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.”
