Energy Giant Eni's Car-Sharing Fleet Goes Electric, Adds XEV YOYO to Fleet

Eni's car-sharing service, Enjoy, is going electric and adding to its fleet the XEV YOYO city car, an electric vehicle that features battery swapping as an alternative to plug-in recharging points. XEV YOYO is a fully electric car with a top speed of 80 km/h and a range of up to 150 km.

Milan is the first Italian city to offer the XEV YOYO to rent.

The vehicles will join Eni’s existing fleet of 900 vehicles, reaching 200 by the end of December, 2022.

XEV is an Italiian car manufacturer founded in Turin in 2018.

Enjoy offers the convenience of 'free floating' car sharing, allowing rentals to begin and end anywhere within its coverage area, without a predefined pick-up or drop-off point.

Enjoy takes care of recharging, which allows customers to move around freely as XEV YOYO vehicles always come with a battery charge of more than 30%.

Enjoy has over one million customers in Italy who have completed more than 29 million rentals since 2013, across a fleet of 2,500 vehicles.

The service is available in the cities of Milan, Turin, Bologna, Florence and Rome.

Electric car sharing with XEV YOYO city cars in Rome will be introduced in the coming months.

Giuseppe Ricci, Chief Operating Officer for Energy Evolution at En, says: “Eni is pleased that the City of Milan, which welcomed the national debut of Enjoy car sharing exactly nine years ago, has received the news of the electric transformation of the fleet with equal enthusiasm."

He adds: "Car sharing is helping to make urban mobility more sustainable and improve ease of travel for citizens. In Turin, Bologna and Florence, cities where these vehicles have already been introduced, zero-emission city cars on the road have demonstrated their potential for micro-mobility, enabling Enjoy customers to rent more frequently for shorter distances. Support for electric mobility solutions and car sharing moreover contribute to Eni's holistic approach on its path to Net Zero by 2050, complimenting other solutions for decarbonizing transportation, such as the development of biofuels, the hydrogen distribution network and biomethane.”

"We remain close to those who help us to spread and support sustainable mobility within our city” comments Arianna Censi, Councillor for Mobility of the Municipality of Milan. “With these new cars, Eni deploys a new electric fleet that will increase the possibility for the people living in Milan, and for all those visiting our city, to move freely, without harmful emissions that affect the quality of the air we breathe every day."

Since it began operating in Milan in 2013, Enjoy has rented out cars more than 15 million times in the city.
