Enel X & Uber to Support EV Driving in US with JuiceEco
Leading provider of innovative energy and electric mobility solutions Enel X introduced JuiceEco, a new option for electric vehicle drivers to power their rides with 100% renewable energy in the US Available exclusively through Enel X, JuiceEco provides Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates to match the consumption of any EV anywhere in the US with carbon-free electricity. Enel X and Uber have teamed up to provide special savings for the complete JuiceBox smart charging package for drivers who use the Uber platform in the U.S. As part of the partnership, drivers will also be the first to receive a 15,000 mile JuiceEco package for free via a dedicated Enel X e-store in an effort to make ridesharing more sustainable. Enel X has also qualified its flagship home charging station, the JuiceBox, in dozens of utility programs across the U.S. and drivers can easily check to see if they qualify for an additional utility rebate with a zip code tool to essentially acquire a charger for low or no cost.
JuiceEco prices start at $30, representing 3,400. kilowatt-hours of clean energy production, equivalent to the electricity needed for 10,000 miles of EV travel; $45, representing 5,100 kilowatt-hours of clean energy production, equivalent to the amount of electricity needed for 15,000 miles of EV travel; and $60, representing 6,800 kilowatt watt-hours of clean energy production, equivalent to the electricity needed for 20,000 miles of EV travel. Assuming an average lifespan of 200,000 miles, consumers can ensure that 100% of their entire lifetime mileage is powered by clean, renewable energy for only USD 600.
The news comes as more drivers are considering EVs over traditional gasoline-fueled cars, and a majority of Americans support greater development of clean energy such as wind and solar power, Enel X has created JuiceEco to offer more EV drivers a way to power their vehicles with renewable energy, whether or not they can install solar panels at home. Around one-third of Enel X residential electric mobility customers in the US have an onsite solar system and over 60% of recent JuiceBox customers surveyed have expressed demand for RECs. Now, Enel X customers can select how many miles they’d prefer to drive on 100% renewable energy, as they reduce emissions and match their electricity with clean energy.
