Ewiva, the Enel Group’s operator of ultra-fast charging stations, announces an update to its charging fares, effective August 1, 2026.

For users who pay for charging directly at participating stations using a credit, debit, or prepaid card, the new fare is €0.80/kWh (VAT included), with no time restrictions.

At the same time, Ewiva will also apply a rate adjustment to the price list for interoperable Mobility Service Providers (MSPs), confirming its commitment to fostering an interoperable ecosystem and supporting the spread of electric mobility in Italy.

The new fare update confirms Ewiva’s commitment to making electric mobility even more accessible to e-drivers, while continuing to invest in network expansion and service quality. The goal is to offer e-drivers an increasingly simple, transparent, and accessible charging experience, through a widespread network distributed along the country’s main routes and in urban and suburban areas.

The retail rate will be valid at all Ewiva locations equipped with contactless payment systems that accept Mastercard, Visa, VPay, and Maestro cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

With over 1,800 charging points distributed across approximately 500 stations nationwide, Ewiva continues to develop its Italian high-power charging network open to all electric vehicles, helping to accelerate the transition to increasingly sustainable mobility.

Following the Piacenza site, Ewiva has built a second facility for electric heavy-duty vehicles in the Emilia-Romagna region—a strategic logistics hub connecting Northern and Southern Italy.

 

Ewiva, the Enel Group’s ultra-fast charging station operator, has taken a decisive new step in the electrification of heavy-duty transport by announcing the opening of a new charging station in Noceto, in the province of Parma. This is no ordinary station; it is the second site dedicated to ultra-fast charging for e-trucks, following the recent launch of the first facility in Piacenza.

 

The new Ewiva site on Via dei Bersaglieri (in the Pontetaro area), developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Noceto, was designed to precisely meet the operational needs of electric heavy-duty transport by ensuring high power output, adequate space, and ease of maneuvering. The station features a total of 8 charging points: four 400 kW ultra-fast charging points dedicated to electric trucks, and four 300 kW charging points designed for light electric vehicles. The station utilizes a drive-through layout with extra-large bays (up to 20×4 meters) and a design that allows for smooth maneuvering—even for articulated vehicles—alongside clear signage and ample space to facilitate safe entry, exit, and parking.

 

The site’s location, right next to the Parma Ovest motorway exit, further enhances its strategic value, making it a key reference point for drivers of electric heavy-duty vehicles traveling along major national routes. Once again, Emilia-Romagna confirms its status as a strategic region for the development of high-power charging infrastructure dedicated to freight transport; it is a region that serves as one of the country’s key logistics hubs, a vital link between Northern and Southern Italy, and a crossroads for industrial and commercial flows.

 

The project was made possible through collaboration with the Municipality of Noceto, which supported the creation of infrastructure capable of combining technological innovation, environmental sustainability, and local development, thereby making a tangible contribution to the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport.

 

Mayor Fabio Fecci stated: “I would like to highlight the importance of the agreement signed with the company Ewiva, which grants surface rights to this municipal site for the construction of a heavy-vehicle charging station, while ensuring rental income for the Municipality. The agreement thus transforms a parking area that saw little use into a technologically advanced hub of national significance. Following this project, 20 parking spaces remain at the site. A key aspect of the initiative,” Fecci continued, “is the charging station’s strategic and favorable location, situated in the immediate vicinity of the A15 motorway exit. Noceto thus ranks among the very first municipalities nationwide—and second only to Piacenza within the region—to host cutting-edge infrastructure dedicated entirely to charging electric trucks. It is becoming a crucial reference point for ‘green’ heavy-freight transport routes, hosted within a public space.”

 

With the launch of the Noceto site, Ewiva strengthens its presence in Emilia-Romagna, where it now operates 53 ultra-fast charging stations—including two for e-trucks—and a total of 206 charging points. This move reaffirms the company’s commitment to developing an extensive, high-power network that supports all segments of electric mobility, including more challenging sectors such as heavy-duty vehicles.

 

The second edition of “E-MOBILITY@SCHOOL – The electrifying journey begins today” has come to a close. This educational project, promoted by Ewiva—the Enel Group’s operator of ultra-fast charging stations—and carried out in collaboration with Neways, aims to raise awareness among the younger generation about environmental sustainability, the energy transition, and electric mobility.

 

The educational program concluded with a creative contest centered on the theme “Energy and Sustainable Mobility: How Do You Envision the Future?”: through artistic works inspired by Ewiva’s values—freedom, sustainability, maximum power, and accessibility—students were invited to envision the future of electric mobility, transforming the knowledge, ideas, and reflections they had developed during the school year into creative projects.

 

The winners of the second edition of the contest were:

– I.I.S. G. Meroni in Lissone (MB) – Class 5^ TGC2 with the project “An Integrated Ecosystem”;

– I.I.S. Polo 3 in Fano (PU) – Class 4^P Archimede with the project “Another Path Is Possible”;

– I.I.S. Enzo Ferrari in Castellammare di Stabia (NA) – Class 2^A with the project “Light on Tomorrow, the Awakening of a Sustainable World”.

 

This is a particularly significant achievement for I.I.S. G. Meroni in Lissone, which has once again established itself as a key player in the project by winning for the second consecutive year. Also noteworthy is the significant participation of I.I.S. Polo 3 in Fano, which entered the contest with four classes and four different projects. The result achieved by I.I.S. Enzo Ferrari in Castellammare di Stabia is also noteworthy, reflecting the widespread participation in the project recorded in Campania, one of the regions that participated with the greatest involvement alongside Lombardy and Piedmont.

