As part of the multi-year agreement, Enel X will supply its state-of-the-art technology and services to charge the all-electric Extreme E racers as they compete in some of the world’s most remote and extreme environments.

A Charge to Save the Planet

Founded byAlejandro Agag, Extreme E is a groundbreaking new off-road motorsport series that uses high-performance electric SUV vehicles to raise awareness of the devastating impact of climate change and human activity on some of the world’s most fragile ecosystems. The competition will see drivers compete in locations such as the Arctic, the Himalayas, the Amazon rainforest, the Sahara desert and glaciers in Antarctica.

As the Official Smart Charging Partner, Enel X will provide its JuicePump 50kW DC fast-charging solutionto charge the SUVs between races. The technology has been specifically designed for operation in extreme conditions and can operate in temperatures as low as -30°C.

“We are delighted to be working with Enel X as our Official Smart Charging Partner. Its advanced technological solutions and commitment to sustainability make it the perfect partner for Extreme E.” said Agag.

A Sustainable Solution

As well as providing a high-tech and sustainable solution for the world’s first zero-emissions motorsport series, the partnership will see Enel X and Extreme E work together on a number of areas focused on the promotion of sustainable development.

This will include the installation of solar microgrids combined with energy storage at the race venues to offset the environmental impact of the event and provide a long-term sustainable energy solution for the local communities.

“Enel X is extremely proud to be working with Extreme E to help promote sustainable development and raise awareness of the climate crisis. Our technology and services will help to make the competition as sustainable as possible, both in terms of the event itself and the long-term legacy.” said Francesco Venturini, Head of Enel X.

The first season of Extreme E is set to take place in early 2021.
