Enel to add over 2 million EV charging ports across North America

The company has recently expanded into the public charging market alongside broadening its operations, maintenance and installation services.

Enel X Way announced plans to add at least two million EV charge ports in North America across home, commercial and public charging segments by 2030. The company has already sold more than 170,000 EV charge ports sold throughout the U.S. and Canada to date.

To achieve the goal, the firm will build upon its success with serving the home and commercial charging segments by expanding into the public charging market in North America. The company has also launched new installation, operations and maintenance (O&M), and financing services to accelerate the deployment and distribution of its chargers.

In addition, Enel X Way’s goal includes over 10,000 DC public charging stations in support of the National Electric Vehicle Incentive (NEVI) program in select areas of the country.

"Building out the charging infrastructure will be critical to enabling the EV transition in the North America, and Enel X Way is stepping up to help lead the charge with our plan to add at least two million EV chargers in North America across public, commercial and home charging segments by 2030," said Chris Baker, Head of Enel X Way North America.

Enel X Way is a subsidiary company of the Enel Group dedicated to electric mobility. It currently operates in 16 countries and manages over 500,000 public and private charging ports worldwide and over 170,000 in North America, both directly and through roaming agreements and joint ventures.

The company also helps entities take advantage of funding from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and $5-billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program as part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
