Charge your EV and enjoy your free time: discover all Ewiva solutions

A network of high-power charging stations, open to all, available throughout the country, and located in areas with services and points of interest nearby. This is purposely done to have you manage the charging time your way!

How much time does it take on average to charge an EV battery? If there’s a frequently asked question about EVs from potential and actual EV owners, this is it. The answer depends on various factors connected to the infrastructure’s features, the EV make and model, as well as climate conditions. Ewiva, Italy’s largest ultra-fast charging network, stemming from a partnership between Enel X Way and Volkswagen Group, answers this question in two ways. On one side, by creating a high-power network (from 100 kW to 350kW) that lowers charging times (on average, 20 minutes in standard conditions), on the other, selecting sites where charging stations are located, not only based on criteria of extensiveness but also based on the availability of areas of interest and useful services for interested parties. This is all done to make the charging experience ever simpler, faster, and enjoyable, with the goal of spreading electric mobility throughout the country.
 

 
This is why, thanks to its high power, charging an EV at an Ewiva charging station reduces wait times but at the same time, it makes the wait worthwhile, turning it into a moment to enjoy what makes us truly happy: drinking coffee served tableside, a relaxing walk, reading a book, or some shopping. This is a time for self-pampering thanks to the many opportunities available near charging stations: while your EV battery is charging, you can stock up on some energy yourself!
 

Where are the Ewiva charging stations located?

Ewiva’s network extensively covers the Italian territory, with stations available in urban and suburban areas, from major towns to small hamlets, but also covering main roads and highways crossed daily by commuters and leisure travelers alike. In order to expand the reach of such infrastructure, Ewiva collaborates with public and private partners from a wide range of sectors to serve in the most effective way the needs of EV drivers, with the goal of placing charging stations in resource-rich locations like shopping malls, sports centers, hotels, cafés, and parking areas.

Various types of Ewiva sites are characterized by the number of charging points and their power output (from 100kW up to 350kW), in order to adapt to different contexts of urban and suburban mobility

Standalone

It’s the simplest and smallest solution that can be easily installed in urban centers and tourist hotspots. The Standalone solution features a single charging station with a connector, with a DC power output of up to 100 kW. Within a 5-minute walking range, toilets, cafès, restaurants, shops, and points of interest are all readily available.

Basic

It’s the solution for medium-large retail areas, from parking spaces to petrol stations, and other businesses that aim to enhance their offer by presenting an EV charging station to their customers. The Basic site from Ewiva is made up of two charging stations for a total of four DC charging spots, with a power output ranging from 150 kW to 350 kW, usually located within a walking range of 8 minutes from toilets, food courts, shops, and parking areas.

Convenience

Convenience is Ewiva’s solution for large-sized retail areas, from public and private parking areas to petrol stations, or other businesses that aim to offer their customers an EV charging service, as well as luring new ones through it. It features three charging stations with a total of six DC charging spots, from 150 kW to 350 kW, guaranteeing toilets, a food court, shopping, and parking areas within a 4-minute walking range.

Ewiva already opened its first Premium site in Rome, in Via Flaminia 871, inaugurated as part of the corporate launch in December 2022.
 

The future of electric mobility is already here

Reducing waiting times during the charging process while allowing e-drivers to enjoy the wait is something that gives added value to a charging experience that’s already simple and accessible to make it even more comfortable and efficient. This is true for daily journeys but also during longer trips. Today, planning an on-the-road getaway is easier thanks to a constantly growing extensive network and to the possibility to charging an EV at a hotel, in tourist hotspots, or simply on the route.
With Ewiva makes you save time, but also foster a totally new and pleasant driving experience: hassle-free and emissions-free!

EV: how much does it pollute throughout its lifecycle?

EVs are a sustainable solution that greatly reduces the environmental footprint. Let’sfocus on the whys.

Thanks to various studies elaborated in recent years, together with the market’s evolution, looking at the figures we can demonstrate that choosing EVs is a truly sustainable option from many points of view. As a matter of fact, EVs guarantee a vastly superior performance from an environmental point of view compared to currently available petrol-powered cars: they improve air quality, and consequently, people’s well-being. This overall reduction is particularly true for greenhouse gas emissions, while local emissions from car exhausts are written off and noise pollution is greatly lowered.

 

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

One of the main reasons that make EVs more sustainable than their petrol-powered counterparts is that the former generates much less greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, we’ve highlighted that they cut 70% of CO2 emissions throughout the lifecycle compared to an internal combustion engine (Source: ICCT). It’s also important to specify that this percentage is destined to grow in the future. First and foremost, the reduction in greenhouse gases depends on EVs running on electricity stored in the battery, thus avoiding the need to burn fossil fuels to generate the energy that powers the engine. However, the size of greenhouse gas emissions generated by EVs depends on the energy source used to power their batteries: if the electricity comes from renewable sources like wind, and solar, EVs can be virtually emissions-free. If instead
electricity is generated by fossil fuels, these vehicles can still generate emissions, albeit at significantly lower levels compared to petrol-powered cars.

 

Reduction of local polluting emissions

Replacing combustion with electricity is the way to do away with emissions typical of traditional engines. Having nothing to burn, this entails a strong reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), ammonia (NH3), nanoparticles, and other pollutants coming from the exhaust that combines in the atmosphere to form other secondary pollutants. Furthermore, these pollutants are contributing to the creation of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), worsening the air quality (Source: Transport & Environment). All of these substances are extremely harmful to humans, animals, and the entire ecosystem. EVs also deliver the added perk of reducing emissions of metallic particles during braking. Petrol-powered cars mostly use disc brakes that generate polluting emissions. On the contrary, EVs use the engine as a braking tool, reducing the need to act on braking clamps and consequently reducing emissions. It’s called regenerative braking and allows for maximizing energy recovery. So, instead of wasting energy through heat with the brakes, the system used the electric engine as a generator to charge the battery. When the driver brakes or uses the reverse drive, the electric engine works as a generator, converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electricity stored in the battery. Such a system boosts the car’s range and reduces the need to use traditional brakes and their related emissions of metallic particles. (Source: Transport & Environment).

 

Noise reduction

According to the European Environmental Agency, half of the urban population is exposed to levels of noise pollution north of 55 dBs. EVs are the solution to this issue because they’re much quieter compared to petrol-powered vehicles. Their low noise output is due to the lack of an internal combustion engine and to lower noise from tires rolling on the road, with both elements representing the main sources of noise in a traditional vehicle. Hence, investing in electric mobility can not only improve air quality but also, tackle noise pollution. As a matter of fact, the amount of noise reduction generated from EVs compared to traditional vehicles basically amounts to halving vehicle traffic. On average, we estimate a 3 dB reduction compared to a petrol-powered car traveling at 50km/h next to a pedestrian.

In urban centers, where traffic noise levels can get particularly high, the consequences of noise pollution can be severe. Scientific studies have demonstrated a direct correlation between traffic noises and health issues like anxiety, depression, insomnia, obesity, hypertension, cardiac diseases, strokes, as well as hearing issues. Creating a quieter and more enjoyable environment for drivers, pedestrians, and dwellers helps improve living standards while preserving the well-being of people constantly exposed to traffic noises.
