Electric mobility: the European Investment Bank is racing alongside Enel X

The Enel X National Programme, which aims to install a first phase of 7,000 stations by 2020 and to reach 14,000 by 2022, represents an important turning point towards a future in which greater attention is paid to climate change and efficient, ecological solutions are available that are accessible to all. The EBI, which is committed to supporting projects that combine technological intelligence with low environmental impact, will contribute about 50% of Enel X Mobility’s total investment.

The charging stations Quick and Fast are the key elements of the infrastructure network that will be installed throughout Italy. The Quick stations, with a power output of 22kW, will be situated in urban areas, while the extra-urban areas will feature Fast (50kW) and Ultra Fast (over 150kW) stations. This means nationwide coverage is guaranteed, both in the cities where 60% of the charging stations will be located and in extra-urban areas. The infrastructure also includes the charging stations of the projects co-financed by the European Commission: the EVA+ (Electric Vehicles Arteries) project which will install 180 charging points over 3 years along extra-urban routes; and the E-VIA FLEX-E and Central European Ultra Charging projects which will provide high-power charging at 46 sites for the latest generation of electric vehicles with a range of over 400 km (commercially available by the end of 2018), as well as for the new electric market that is targeting all drivers.

The Enel X National Plan can count not only on the support of the regional administrations, institutions and 350 (to date) municipalities with which it has already signed agreements, but also on the partnerships implemented with commercial and corporate organisations which will enable the installation of charging infrastructures in open-access private areas.

The race towards e-mobility never stops, except for a charge at Enel X stations.
