see... I am one of the person who asked to FIAT to produce again the old 500 that was out of production... simply because we loved the old one and could not do without it :-))))
FCA's Easy Electric Charging Makes Its Debut With Easy Wallbox™ by ENGIE Eps
PIANA DI VIGEZZO, Piedmont, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
“FCA has therefore begun – Di Stefano continued – to compose a true “ecosystem”Tweet this
Charging your electric or plug-in hybrid car at home is no longer a problem. With the Easy Wallbox™, created by ENGIE Eps (Paris:EPS) exclusively for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, you can immediately recharge the new car as you drive out of a dealership, with no changes to your electrical system. The new ENGIE Eps charging device is plug-and-play – just like any household appliance – and is immediately functional: an essential requirement for the spreading of vehicle electrification at home.
To showcase the new device and its no-fuss installation and use, FCA and ENGIE Eps have taken a Jeep Renegade 4xe and an Easy Wallbox™ to a location where one would not expect to see an electric car and its charging system: the beautiful alpine scenery of the Piana di Vigezzo (in the Vigezzo Valley, Northern Italy) at an altitude of almost 1.800 meters. This is the arrival station of Europe's longest continuous cable car, which will soon be powered by ‘green energy’, thanks to ENGIE Eps.
After an effortless climb and descent of a steep snow-clad slope in electric mode, the Jeep Renegade 4xe was connected to an Easy Wallbox™, installed for the event next to the ski lift station, with a breathtaking panorama of the Alps.
Carlalberto Guglielminotti, CEO of ENGIE Eps, said during a press conference to present the device: “We want to demonstrate that no obstacle is too much for the Jeep and that it can be fully recharged using the Easy Wallbox™ technology, even at high altitude, in a mountain refuge and at sub-zero temperatures”.
Easy Wallbox™ can operate plug-and-play via a standard Schuko socket up to 2.2 kW. Moreover, with a dedicated power line the Easy Wallbox™ can operate at up to 7.4 kW: to recharge your car faster without the need to purchase another device.
The Easy Wallbox™ is installed with two wall plugs, easily connects to the electricity grid and means you can recharge the car's batteries without exceeding your power contract or regulatory limits. In addition, with an electrician only needing to perform a non-invasive intervention, the device uses only the power available in your home in real-time, avoiding any risk of blackouts...
