Name of the Project
E-VIA FLEX-E mobility.
Location
Italy, France and Spain.
Client
The project is a collaboration between EDF, Enedis and Verbund, Nissan and Groupe Renault, as well as Ibil.
The project is coordinated by Enel and cofinanced by the European Commission (EC).
Project Description
The project entails the installation of 14 ultrafast charging stations in Europe – eight in Italy, four in Spain and two in France.
The aim is to test a network that enables new electric vehicles (EVs) with a range of more than 300 km to travel long distances, and to contribute to the development and spread of EVs in Europe.
The charging stations will all be high-power, ranging from 150 kW to 350 kW.
The E-VIA FLEX-E project will join the envisaged EVA+, or Electric Vehicles Arteries, project, also cofinanced by the EC, which involves the installation of 180 fast-charging points, or Fast Recharging Plus, in three years along Italian extra-urban corridors. The first 40 EVA+ fast stations have been installed, making it possible to travel by EV along the Rome–Milan route, among others.
