The number of electricity stations in Italy is growing day by day. Europe has finally expressed itself to have unique standards in terms of "connectors for electric cars", in order to favor a wider spread of zero-emission cars. Electric columns for ultra-fast recharging (for which an average of 30 minutes to go from 0 to 80 autonomy), they can count on direct current with two types of connector, while on the front of the public electricity columns, you will opt for powers not lower than 11 kW, this means that to fill up will be necessary from 60 to 120 minutes.

The diesel particulate filter (DPF - Diesel Particulate Filters) serves to limit the emissions of fine particles (especially PM10) from diesel engines. It is currently the best technology available for this purpose and that makes it important. The advantages are indisputable, but there are some flaws that should be considered.

By electric car conversion we mean the "transformation" of a heat engine car into an electric car. The conversion of a conventional car into an electric car, better defined as "electric retrofit", can count on ready-to-use kits. This procedure is quite complex and involves the replacement of all the characteristic components of a car with an internal combustion engine (engine, tank, exhaust pipe, filters…) with the components necessary for electric traction (electric motor, batteries…).

Flex fuel engines: some car manufacturers, including Fiat, produce cars capable of being powered by bioethanol, biodiesel and other biofuel.

Last year we presented the Toyota I-Road as the electric car capable of climbing stairs, presented for the first time to the public at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, today the Toyota I-Road is also a reality in Europe. After the preliminary tests conducted by the Japanese manufacturer in Toyota City and Tokyo, the I-Road electric car is very popular on French roads and could soon arrive in Italy as well, a courageous entrepreneur with an eye to the future would be enough.

After Milan, car2go's car-sharing has also arrived in Rome. The car2go service is a market leader in the "one way" car-sharint field, it is active 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. How does car2go in Rome work? Similarly to what is already happening in Milan and in many other cities in Europe, users can subscribe to the service, download the app on their smartphone, geolocate the nearest Smart and then rent it in a very peculiar way: once rented, the car , must not be returned or re-deposited at the starting point.

Let's take an overview of which car sharing services are active in Milan and what citizens of the Italian capital of work should expect in the immediate future.
