weatherproof.
