ENEL X NAMED TITLE SPONSOR OF ISLAND X PRIX

14 October 2021, London: Extreme E is delighted to announce its upcoming event will be known as the Enel X Island X Prix, following title support from its Official Smart Charging Partner.

Italian-basedEnel X joined forces with Extreme Eearlier this year, using the series to develop and test new innovations by providing charging technology as well as the JuicePump 40 Race Edition. The company is the innovative business line of Enel and has strong roots in the energy industry working across sustainability, digitalisation and innovation.

Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: "I'm delighted Enel X has extended our partnership to become headline sponsor of this event. The brand is already supporting the series through its charging technology, which is invaluable as we showcase new innovations in electric motorsport.

"It made perfect sense to select our first European event in its home country to bolster its support for the series. As a brand, Enel X is at the forefront of charging technology, which is essential for the planet if we are to reduce carbon emissions, 30 per cent of which is attributed to travel."

Francesco Venturini, CEO of Enel X, said: "As title sponsor of the Island X Prix , we at Enel X are pleased to support Sardinia with legacy projects as evidence of our commitment to making concrete contributions to the region, which Enel X is paying particular attention to through its projects aimed at encouraging the electrification of energy use.

"We will continue to bring our technological expertise to help explore the full potential of electric mobility, a key element in our mission to fight climate change and accelerate the energy transition."

The Enel X Island X Prix will take place in the Army Training area at Capo Teulada in Sulcis- Iglesiente, an historic area situated in the south-west of Sardinia. It will feature two epic days of racing from some of the biggest names in the sport including Sebastien Loeb, Carlos Sainz Snr., the Hansen brothers of Rallycross fame, Catie Munnings, Molly Taylor, Laia Sanz plus motorsport heavyweights behind the scenes in the form of team owners Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button.

The championship's Legacy Programmes will focus on green and coastal blue carbon, which is the carbon captured and stored by terrestrial ecosystems and vegetated coastal ecosystems respectively, working with MEDSEA, including the recovery response to this year's devastating forest fires in Sardinia, as well as restoration and conservation of Posidonica oceanica (seagrass). In addition, leading scientists - both local and global - will provide a series of seminars highlighting climate change issues and solutions, one of which is decarbonisation, which Enel X is at the heart of with its chargers for electric vehicles of today and the future.

The Enel Group is also contributing to the championship with the Group's non-profit organisation Enel Foundation, which has been one of Extreme E's Founding Scientific Partners since July 2020.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Extreme E:

Extreme E is a radical new racing series, which will see electric SUVs competing in extreme environments around the world which have already been damaged or affected by climate and environmental issues. The five-race global voyage highlights the impact of climate change and human interference in some of the world's most remote locations and promotes the adoption of electric vehicles in the quest for a lower carbon future for the planet.

To minimise local impact, Extreme E races will not be open to spectators, with fans instead invited to follow the action through live TV broadcast, and on social media.

The St. Helena, a former passenger cargo ship, has undergone a multi-million Euro refit to minimise emissions and transform her into Extreme E's operations hub. The ship will be used to transport the championship's freight and infrastructure, including vehicles, to the nearest port, minimising Extreme E's footprint, as well as being used to facilitate scientific research

through its on-board laboratory.

Extreme E is also pioneering hydrogen fuel cell technology which will enable its race fleet to be charged using zero emission energy. This innovative solution from AFC Energy uses water and sun to generate hydrogen power. Not only will this process emit no greenhouse emissions, its only by-product will be water, which will be utilised elsewhere on-site.
