The charging station will also have four points for charging motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles. This equipment is the first of its kind in Alagoas; however, the company has already implemented similar projects in Piauí and Maranhão.

The initiative aims to contribute to electric mobility and promote the use of sustainable transportation. According to Equatorial Energia, the project in Maceió is funded by Aneel’s Research and Development Program. Charging will be done for free through the dedicated charging station for T2 electric cars, which, according to Equatorial, is the best-selling electric car model in the country.