 

The three winning schools will receive a voucher worth €1,000 to purchase educational materials. In addition, the selected projects may serve as a source of inspiration for urban renewal art projects promoted by the Enel Group’s Charging Point Operator, such as the decoration of electrical cabinets and other functional elements at charging stations. An initiative that aims to foster students’ creativity while helping to strengthen the connection between charging stations, local communities, and the values of sustainable mobility at the local level.

 

A project that grows alongside the culture of sustainability

Sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security and aimed at high schools across Italy, the “E-MOBILITY@SCHOOL – The Electrifying Journey Begins Today” initiative has seen significant growth compared to its first edition, involving over 700 classes and reaching approximately 17,500 students from the north to the south of the country.

 

Throughout the school year, students and teachers had access to an educational kit focused on environmental sustainability, renewable energy, climate change, and the evolution of electric mobility, with content aligned with the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda and the civic education curriculum. Rounding out the program were six in-person meetings with Ewiva experts—twice as many as in the previous edition—which fostered direct dialogue between schools and businesses on the topics of the ecological transition and encouraged active student participation, including through fun, educational activities.

Ewiva, the Enel Group’s charging point operator (CPO), announces a new promotion based on dynamic pricing, offering more favorable terms that vary by time of day and day of the week. The initiative, which kicked off on Monday, May 4, 2026, and will last until July 31, 2026, will be available at all Ewiva sites where a contactless payment system that accept credit, debit, or prepaid cards from the Mastercard, Visa, VPay, and Maestro networks, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay, is available.

 

Compared to the standard rate of €0.86/kWh, the charging price will therefore vary by time of day and day of the week:

– Monday – Saturday during nighttime hours (9:00 PM – 6:59 AM) and all day Sunday: €0.77/kWh.

– Monday – Saturday (7:00 AM – 8:59 PM): €0.82/kWh.

 

In this context, Ewiva ranks among the first HPC (High Power Charging) operators in Italy to implement a dynamic pricing model on a large scale, which allows the cost of charging to be adjusted based on usage times, making the service more flexible for e-drivers, especially during periods of higher mobility such as Sundays and the summer months.

The initiative, in line with the Enel Group’s strategy—which has already implemented dynamic pricing across its charging network—is also being extended to all interoperable charging service providers (MSPs): Ewiva will offer favorable terms to its partners, with the aim of fostering an increasingly collaborative ecosystem and supporting the expansion of electric vehicle charging throughout the country.

Ewiva, the Enel Group’s operator of ultra-fast charging stations, continues to expand its high-power charging network and announces the launch of a new station in Campione d’Italia, at Piazzale Maestri Campionesi, in a high-traffic area that is a major attraction for the region.

 

In fact, the new site is located across from the Casino, along the promenade that runs alongside Lake Lugano, in a setting that combines local mobility with international traffic. The location makes the site particularly convenient for the daily commutes of cross-border workers between Italy and the Canton of Ticino, as well as for the tourist traffic that flows through the area year-round.

 

The station is equipped with a total of 3 High Power Charging stations, including 2 charging points of 150 kW each and 1 of 300 kW, for a total of 6 charging points (PoC), designed to offer a fast and reliable service in a high-traffic location. Located within a large parking area and a short distance from bars, restaurants, and amenities, the site allows e-drivers to efficiently use their charging time, integrating it with their activities, whether during daily commutes or on longer trips.

 

The new charging stations in Campione d’Italia are also equipped with a contactless payment system and accept credit, debit, or prepaid cards from the Mastercard, Visa, VPay, and Maestro networks, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay, in addition to the option of using an app or an RFID card from operators compatible with the Ewiva network, as well as Plug&Charge technology for compatible vehicles.

 

“We are proud to see Campione d’Italia grow as a destination equipped with top-notch infrastructure, supporting the region’s tourism and economic development,” comments Campione’s mayor, Roberto Canesi.

 

With this new launch, Ewiva consolidates its presence in Lombardy, where the network now includes 70 ultra-fast charging stations for a total of approximately 250 charging points, helping to make the infrastructure supporting electric mobility increasingly widespread, even in strategic areas with international connections.

Another step forward for the development of electric mobility in Veneto: Ewiva, the company created to accelerate electric mobility in Italy, has built – in collaboration with Consorzio ZAI, an organization that has been promoting the economic and infrastructural development of the area for decades – a high-power charging station in the heart of the city’s industrial and commercial area.

 

Consisting of two HPC (High Power Charging) charging stations, each with a capacity of 150 kW, for a total of four charging points, the site is located at Viale Gerhard Richard Gumpert 1, near the Verona Nord exit of the A22 motorway: a strategic location that meets the needs of those who travel for work or cross the city along the main north-south routes.

 

Recently activated, the station has already enabled drivers to travel over 200,000 kilometers with zero emissions, thanks to the recharges carried out and considering the average number of kilometers traveled per kWh recharged, confirming the growing demand for fast and reliable public charging solutions even in non-metropolitan areas.

 

This is the first Ewiva HPC site in the municipality of Verona, adding to a constantly growing network: in Veneto, there are already more than 20 sites in operation, for a total of more than 90 charging points. Numerous new activations are planned in the region and in the province of Verona in the coming months.

 

“This new infrastructure,” says Matteo Gasparato, President of Consorzio ZAI, “is not just an additional service for electric vehicle drivers, but part of our strategy to rethink the industrial area of Verona in a modern and sustainable way. Integrating high-power charging into a logistics hub like ours means supporting the energy transition in transport without compromising the competitiveness of businesses and the quality of services offered to those who work and travel in this area every day.”

 

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. The full map of Ewiva charging sites is available at the following link: https://ewiva.com/colonnine-ricarica/

 

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.
