The Italian capital Rome is taking action to expand and enhance its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Last year, Rome launched its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), which aimed to promote accessibility for all and increase quality of life, as well as supporting public health and environmental sustainability. Encouraging and facilitating the uptake of EVs for private vehicles and freight was a central tenet of the city''s SUMP, for which improved charging facilities are required.
In order to achieve this, the Italian capital has partnered with Siemens Smart Infrastructure to deliver charging infrastructure and cloud-based software for charger management to the Italian start-up ''On''. Through this partnership a new EV sharing service will be developed by On. Work is already underway, with the first 23 charging stations already installed and more to follow.
The stations support a range of other electric modes of transport, with power outlets also available for e-bikes, electric scooters and other new small e-vehicles. The new charging infrastructure will deliver the technological connectivity required to create smart, integrated mobility options. The charging stations are connected to an E-Car Operating Centre (E-Car OC), Siemens'' cloud-based charging infrastructure software. This also provides effective channels for data management with data utilised to streamline billing and other related processes.
The data collected is also useful for users. They are made available on On''s app to enable users to identify the location of Siemens'' charging points, their availability and operational status in real-time. Drivers can initiate the charging process and access related payment services on the smartphone app, as well as on web-based software.
As cities across Europe seek to enhance their EV charging facilities, this partnership may provide useful examples for others.

PlugShare uses a color-coded system to convey charging station information:
No pins on the map? Unfortunately, Plugshare users haven’t reported any charging stations.
To check the pricing details for any location on the map, simply click on the pin icon. You''ll find a cost field that displays pricing information shared by others who have used the charger. In some cases, pricing details are also included in the charger''s description. Please note that for certain locations, pricing information may not be available.
To pinpoint Tesla-compatible charging stations, click on a specific station pin on the map. Examine the station details for information on available connectors; Tesla-compatible stations will specify Tesla-specific connectors. Don''t forget to check user reviews and comments for additional insights.
A station''s score reflects the experience of users on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest score. When a user reports a negative experience at a charging station, its score drops. When a user reports a positive experience, the station''s score rises. A neutral comment or check-in does not affect the overall score. It is also worthwhile reading the comments on each location to get more insights into the reason behind each score. You can view PlugScores from the Station Summary icon on the map.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has sealed another deal and will install electric vehicle charging in Rome. The new EV sharing service On ordered 120 AC charging stations to power their cars in the Italian capital. Siemens already installed the first 23 across the city centre with the remaining to follow within this year.
For On, the partnership with Siemens Smart Infrastructure means the company can make “a meaningful contribution to Rome''s future plans,” said Alessandro Di Meo, Managing Director. The sharing service includes e-bikes and e-scooters, and electric cars, although make and numbers are unknown. On the website, On speaks of various vehicles and manufacturers.
Siemens provides the charging infrastructure, consisting of 120 Sicharge AC22 charging stations. Two electric vehicles can charge simultaneously at each column with a capacity of 22 kW. Two 230 Volt AC power sockets also offer recharge for e-bikes and electric scooters from On.
Part of the contract is a cloud-based platform for charging management. Siemens class it the E-Car Operating Center (E-Car OC), which allows billing through the export of processed data to adjacent systems for use in further processes. In the case of ON, the provider uses the data to map all Siemens charge points and their availability and operational status in real-time. The On drivers can start the charging process and payment services on the smartphone app.
“Switching to electric vehicles is only one part of the transformation to future urban mobility,” said Jean-Christoph Heyne, head of Future Grids at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “It is also about providing flexibility and availability, for example, by sharing e-cars or other alternative means of transportation, such as e-bikes. A connected charging infrastructure, comprising hardware and software, creates the basis for such services.”
Rome is implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. For example, installing shared mobility services for car and bike-sharing is a key feature of the plan. Apart from On, Romans may also rent e-scooters through the Spanish company Acciona as reported.
