GS ideally closes the circle of installations throughout the country, from the highest Bike Sharing in Europe at the mountain huts in South Tyrol to the charging station in the southernmost point of the country
GS ideally closes the circle of installations throughout the country, from the highest Bike Sharing in Europe at the mountain huts in South Tyrol to the charging station in the southernmost point of the country
We report the press release issued by the body responsible for the Enea project on the occasion of the installation of a recharging system supplied by GS at Lampedusa.
The southernmost electric vehicle charging station in the country was put into operation; located in the car park in front of the ENEA Climatic Observatory in Lampedusa near the Capo Grecale Lighthouse, it is powered by photovoltaic energy, with practically no emissions.
The column was born from the collaboration, started in 2014, between ENEA and the Municipality of Lampedusa and Linosa for the realization of an applied research project funded by the MiSE as part of the 2007-2013 Interregional Energy Operational Program; the project involves the field testing of a photovoltaic system with storage to characterize and quantify the benefits on the electricity system and in the specific case in that of an island such as Lampedusa.
“This Administration – declares Giusi Nicolini, Mayor of Lampedusa and Linosa – has always shown sensitivity towards initiatives, such as this one of ENEA, which lead to concrete results; installing and starting the first charging column means marking a trajectory that will lead us to a mobility system that is increasingly respectful of the environment, and the increase of charging infrastructures and electric vehicles in the islands of Lampedusa and Linosa will be a priority objective in the next joint projects with ENEA, with the involvement of the Marine Area Protected “.
As reported by the Italian Commission for Electric Road Vehicles (CEI-CIVES) in the Position Paper on Supporting Sustainable Road Mobility, the lack of charging stations is one of the main factors hindering the introduction of electric vehicles; the other two factors – the cost and autonomy of the electric vehicle – are practically non-existent in the small Italian islands where the road system is limited and the autonomy of low-power electric vehicles (bicycles, scooters, light quadricycles) is more than sufficient to satisfy the need for mobility, as well as being cost-competitive compared to internal combustion ones.

The 2015 Update of the National Infrastructure Plan for the recharging of vehicles powered by electricity by the Ministry of Transport Infrastructures is undoubtedly a stimulus for public administrations, local authorities, companies in the sector, hotels and commercial structures and private citizens to take action so that everyone, for their own role, is involved in the process of equipping themselves with an eco-sustainable mobility infrastructure system.
The electric column installed in Lampedusa allows the simultaneous charging of two vehicles, after identifying the user with an electronic card, through two 3A type sockets; it supplies, at a voltage of 220Vac, a maximum current of 16 A; the refueling process, in this first phase, is free of charge for citizens and tourists, the identification cards will be delivered to the owners and managers of these vehicles in agreement with the local administration.
Research and technological development projects – underlines Francesco Monteleone, ENEA researcher – must be increasingly aimed at the sustainable development of the territory with specific objectives that must be translated into concrete actions in order to contribute to the economic and social development of the country; issues such as energy efficiency of networks, optimization of energy demand by end users (public and private buildings, lighting, summer air conditioning, lifting pumps, etc.), eco-sustainable mobility, waste management together to those of water must constitute a priority of execution that goes beyond the simple analysis and modeling of problems. ENEA, through its Departments, holds the potential for intervention of excellence on energy technologies, energy efficiency and sustainability.
The collaboration agreement, signed a few months ago, between ENEA and the “Pelagie Islands” Marine Protected Area is a further opportunity to design and implement infrastructural interventions on energy efficiency and eco-sustainable mobility on the islands of Lampedusa and Linosa.
