Enel X Way Romania, part of Enel X Way, a company of the Enel Group dedicated to electric mobility, collaborates with the retailer PENNY for the installation of a network of 64 charging stations for electric vehicles, representing a total of 128 charging points.

With a total installed power of 1,408 kW, 29 of them are already operational in 23 localities across the country: Arad, Baia Mare, Bistriţa, Bucharest, Buzău, Craiova, Deva, Dudu, Filiași, Gura Humorului, Măgurele, Mangalia, Petroşani, Ploieşti, Roman, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Slobozia, Târgovişte, Târgu Mureş, Timişoara, Valea Târsei, Voluntari. Another 35 stations, located in the parking spaces of PENNY stores, in as many localities, are due to become operational later this year.

With these units, the national network of Enel X Way Romania will grow to almost 500 charging points in 63 localities in the country, with a total installed power of over 8,700 kW.

“We continue to expand our electric mobility infrastructure in the context of a growing need from the drivers of electric and hybrid vehicles to have such charging points in the vicinity of the residences or places they go to regularly. Partnerships with many retailers, such as the one recently concluded with PENNY, generate immediate benefits for those who have opted for electric mobility. At the same time, through such projects, Enel X Way Romania accelerates the transition to green mobility, with zero emissions, and to electrified transportation”, said Andrei Mihalciu, Manager Enel X Way Romania.
