Affi is the heart of the tourist power lines in northern Italy and beyond, acting as a major crossroads to the lakes and a convenient recharging stop for the huge southward flow from central and northern Europe. This is evidenced by the data collected during the Easter weekend of 2023, when IONITY Affi ranked twenty-fifth in terms of the number of charging sessions among approximately 500 IONITY stations across Europe. An extremely significant figure that places it just below the busiest stations in the Scandinavian countries and the UK.
