Enel said it has completed the installation of 3,730 electric vehicle charging stations across Italy under the country’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, part of a broader effort to expand charging infrastructure using funds from the European Union.
The stations were deployed across five regions—Campania, Lazio, Lombardy, Apulia and Sicily—covering 21 provinces. According to the company, the installations include 298 charging stations in the province of Naples, 227 in Milan, 111 in Bari, 112 in Catania and 396 in Rome.
Each station is equipped with two charging points capable of delivering up to 90 kW per connection. Drivers can access the chargers using Enel’s mobile application or card, while interoperability agreements allow use through around 160 mobility service providers.
The PNRR is Italy’s central reform and investment program designed to support economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, with funding directed toward projects including national EV charging infrastructure.
Enel said it has also secured contracts to deploy an additional 1,200 charging stations through the second and third PNRR tenders. Once these projects are completed, the company expects to operate around 5,000 charging stations under the program across nine regions, including Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Lazio, Campania, Apulia and Sicily.
The company noted that approximately 40% of the planned installations are located in southern Italy.
Enel said it has so far secured about half of the contracts awarded in the three PNRR tenders focused on urban charging infrastructure, reflecting its position in Italy’s EV charging market.
“These figures confirm Enel’s leadership in electric mobility, a pillar of the company’s energy transition strategy,” the company said in a statement.
The Italian government is also allocating funding through the PNRR for charging infrastructure along highways, complementing urban charging projects aimed at supporting wider electric vehicle adoption.
