Initially, three public charging points will be implemented in BH, one at the Central Market, another at the Super Nosso supermarket (Lourdes unit), and the third at the AvantGarde dealership (Santa Lúcia neighborhood). Initially, there will be no charge for charging electric vehicles, and the charging stations will be available for everyone.
The player 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 world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
The tool will significantly contribute to the development of charging infrastructure, allowing for usage predictability and the evolution of the electric vehicle market. Interested parties can download the “SIM Charger” app from the Android and Apple stores.
According to Danilo Gusmão, CEO of Cemig SIM, the intention is for the project to be gradually expanded. “The concept was developed based on an open innovation program conducted in partnership with FIEMG Lab, UseCarGo, and Voltbras. Our goal is to provide, in addition to energy, a robust infrastructure so that electric vehicle users have the freedom to plan their travels. There are also other products and services designed to meet the individual needs of new users of electric mobility technology and to expand its use,” he states.
In addition to the charging stations, SIM is also conducting a pilot project for electric vehicle rental sharing. The goal is to offer options for the expansion of sustainable energy consumption, from a clean and much more economical source, throughout the state, while also focusing on the Brazilian territory.
