Ewiva inaugurates new charging hub for electric trucks in Northern Italy

Ewiva, a company founded specifically to accelerate electric mobility, and the Municipality of Piacenza, in Northern Italy, have inaugurated the first ultra-fast charging station for electric trucks built on public land by Ewiva in Italy. The new facility represents a fundamental step towards the decarbonization of heavy transport and a model for the logistics of the future. Indeed, Italy is quite poor in terms of charging hub designed for trucks. There’s one hub recently inaugurated by Milence in the province of Mantua, as well as another option close to the port of Savona, in Liguria.

The station built by Ewiva covers 2,400 square meters, approximately, and has six charging points, each with a capacity of 400 kW, with a drive-through layout and extra-large parking spaces (20×4 meters) designed to facilitate maneuvering and charging, even for articulated vehicles. The area is equipped with clear signage, optimal lighting, and is accessible to all: ramps for people with reduced mobility and protective barriers are included.

Another charging hub for e-trucks in Italy

Strategically located near the highway and a commercial area with services and restaurants, the new facility is accessible to all electric vehicles, not just trucks. With this project, Ewiva strengthens its presence in the Emilia-Romagna region. In Piacenza alone, there are now four facilities in operation, for a total of 15 charging points.

“The inauguration of the Piacenza site represents a paradigm shift for electric mobility and logistics in Italy,” said Daniela Biscarini, CEO of Ewiva. “For the first time, heavy vehicles can count on a dedicated, efficient, and strategically located infrastructure.”
