At first, three public charging points will be implemented in BH, one in the Central Market, another in the Super Nosso supermarket (Lourdes unit), and the third in the AvantGarde concessionaire (Bairro Santa Lúcia). Initially, there will be no charge for charging electric vehicles and the charging stations can be used by everyone.
The company operating in the distributed generation market, Cemig SIM, aims to offer innovative and intelligent solutions, based on technology, to make energy resources more efficient, respecting the environment and society.
The tool will make a strong contribution to the development of charging socket infrastructure, allowing predictability of use and evolution of the electric vehicle market. Those interested in using the service can download the “SIM Charger” application from the Android and Apple stores.
According to Danilo Gusmão, CEO of Cemig SIM, the intention is for the project to be expanded gradually. “The concept was developed from an open innovation program carried out in partnership with FIEMG Lab, UseCarGo and Voltbras. Our goal is to provide, in addition to energy, a robust infrastructure so that users of electric vehicles are free to plan their journey. There are also other products and services designed to meet the individual needs of new users of electric mobility technology and the expansion of its use”, he says.
In addition to the charging stations, SIM is also carrying out a pilot project for sharing electric rental vehicles. The objective is to offer options for the expansion of sustainable energy consumption, with a clean matrix and much more economical, throughout the state, but with a focus, also, on the Brazilian territory.
