BEV?s are taking over Europe? albeit at a snail pace

Stuttgart/Rome ? Daimler will be launching its next electric mobility project in cooperation with Enel, Italy?s largest energy supplier. In 2010, the ?e-mobility Italy? initiative will see more than 100 Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV?s) roll onto the streets of Rome, Milan and Pisa. Enel will be responsible for setting up over 400 charging stations in the three cities. The project aims to further develop electrification of the automobile and create an intelligent electrical charging infrastructure. Following ?e-mobility Berlin?, this is the next large-scale Daimler initiative for electric mobility with future projects scheduled for both Europe and the US to be named later.
