Stellantis Plans to Create 200 Charging Points for Electric Cars in the Country
To welcome the electric cars Fiat 500 and Peugeot 208 e-GT, Stellantis has partnered with Enel X and Estapar to create a charging network consisting of 200 points in Brazil, known as Ecovagas. According to the manager of Programs and Product Planning for South America at Stellantis, Breno Kamei, the partnership is part of several initiatives by Stellantis to prepare a foundation for Fiat and Peugeot electric cars even before they arrive in the country.
The estimate is that the Ecovagas will be implemented later this year, but these 200 points will only be for the first semester, with possibilities for future expansions.
The points will be installed in airports, shopping centers, arenas, commercial buildings, hospitals, and some educational institutions. Initially, they will be installed in 10 states and 23 cities.
