Enel X, a subsidiary of Enel, has acquired a 12,5% stake in Hubject, an electric mobility joint venture founded in 2012 which has giant shareholders such as BMW, Bosch, Daimler, EnBW, Innogy, Siemens and Volkswagen.
Thanks to this acquisition i Enel X customers will be able to access the Hubject charging network. Simply put, EV drivers will be able to charge their cars at over 200 charging points all over the world, without the need to enter into new contracts in addition to the one already in place with your e-mobility service provider using Hubject's eRoaming services. An option that becomes fundamental especially when you are abroad.
Numbers in hand, "with the entry into the joint venture, Enel X extends the interoperability of its European network beyond the 8 public charging points already available of its customers, thus obtaining the possibility of accessing the entire network of the joint venture”, communicates the company in a note.
“By participating in Hubject, we are taking electric mobility to the next level,” he commented Francesco Venturini, global head of Enel X. – We are in fact expanding the role of Enel X as a provider of e-mobility services globally, with the provision of charging services beyond our network. The overall aim is to offer drivers of electric vehicles the possibility of top up without having to worry about who your supplier is or about being abroad. The necessary prerequisite for the diffusion of electric mobility is to simplify the life of those who decide to join this revolution, and we are completely committed to the challenge".
In addition to having significant shareholders, Hubject has over 600 partners. The 200 charging points that Enel X customers will be able to access from now on are located in Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, China, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Hungary.
