Ewiva, the joint venture of Enel X and Volkswagen Group, created to accelerate the development of electric mobility in Italy, has inaugurated a new ultra-fast charging station at 5 Via Giovanni Lozano in Mazara del Vallo. This new site, built in synergy with dealer Essepiauto, contributes to the development of services and infrastructure to make electric mobility an increasingly easy choice. This achievement was also made possible thanks to the support of the municipal administration, which is attentive to the needs of e-drivers in the area.
The new station is equipped with 3 charging infrastructures, also called “columns,” of 300 kW each, for a total of 6 charging points (PoCs): an accessible and flexible solution for residents and tourists. In addition, the station is located in a commercial area, a short distance from the highway junction, making it a strategic and convenient stop for all e-drivers.
With this new activation, Ewiva reaches a total of 23 ultra-fast stations and 72 active high-power charging points in Sicily, helping to make e-mobility a practical option throughout the region. The chosen location in Mazara del Vallo is particularly relevant to support tourist traffic, especially during the summer season, and to meet the demand for ultra-fast charging solutions in the area.
“We are excited to inaugurate a new Ewiva charging station in Mazara del Vallo. This is another step forward in our mission to create a widespread and accessible charging network throughout Italy,” said Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva. “Sicily is a region of great relevance, both for the growing demand for sustainable mobility by residents and for the high influx of tourists, especially in the summer months. Thanks to the synergy with Essepiauto, we have created a true supply chain collaboration that has allowed us to bring an ultra-fast charging solution to Mazara del Vallo. This project is another concrete example of the importance of close collaboration between private entities and Public Administrations, for the development of a widespread network along the national territory. It is essential to continue in this direction, to ensure a safe and high-performance charging service, offering e-drivers a convenient and worry-free electric travel experience.”
“The auto market, as is well known, needs structural interventions and supports to accelerate demand from Customers. Ewiva’s investment in our territory responds to part of these needs, giving Citizens and Tourists the opportunity for ultrafast charging and thus meeting the need for convenient, fast and sustainable mobility,” said Paolo Tedesco, Owner of Essepiauto. “As the Tedesco Family and Essepiauto, we are happy to have helped Ewiva choose our city and our territory and to have invested in this modern site, the only one of this size and power characteristics in all of western Sicily, proving that our region needs the joint work of public and private to offer quality infrastructure and services.”
Also cutting the ribbon of the new high-power station was Mayor Salvatore Quinci, who said, “Mazara del Vallo continues its journey as a green city and welcomes this important investment by Ewiva and the Tedesco family, which confirms Essepiauto’s forward-looking vision.” “Sustainable mobility,” Quinci stressed, ”is now an established reality, and the expansion of the offer in the area of dedicated infrastructure with this innovative ultrafast recharging station responds to a twofold need: entrepreneurial of investors and an increase in services for our community and for tourists and visitors who are increasingly projecting themselves towards electric.
