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.
