Charging on the highway & egrave; essential to simplify the travel of electric cars. In Italy, as we know, from this point of view there is; a strong delay. Currently there & # 39; & egrave; Free to X which is working on the construction of an infrastructure at some service areas. A very important job but not enough to quickly bridge the accumulated delay.
But finally, on the subject of charging on the motorway, there is some good news. In fact, with a resolution of 4 August 2022, the Authority regulation of transport (ART) approved the measures for the & quot; definition of the tender schemes relating to the tenders to which motorway concessionaires are required for sub-concession assignments of electric vehicle recharging services & quot;.
In summary, after a long wait, the rules for the tenders were defined. Now we need to start the races and then get to the actual installation of the infrastructures. The Authority highlights that what was decided in this new resolution is part of the pi & ugrave; broad procedure for defining the tender schemes relating to the tenders to which motorway concessionaires are required for the assignment of the services provided on the motorway network, including those for the distribution of fuel lubricants and those relating to activities; commercial and catering, whose term of conclusion & egrave; set for October 28, 2022.
The Authority & agrave; of transport regulation underlines that the approval of the measures in question marks a decisive step forward in the provision of electric charging infrastructures on the Italian motorway network, in line with the ecological transition objectives set out in the Next generation EU European plan.

The decision of the Authority defines a regulatory framework that & egrave; also consistent with the annual law for the market and competition 2021, definitively approved by the Parliament on 2 August. The tender schemes of motorway concessionaires must guarantee the pursuit of the public interest related to the enhancement of the motorway infrastructure, encourage competition, respect the principles of transparency, fairness, non-discrimination, reasonableness and proportionality, contain costs for users, businesses and consumers. Furthermore, the ART measures require the adoption by licensees of various quality indicators, including accessibility; and assistance for mobility passengers; reduced (PMR) and in general the level of user satisfaction with the functioning of the charging points.
NOW THE RACES ARE NEEDED 
This news it should finally speed up the creation of a charging infrastructure on the motorway. Browsing through the resolution, you can & ograve; read that in the service areas there must be at least two CPOs (charging point operators) . However, during the first implementation, the motorway concessionaire will have to; guarantee the presence of a CPO for each area concerned, making further assignments within five years. There are exceptions in case there are difficulties; of a technical nature in being able to have two CPOs within the same service area.
Furthermore, the recharging points must be of at least 100 kW . In any case, the power must be adequate for the & quot; foreseeable development of the capacity & agrave; charging of vehicles in the & rsquo; time horizon of the & rsquo; assignment & quot; (5-12 years). The columns must then always be accessible, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. The prices for recharging must be well indicated and you can & agrave; pay also through & quot; instruments that allow immediate payment, without prior registration and without having to stipulate contracts & quot ;. In practice, you can & agrave; pay the top-up even using only your debit or credit card.
