In addition to these, the Nissan Leaf will also be part of the Itaú electric car fleet. The first charging stations will be installed at administrative units that Itaú has in São Paulo, in partnership with Enel X. The expectation is that in the second semester, the sharing service will expand and include new stations and new electric cars.

Words from the Itaú Unibanco Director

According to the Itaú Unibanco director, the world is constantly transforming, and the way people move around in cities is also changing. He states that the bank will add value through an innovative, safe, technological, and sustainable experience, also stimulating the electric car market in Brazil.

To use the vehicles, an initial fee and a cost per minute will be charged, but the prices have not yet been defined. The vehicles will also have internet connectivity to further facilitate the users’ journeys.

Enel X Promises Faster and More Efficient Charging Stations

The bank did not disclose where Enel X intends to operate the service; however, the Enel Group company offers a range of solutions with products, accessories, and systems for recharging electric cars. Among the solutions is the Enel X JuiceBox, a charger for sustainable vehicles that the company provides in various power ratings and compatibility with all types of vehicles.

The charger can be installed in residential, commercial, and business areas. It is a compact, high-power station with advanced control, fully portable and robust, with Wi-Fi connectivity. The product from the Enel Group company offers smart and fast charging, allowing real-time monitoring from anywhere.
