A charging station in Autobrennero (photo from the A22 website).
Autobrennero cuts top-up prices. And what prices… It does so in the midst of a great bridge, setting an example for the large national networks, which are still at a standstill.
Autobrennero cuts prices: 0.43 in ultra-rapid ones, 0.38 up to 50 kW, 0.33 in the CAs
Throughout Europe, charging prices are falling, as several readers have reported it to us. Only in Italy prices remain inexplicably high, but someone is starting to set a good example. We are talking about the A22 Brennero motorway, which gives Modena North brings up to border with Austria. The cost per kWh was already competitive further lowered by the management company of the A22, largely public capital. Now you pay 0.43 euros/kW in the fastest and most powerful columns, up to 180 kW. 0.38 euros in Fast up to 50 kW And 0.33 in ACs up to 22 kW. A nice gift also for the many tourists who will travel to and from this long bridge and in the coming weeks Austria and Germany. Here on the right you will find the details of the service stations where the refills are found, with the relative prices. A great example of transparency and customer focus. Furthermore, the Modena-Brennero stretch is equipped with an excellent charging network even off the motorway, close to the various exits, even with different Tesla Supercharger.
The situation on the other major highways? In the case of Free to X…
And in the rest of the motorway network? The situation is two-sided. The most important manager, Motorways for Italy (ASPI) did a great job through Free to to equip the network with high-power recharges, up to 300 kW. However, choosing the path of not imposing prices directly, but letting everyone pay according to their own needs of the app or card you normally use. At the moment, if compared with the rest of Europe, these are particularly high rates. Enel arrives at 0.99 euros per kW for HPC columns, while Be Charge Plenitude (ENI Group) is a 0.95. Furthermore, the forms of subscription and discounts which allowed those who travel many kilometers to pay more humane amounts. We hope that the good example coming from the North-East with the Brenner motorway will convince others to at least give it a first try.
