ROME – With the opening of the first city area for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles and the first HPC (high power charging) site of the European project ‘CEUC’, Rome is confirmed as the capital of sustainable mobility. The Corso Francia store, inaugurated today by Enel X in collaboration with Volkswagen Group Italia, offers not only services dedicated to electric mobility for cars, but also technologies for energy efficiency and financial services.
“This is another important step to make Rome increasingly smart and green – said the mayor of Roma Capitale, Virginia Raggi, who spoke at the inauguration -. With over 2.2 million journeys made from June to December 2020, with scooters and electric bikes in sharing, the capital of Italy is confirmed as one of the most virtuous cities in the country. With this in mind, we are pursuing greener and more sustainable public transport initiatives and, recently, we approved the Rome Smart City plan , to create a city capable of moving around the needs of citizens “.
“The opening in corso Francia – underlined Francesco Venturini, CEO of Enel X – is part of the infrastructure program of our country which currently has 12 thousand Enel X recharging points, for a total of 20 thousand points throughout the country. .
Soon the issue of the motorway issue will also be solved, with the electrification of the designated areas. We are working on two motorway refueling stations right on the outskirts of Rome. “This, as part of the Simplification 2020 decree, which provides for the installation of fast charging points every 50 km by motorway concessionaires, a condition that turning point for electric mobility ‘extended’ and accessible to all. Also because, by now, the mobility of the future goes in that direction: “The Vw group – said Massimo Nordio, CEO of VW Group Italia – we have foreseen the deadline for the platform for electric motors in 2026, by the 1930s the ‘overtaking of the electric over traditional motors will certainly be a reality “.
