AI-generated summary
Enel has extended the discount on bills for families and is now extending support for the high cost of fuel with petrol/diesel vouchers and discounts on electric charging, in response to the blocking of diesel trucks and government requests.
A 40 euro petrol or diesel voucher and discounts on electric charging. After extending the discount on bills for families, Enel announces aid against high fuel costs. And for the first time it launches an initiative that goes beyond the offer of electricity and gas and extends to fossil fuels, through an agreement with the Q8 distributor network. The new offer aims to make the costs of private mobility as a whole more sustainable, looking both at owners of electric cars and at those who still travel with an internal combustion vehicle. A clear signal, while trucks block the roads due to expensive diesel fuel. It is a response to the government's requests to implement initiatives to support families. On the electric car front, until November 11th the group will reduce the cost of public electric charging by up to 20% and will offer the Waybox (domestic charging station at home) at the promotional price of 199 euros with a reduction from the initial value of 50% (offer that can be obtained until stocks run out).

In addition to the initiatives dedicated to e-mobility, there is an offer that is also aimed at those who have a combustion engine car and choose Enel for their energy supply at home. Until November 4th (for two weeks, therefore), all new electricity and gas customers who join the dedicated offers will be able to receive a 40 euro voucher (corresponding to 57 KWh calculated on the average cost of public charging) to be used for public charging of electric vehicles via the Enel On Your Way App or, alternatively, for refueling with petrol or diesel at Q8 stations only.
These initiatives are in addition to the decision, announced on Thursday, to also offer its contribution in terms of electricity bills. And that is to renew the fixed price offer "Enel Digital Luce" for now until the end of the month. An offer lasting three years which provides for a price of the energy component of 108 euros/MWh, equal to approximately 50 percent of the current market value of wholesale electricity (single national price), currently higher than 230 euros/MWh. According to the company, this is the "lowest price for the energy component on the national market among primary operators".
From mobility to bills, with these offers launched while the cost of energy is looming over families and businesses, the group led by Flavio Cattaneo strengthens its objective: to make the electrification of consumption a simpler and more convenient choice. It is no coincidence that in a note the company recalls that «in the mobility sector, the electric car allows you to halve refueling costs: it can be calculated that to travel 100 km you spend around 7.8 euros on electric (which drops to 6.3 euros by recharging at home), compared to €15.5 for petrol and 12.9 euros for diesel. Considering a journey of 500 km, the savings can reach 38 euros per trip. On an annual mileage of 10,000 km, a family can thus save between 750 and 800 euros per year, a figure which rises to 920 euros if it is recharged exclusively at home. Furthermore, the convenience also concerns the purchase prices of electric models which are now close to traditional ones (-4% for large cars) and maintenance costs are approximately 10% lower over 8 years".
