Month: July 2025

Ewiva closes the first half of 2025 with numbers that tell of a concrete transformation: that of an increasingly electric, accessible and aware mobility, driven by innovation and listening to the real needs of e-drivers. In the first six months of the year, the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group further expanded its national high-power network, with a total of 52 new stations activated and nearly 210 charging points (PoCs) distributed throughout the country.

Capillary growth: new activations from North to South, including islands

In Northern Italy, new sites have been activated in Emilia-Romagna (14), Lombardy (7), Veneto (7), Piedmont (6), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (2), Liguria (1) and Valle d’Aosta (1), in line with the current concentration of e-drivers in these regions and the greater maturity of the e-mobility market in the North.

In Central Italy, the network has been strengthened with new activations in Lazio (3) and Tuscany (2), also providing coverage along the main tourist and commuter routes; while in the South, Ewiva has consolidated its presence in Abruzzo (1), Molise (1) and Basilicata (1), regions where the charging infrastructure is assuming an increasingly strategic role in supporting the electrification of transport. Overall, with these new activations, the number of Ewiva sites rises to 48, for a total of 163 high-power charging points available in the southern regions (excluding islands).

In the islands, 5 new sites have been activated in Sardinia and 1 in Sicily – for a total of 42 charging stations and 130 charging points activated in total by Ewiva – confirming the company’s commitment to bringing electric mobility to even the most complex geographic contexts, where the availability of charging is a key factor in the spread of electric vehicles.

More accessibility and awareness for e-drivers

In the first half of 2025, Ewiva continued its efforts to make public charging not only widespread, but also more accessible. In May, the company launched a special promotion designed to incentivize electric vehicle use during the first major commute of the year, offering a concrete and affordable alternative to traditional mobility. The initiative was accompanied by the industry’s first national advertising campaign, with the aim of raising awareness of electric mobility among the general public and stimulating a more conscious and accessible approach to recharging.

In line with this path, Ewiva also introduced a new rate for payment by credit card/debit card directly at the charging station, designed to offer an easier and more convenient charging experience, especially for occasional users or those not yet tied to charging service providers.

Emissions avoided and environmental benefits: the concrete effect of Ewiva recharges

Since the inception of the joint venture to date, more than 1.3 million recharges have been made on the Ewiva network. A volume that has generated significant and measurable environmental impacts throughout:

– 30,000 tons of CO₂ avoided, equivalent to approximately 1,623,185 trees planted;

– 70 tons of atmospheric particulate matter and 1.8 tons of nitrogen oxides less;

– Noise pollution abatement equal to that produced in one year by about 46,500 endothermic-engine vehicles;

– 240 million kilometers driven electrically, thanks to more than 40 million kWh delivered.

“These results confirm that we are moving in the right direction: every recharge made on our network is a concrete gesture toward a more sustainable and conscious mobility model, said Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva. “But we know that the electric transition can only become a reality if we can make it simple, accessible and close to people. This is why, alongside network expansion, we have also chosen to invest in initiatives that bring users closer to electric, facilitating the charging experience and helping to spread a new mobility culture. Listening to the real needs of e-drivers, including those of those who are entering this world for the first time, is an integral part of our vision: to build a network that is technologically advanced, but also inclusive and oriented toward everyday use.”

The growth of the Ewiva network continues: the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group, created to accelerate the spread of electric mobility in Italy, announces the activation of a new ultra-fast charging station in Montecchio Emilia, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Located at Strada Sant’Ilario 57, the station is inserted in a strategic area, inside the parking lot of a shopping center and near the Silvio D’Arzo School Complex, representing a new step toward an increasingly widespread service close to citizens.

The new site is equipped with 2 columns – or charging infrastructure – of 150 kW each, for a total of 4 high-power charging points (PoCs). The Ewiva columns, as usual, offer contactless payment modes with credit, debit or prepaid cards (Mastercard, Visa, VPay, Maestro circuits) and with Apple Pay or Google Pay. It is also possible to pay via app or RFID card from one of more than 100 Charging Service Providers (Mobility Service Providers) partners, or use the Plug&Charge feature, for automatic charging without the need for manual authentication.

