Ewiva’s commitment to support increasingly accessible, sustainable and affordable electric mobility continues. In fact, from May 1 to 31, 2025, at all Ewiva stations equipped enabled for contactless payment, e-drivers who choose this payment method will be able to take advantage of a 30 percent promotional rate, at a price of €0.65/kWh instead of €0.95/kWh.

This initiative is a concrete action that the joint venture between Enel X and Volkswagen Group takes with the aim of accelerating the transition to a zero-emission future by supporting the choice to travel electric.

Comments Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva: “With this promotion we want to offer a concrete incentive to all e-drivers so that they can access electric mobility even more easily, without sacrificing convenience. As a CPO, we are committed to the expansion of an ultra-fast network, as well as to the development of promotional initiatives that encourage informed use of public infrastructure. Enabling the energy transition means facilitating sustainable choices in everyday life, starting with simpler, more immediate and convenient charging, offering concrete benefits capable of strengthening users’ confidence and participation in the journey toward a more sustainable future.”

The promotion is valid until May 31 at all Ewiva recharge sites equipped with a contactless payment system, which accept credit, debit or prepaid cards from the Mastercard, Visa, VPay, Maestro circuits, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

More infrastructure, more interoperability, and new initiatives to make public charging increasingly accessible, thanks also to dedicated promotions and a shared commitment with the industry.

On the occasion of Earth Day, Ewiva – the joint venture between Enel X and the Volkswagen Group created to accelerate electric mobility in Italy – presents the environmental results achieved by its ultra-fast charging network, powered 100% by renewable energy.

Since its launch, Ewiva has recorded over 1 million charging sessions, enabling e-drivers to travel more than 200 million zero-emission kilometers – equivalent to over 5,000 times the Earth’s circumference. This has avoided the emission of over 25,000 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere, a reduction equivalent to planting more than 1 million trees.

The positive impact extends to air quality, thanks to the prevention of more than 1.5 tons of atmospheric particulate matter and over 60 tons of nitrogen oxides. It also brings benefits in terms of noise pollution: an amount of noise equivalent to that produced by more than 40,000 internal combustion vehicles has been avoided. These figures tell the story of a real transformation: Ewiva’s network is not just a charging infrastructure, but a catalyst for change that helps make cities cleaner, quieter, and more welcoming for the mobility of the future.

An ultra-fast, widespread, and reliable network

In the first quarter of 2025, Ewiva further expanded its presence, reaching 400 completed stations and over 1,400 HPC charging points distributed throughout Italy. The network now covers around 90% of Italian provinces and is interoperable with around 100 Italian and international mobility service providers (MSPs).

More than 80% of Ewiva charging stations are equipped with integrated POS systems, allowing direct payment at the station via card or smartphone, without subscriptions or registration, making them accessible even to occasional users.

Sustainability not only environmental, but also economic for users

Ewiva’s commitment to developing electric mobility is reflected not only in its infrastructure expansion and service quality but also in its strategy to make charging increasingly accessible and economically sustainable. Among the upcoming initiatives, the company has planned a promotion starting from May 1st, dedicated to users who charge via contactless using Mastercard, Visa, VPay, and Maestro debit, credit, or prepaid cards, or via Apple Pay and Google Pay.

This approach fits into a broader vision, where the joint effort of the entire supply chain – from CPOs to MSPs – is essential to building simpler, more transparent, and beneficial solutions and offers for users, making a tangible contribution to the spread of electric mobility in Italy.

“Contributing to the energy transition of our country also involves daily choices, like choosing to drive electric. Our goal is to make this choice easier, more accessible, and more convenient,” said Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva. “This is why – as a CPO – we are investing both in expanding the charging network and in launching promotional initiatives that directly benefit users – such as the upcoming promotion for contactless card charging – and the MSPs with whom we are interoperable.

Our initiatives toward MSPs are designed to promote a dynamic and effective transfer of benefits to end users. Our efforts will be even more effective in developing the market if MSPs work synergistically to make charging affordable and accessible. Only through active collaboration among all players in the industry can we strengthen trust in public infrastructure and jointly accelerate the sustainable growth of the entire ecosystem.”

The expansion of Ewiva’s ultra-fast charging network continues unabated. In the first quarter of 2025, the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group, which was established to accelerate the development of electric mobility in Italy, activated 97 new charging points (PoCs) at 23 new stations, further strengthening the capillarity of its infrastructure throughout the country.

The extension of Ewiva’s network in the first quarter of 2025 covered many Italian regions, with new activations in both metropolitan areas and small towns, demonstrating its commitment to making electric mobility accessible everywhere.

New ultra-fast charging stations activated across the country, starting in northern Italy: six in Emilia-Romagna, in the municipalities of Castel Maggiore (BO), Rimini, Sassuolo and Castelfranco Emilia, both in the province of Modena, Russi (RA) and Montecchio Nell’Emilia (RE); two in Piedmont, in Turin and Isola d’Asti (AT); one in Lombardy, in Varese; five in Veneto, in San Stino di Livenza (VE), Motta di Livenza (TR), Colceresa Nord and Colceresa Sud, both in the province of Vicenza, and Verona; and finally one in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in Martignacco (UD) . These are joined by a new charging station in Liguria, in Ceriale (SV).

In Central Italy, Ewiva also strengthened its network with four new charging sites: two in Lazio, in Rome and Montalto di Castro (VT), and two in Tuscany, in Pontassieve and Bagno a Ripoli, both in the province of Florence.

Finally, among the South and Islands, new activations included Basilicata, with a site in Potenza, and Sardinia, with two new sites in the municipalities of Loceri and Tortolì, both in the province of Nuoro.

To ensure a simple, quick and convenient charging experience, all the new stations are strategically placed near urban areas, points of interest or traffic junctions to allow all e-drivers to make the most of their charging time, indulging in a break and taking advantage of the many services in the surrounding area, such as bars, restaurants, supermarkets, stores and other businesses.

At many of the new stations it is possible to pay directly at the Ewiva charging station in contactless mode with debit, credit or prepaid cards from the Mastercard, Visa, Vpay and Maestro circuits, or via Apple Pay and Google Pay. This payment method is in addition to those already available throughout the rest of the Ewiva network, where it is in fact possible to recharge through cards or apps from about 100 different charging service providers (MSPs), or-if one’s vehicle is enabled-through the Plug&Charge feature, which allows one to start charging simply by connecting the vehicle to the column.

Overall, to date Ewiva has built 400 charging stations and more than 1,400 ultra-fast charging points throughout the country.
