Through their sponsorship of SEL3C4RS, Ewiva and Motus-E reaffirm their commitment to promoting electric mobility and supporting the education of the next generation, thereby contributing to the development of skills essential for the growth of Italy’s electric vehicle industry.

 

But that’s not all: the initiative is part of a broader vision that recognizes the energy transition as a technological and industrial transformation and, above all, a cultural shift. Investing in young people means, in fact, guiding the sector’s evolution with greater awareness, knowledge, and responsibility, fostering a new culture of sustainable mobility in the country.

 

The Network of Schools for Sustainable Mobility

The Network of Schools for Sustainable Mobility (www.rete-emobility.it) brings together 48 technical and vocational schools across 13 Italian regions and promotes a culture of sustainability in line with the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda. In addition to training teachers and students on electric mobility, it collaborates with businesses and universities on technology transfer initiatives and FSL (School-Work Training) programs.

Furthermore, the Network has launched a national training program leading to the certification of “Technician for the Design, Management, and Maintenance of Sustainable Mobility Systems,” now in its sixth edition and carried out in collaboration with Motus-E, the University of Messina, and the Polytechnic University of Bari. To date, the program has involved approximately 1,700 students and generated over 40,000 hours of training.

Ewiva’s high-power network continues to expand: 430 new ultra-fast charging stations will be activated in 2025

Ewiva, the Enel Group’s ultra-fast charging station operator, takes stock of the year just ended. In 2025, the company activated an additional 430 high-power charging points (PoCs), distributed across 105 new stations spread throughout Italy from north to south, achieving the milestone of at least one new activation per Italian region. These figures bring the total Ewiva network to over 1,600 charging points across approximately 450 sites nationwide, all powered by 100% renewable energy.

 

The number of charging points activated in 2025 marks an increase of nearly 150% compared to the previous year. This growth has significantly impacted all geographic areas: nearly +160% in the North, over +50% in Central Italy, and a particularly significant increase in the South and the Islands, where growth exceeded +210%, demonstrating the strong potential of these regions for the development of electric mobility.

 

Continuing its commitment to making charging even more accessible, convenient, and fast, in 2025 Ewiva enabled the entire network to accept payments via POS terminals integrated with contactless technology, using credit cards, debit cards, or digital payment systems (Apple Pay and Google Pay). This payment system complements the other methods already available on the Ewiva network.

 

In addition, in 2025, the first charging station of the Ewiva network for e-trucks was inaugurated in Piacenza, marking the first facility of its kind to be activated on public land in Italy. This achievement represents an important step toward building the infrastructure needed to support electric logistics, a strategic sector for the decarbonization of freight transport at the national level.

 

Education and culture: change also starts with awareness

Alongside the widespread development of the high-power charging network across the country, Ewiva reaffirmed its commitment to public outreach in 2025. In fact, for the company, the development of electric mobility also depends on a widespread cultural shift, one that involves, first and foremost, the younger generations, and promotes the building of a shared awareness of sustainability and innovation.

 

During the 2024–2025 school year, Ewiva launched the first edition of the E-MOBILITY@SCHOOL educational project, which involved over 500 classes and approximately 12,500 students across Italy, bringing a curriculum on electric mobility, sustainability, and innovation to secondary schools. The cultural value of the initiative was also recognized at the national level, with the project being named a finalist for the 2025 Blue Green Economy Award in the “Social Sustainability – Small Businesses” category. This success led to the project being renewed for the 2025–2026 school year as well.

 

Also in the educational sphere, the company sponsored the latest edition of the National Sustainable Mobility Competition (SEL3C4RS), held in March 2025 in Rimini as part of KEY Energy: the initiative, organized by the Network of Schools for Sustainable Mobility, involved schools and technical institutes from all over Italy in a competition dedicated to the design and construction of scale models of electric vehicles. A project that combined hands-on experience with the dissemination of practical knowledge.

 

Finally, in 2025, Ewiva launched the sector’s first TV and radio campaign, which literally gave a voice to the network’s charging stations, transforming them into the stars of an active promotional campaign throughout the month of May.

 

Environmental Impact Figures

From the start of operations through the end of 2025, the Ewiva network has supplied over 50 million kWh of renewable electricity, enabling more than 1.5 million charging sessions and over 300 million kilometers of electric driving—a distance equivalent to nearly 7,500 times the circumference of the Earth.

 

According to Ewiva’s data, this usage has prevented the emission of over 90 tons of nitrogen oxides, more than 2 tons of particulate matter, and over 35,000 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere—a reduction that, in environmental terms, is equivalent to planting more than 2 million trees. There has also been a positive impact in terms of noise pollution: recharging with Ewiva has prevented an amount of urban noise comparable to that generated by approximately 60,000 internal combustion engine vehicles in a year.
