SMATRICS EnBW opens additional fast-charging park in Italy

12 HPC charging points in Palmanova at the A4/A23 highway junction near the Slovenian border. Important fast-charging hub between Austria, Italy and Slovenia for travelers and international long-distance trips.

Just in time for the holidays and the upcoming travel season, the leading operator of fast charging infrastructure for e-cars in Austria, SMATRICS EnBW, is commissioning its next fast charging park in northern Italy.

The Palmanova site is located at the busy traffic hub with the two highways A4 (Turin-Trieste) and A23 (Palmanova-Tarvis). In future, it will offer travelers a high-performance charging infrastructure - especially for connections between Austria, Italy and Slovenia.

"With the new fast-charging park in Palmanova, we are setting another important milestone for cross-border e-mobility in Europe. The location between Austria, Italy and Slovenia makes the site a real mobility hub for sustainable travel - ideal for holidaymakers as well as for international long-distance journeys,” explains Thomas Landsbek, CEO of SMATRICS EnBW.

There are currently twelve HPC (High Power Charging) charging points with up to 400 kilowatts of power available. Depending on the vehicle model, this allows up to 400 kilometers of range to be recharged in just 15 minutes. This means that travelers can reach Venice, Florence or Munich, for example, without having to make another charging stop. The location is also equipped for the future: An expansion with additional charging points is already planned.

This means that there are currently 32 SMATRICS EnBW ultra-fast charging points available in northern Italy. Like all other SMATRICS EnBW charging parks, the site in Palmanova is also powered by 100% renewable energy. Two further locations with 16 HPC charging points each between Venice and Trieste and between Bergamo and Milan are currently being planned. Like the SMATRICS EnBW locations in Austria, these locations are also part of the EnBW HyperNetwork.
