"Electric mobility will play a fundamental role in the progressive decarbonisation of our economy" says Francesco Starace, CEO and General Manager of Enel "The benefits are not only environmental: the research 100 Italian E-Mobility Stories 2019, giving voice to the national excellence, has the advantage of making us understand that electric mobility can represent an opportunity for development to be seized for the entire country ”.

As demonstrated by "100 Italian E-Mobility Stories 2019", our companies and our research centers are ready and are facing the challenge of new mobility. The electric car embraces innovation from other sectors, starting from the electricity grid, pushing on the efficiency of the motor, on the durability of the batteries, on the electrical retrofit of traditional cars, on the recovery of materials at 360°.

Several times in history electric car has made its appearance without ever affirming itself. The first road vehicles equipped with batteries already appear in the mid-19th century.

At the end of the 1960s, in the midst of the oil crisis, the electric car seemed the best solution again, but this time it failed to emerge on other technologies.

A necessary update therefore that once again tells of an Italy that thanks to the skills, flexibility and know-how of companies and universities, will not only contribute to renewing and making our production system more competitive, but will compete also to give an answer to the millions of young citizens who went in the squares all over the world last March to ask for more incisive actions in the fight against climate change
