Enel Rossiya : X Rus and IDGC bring 3 fast charging stations to Urals

The fast charging stations, which all belong to Enel X's JuicePump family, have three charging points each: two with a capacity of 50 kW DC and one of 43 kW AC. The stations are able to fill up two EVs at the same time, and can give them up to 200 km charge in just 30-40 minutes. The fast charging stations are installed in three different districts of Chelyabinsk, near a hotel, a business centre and a shopping mall. They are compatible with all electric vehicles currently on the market and are in full compliance with international standards in the field of electric mobility.

The project follows the April 2019 signing of a Memorandum of Intent (MoI) between Enel X Rus, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Chelyabinsk region and the Skolkovo Foundation. The MoI is aimed at enhancing cooperation to boost electric mobility in the region, including through the implementation of an EV charging infrastructure and the adoption of an electric public transport system.

Enel X Rus is a member of the Skolkovo Foundation's energy-efficient technology cluster. The main task of the cluster is to create an environment to support innovative developments related to the introduction of breakthrough technological solutions in the field of production and efficient use of energy resources for development of new industry trends. The Skolkovo Foundation actively supports Enel X Rus.
