Berlino – Enel Group subsidiary Enel Distribuzione, and Hubject GmbH, a Berlin-based joint venture formed by BMW,Bosch, Daimler, EnBW, RWE and Siemens, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of a Europe-wide eRoaming interoperable charging platform. This will allow electric vehicle owners to charge their cars at stations owned by different operators while still being billed directly to their accounts, regardless of their distributor, meaning that the dream of a fully sustainable transport system could become a reality. Thanks to the creation of a charging network of five thousand stations, driving from Palermo in Sicily all the way to North Cape in Norway with a zero emissions electric vehicle will soon be possible. The partnership between Enel and Hubject is the result of the EU- funded Green eMotion research project, which was launched in 2011 and involves 43 partners. (9colonne)
