Read MoreHide Full Article

Eni SPA (E - Free Report) entered an agreement with XEV to implement a battery replacement service for the latter’s YOYO electric vehicle.

In May 2021, the Italy-based electric car company XEV launched YOYO, the first fully electric city car, which can be driven from the age of 16 with a B1 license. The vehicle has been designed for battery swapping due to the shortage of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in most urban areas.

The innovative battery-swapping service, Battery Xchange, will replace discharged batteries with charged batteries within few minutes. The battery swapping will reduce long waiting times for YOYO users to recharge their car batteries, giving new energy and maximum freedom of movement.

The sustainable and efficient urban mobility solution will be available in a selected number of Eni service stations. From 2022, the YOYO zero-emission city car will be part of Eni's car-sharing service, Enjoy fleet, contributing significantly to the development of sustainable mobility. It will be the first to offer the vehicles to its Enjoy car-sharing users, with the intent of expanding its sustainable service and product portfolio.

With the partnership, Eni will become the first in Europe to provide the battery replacement service at its service stations. The partnership with XEV bolsters Eni’s commitment to providing clean energy as well as tangible, efficient and sustainable solutions to consumers. The innovative business model will help overcome the challenges and limitations of charging electric cars.
