Polis upgrades and EV network expansion
Entities: Poste Italiane · Progetto Polis · Arre · Nereto · INPS
Overview
Poste Italiane’s POLIS programme continues modernising small‑town post offices while Italy’s EV‑charging network nears its 5,000‑station target. By early July 2026 the charger fleet held over 3,200 points, with roughly 1,500 in operation, and Mantova province added 25 active units.
Renovations under POLIS have progressed through late July. Offices in Ovada, Roccaraso and Alassio reopened with ergonomic workstations, low‑energy lighting, tactile pathways for the visually impaired and lowered service counters, enabling on‑site passport issuance, civil‑status certificates and a full suite of INPS services. In Reggio Calabria the company deployed eight next‑generation Postamat ATMs featuring high‑brightness displays, anti‑skimming protection and QR‑code bill‑payment capability, operating 24 hours a day.
The temporary closure of the Montesarchio branch prompted the mayor to request a mobile service unit for residents; reopened offices will soon host "Spazi per l’Italia" coworking hubs to broaden community use.
On 25 July the Rio Saliceto office reopened after a POLIS‑driven overhaul, offering the full range of public‑administration services, passport applications with home delivery, a 24‑hour ATM and a photovoltaic system rated at more than 14 kW‑peak.
Further upgrades were completed in Abruzzo: the Nereto office reopened on 27 July with new furniture, low‑consumption lighting and environmentally‑friendly improvements, restoring a key service point for the Val Vibrata area; the Arre office reopened on 28 July, adding INPS pension statements, anagrafica certificates, on‑site passport applications and a dedicated lane for visually‑impaired users.
These steps extend the earlier upgrades in Montalto di Castro, San Polo Matese, Parenti, Magnago, Sessa Cilento and other communes, reinforcing POLIS’s aim to combine digitised public services, greener infrastructure and enhanced local accessibility.
