Free To X is pursuing a plan which plans to equip, by the end of 2023, 100 service stations of the Aspi motorway network with recharging points for electric cars (power up to 300 kW). Eventually, the energy supply infrastructure will be found, according to what is known as the current state of the art. promised, about 50-60 km away from each other.
This is a very important project that makes it possible to offer ultrafast charging stations to electric users directly within the motorway sections. Anyone who has been driving a battery-operated car for a long time knows very well that previously it was necessary to exit the motorway, look for a fast-charging point, fill up with energy and then get back on the motorway. An inconvenient process that wasted a lot of time.
Of course, the work to "electrify" the highways & egrave; still a long way to go and a lot still needs to be done to make highway journeys really easy for battery-powered cars. However, Free To X's project is still a challenge. an important step forward. What kind of infrastructure does the company install? in service stations?
Generally, HPC columns with powers up to 300 kW or multistandard columns with CHAdeMO, Type2 and Combo CCS2 fast or CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors are placed. The exact number varies from station to station.
But where are we with the works and, above all, where are the stations along the Aspi motorway network with the charging points? As of this writing, Free To X already has a number of products. installed and activated its energy supply infrastructure in 70 service stations. Where are they?
To find Free To X charging stations in service areas, it is easy to find them. The official app is available or you can use the applications of various suppliers such as Enel X Way and BeCharge. Alternatively, here is the list of those available to date.

The top-up prices vary according to the operator used for the top-up and the rate plan in use (pay per use or subscription) .
WORK GOES ON
Free To X already has the started various construction sites for the installation of further new recharging points to reach the 2023 target. By the summer, in time for the summer exodus, the number of service stations equipped with a recharging point for electric cars should increase significantly.
Obviously, the Free To X project is not enough to fill the gap of the chronic lack of infrastructure for energy supply along the motorway sections. A delay that represents a bottleneck for the development of mobility; electricity in our country.
In this regard, we know that Autostrade per l'Italia already has an electricity supply. started the activities; for the assignment of high-power recharge services with regard to the remaining service areas not included in the Free to X plan, which other operators will have access to, aiming at coverage of the entire concession network.
