Stellantis intends to create 200 charging points for electric cars in the country

Creating a welcome for the Fiat 500 and Peugeot 208 e-GT electric cars, Stellantis partnered with Enel X and Estapar to create a recharge network made up of 200 points in Brazil, which is known as Ecovagas. According to the person responsible for Programs and Product Planning for South America at Stellantis, Breno Kamei, the partnership is part of several initiatives by Stellantis to prepare a base for electric cars from Fiat and Peugeot even before they arrive in the country.

It is estimated that the Ecovagas will be implemented later this year, but these 200 points will only be for this first semester, with the possibility of being expanded in the future.

The points will be installed in airports, shopping malls, arenas, commercial buildings, hospitals and some teaching institutions. Initially, they will be installed in 10 states and 23 cities.

Stellantis may bring Citroën electric vehicles to the Brazilian market

In addition to Fiat and Peugeot, the company, which also owns Citroën, could bring the ë-C4, a 100% electric version based on the latest generation of the C4 model. Another one that could also arrive in Brazilian territory is the C5 Aircross, a plug-in hybrid.

The ë-C4 has a 50 kWh battery and a 136 horsepower engine, and other elements that are also present in other sustainable cars from the PSA Group. It has a range of approximately 350 km on a single charge.
