Enel X has expanded its electric vehicle (EV) charging network to more than 30,000 public charging points, by starting eRoaming connectivity with Dutch EV network operator, Allego as well as Bosch and German company, Innogy.
Through the framework of the Hubject e-mobility platform, the collaboration allows Enel X JuicePass app users to fill up their EVs, without signing new contracts, in the charging points operated by Allego, Bosch and Innogy, on a network of more than 19,500 points in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

“Enel X is offering EV drivers a charging experience throughout Europe without having to worry about where to fill up their electric vehicles abroad or sign up for contracts with other providers,” said Enel X CEO, Francesco Venturini.
“We have finalised this project in all safety and looking ahead, we will continue to launch similar eRoaming initiatives to foster economic recovery through our sustainable business model.
“Towards this aim, we will also be leveraging on the vast opportunities offered by the Hubject network, with a view to create a true pan-European electric highway that will drive Europeans through this challenging period towards a truly open society.”
JuicePass customers will now be able to use the app in Germany and Benelux to view information on the location of the charging points, available power, type of connector, real-time availability and roaming prices.
