Tips for Charging with Enel X Way in Italy

• Enel X Way uses CCS2 connectors for DC fast charging. All modern European EVs are compatible.
• Enel X Way supports both app and contactless card payment, making it accessible even without pre-registration.
• Coverage is best in northern Italy and along major routes. If you are heading south of Naples, plan stops carefully and do not rely on a single network.

• Summer heat in southern Italy can reduce charging speed. If possible, charge during cooler morning hours.

Common Issues

• Some older Enel X Way stations may have lower power output than the advertised 300 kW maximum.