“With this new activation,” says Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva, “we give further impetus to the development of electric mobility in Emilia-Romagna, an area where we already operate with more than 20 ultra-fast stations and 75 charging points. Montecchio Emilia is a virtuous example of public-private collaboration: each new station is an opportunity to encourage sustainable mobility choices, accessible to all.”

The realization of the station took place in synergy with the Municipality of Montecchio Emilia, which strongly supported an innovative and sustainable project. “We believe,” said Deputy Mayor, Bruno Aleotti, “that the activation of this service available to citizens and those passing through the area is an important step to promote mobility that respects the environment, the territory and public health. Success comes through modern infrastructures that reduce charging times and are easily accessible by encouraging the purchase of electric cars by citizens.”

Fénis (AO), July 10, 2025 – Network growth, attention to the territory and an increasingly widespread service: Ewiva – the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group, created to accelerate the spread of electric mobility in Italy – announces the activation of a new ultra-fast charging station in Fénis (AO), confirming its commitment to an increasingly widespread electric transition, also in mountainous territories. This new station joins the other two sites already active in Valle d’Aosta, completing coverage on the Saint Vincent – Aosta route.

The new site is located in the Chez Sapin locality, along the Regional Road, at the entrance to the Municipality of Fénis and is equipped with 3 charging infrastructures, also called “columns,” of 300 kW each, for a total of 6 high-power charging points. The columns are equipped with a contactless payment system, accepting credit, debit or prepaid cards from the Mastercard, Visa, VPay, and Maestro circuits, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. It is also possible, however, to pay for recharging through the application or RFID card of one’s MSP of choice. To date, there are more than 100 Ewiva-enabled electric charging service providers. Those, on the other hand, who own an enabled car will be able to recharge by taking advantage of the Plug&Charge feature, which provides access to the charging service automatically, without the use of apps or cards.

The choice of the location of the new site is not random. In fact, it is located a short distance from the famous Castle of Fénis, one of the most visited manor houses in the region, and right in front of the Comtes de Challant Ethical Hotel, a hotel facility attentive to social inclusion.

“With this activation,” says Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva, “we expand our network in an area of great touristic and cultural value. Each station we activate is one more opportunity to bring people closer to electric mobility, offering a simple, fast and accessible charging experience for everyone.”

“The site was built in collaboration with the Municipal Administration of Fénis, which believed from the beginning in the importance of investing in a sustainable and innovative infrastructure: “Our municipality has always been attentive to environmental issues,” said Mattia Nicoletta, Mayor of Fénis, “and having believed in this project is a reconfirmation of the direction in which the Municipal Administration has been looking over the past ten years, placing respect for and protection of the environment among its priorities.”

Ewiva sets new price for payment by credit or debit card at €0.86/kWh.
From now on, the new base price, including VAT, will be €0.86/kWh, replacing the current rate of €0.95/kWh.

More good news for all e-drivers: Ewiva, the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group, created to accelerate the spread of electric mobility in Italy, is applying a new lowered rate for recharges made through a contactless payment system (credit and ATM card) at enabled stations in its ultra-fast network. From now on, the new base price, including VAT, will be €0.86/kWh, replacing the current tariff of €0.95/kWh.

Applied as of July 1st, this new base rate represents further confirmation of the company’s desire and commitment to help make electric mobility increasingly accessible, transparent and sustainable for everyone, especially for occasional users who prefer immediate and simple recharging solutions, such as paying directly at the charging station by credit card or ATM. In fact, there are many initiatives and projects that Ewiva is steadily launching to offer an ultra-fast charging network that is reliable, widespread and open to all electric vehicles, powered by 100 percent renewable energy.

The new price of 0.86€/kWh, is valid on all Ewiva sites equipped with a direct payment system via credit, debit or prepaid cards of the Mastercard, Visa, VPay, Maestro circuits, as well as via Apple Pay and Google Pay.
