Portugal Inaugurated Its First Charging Hub for Electric Cars This Wednesday (22). The Venture Received an Investment of 2 Million Euros from the Environmental Fund

Since Wednesday (22), the city of Leiria, in Portugal, has its first hub – a station with several chargers for electric cars. In addition to this, other hubs will also be implemented in eight more major urban centers in the country. The inauguration of the electric car charging hub in Portugal took place around 2 PM, on Rua de Santo André – the first of a total of nine hubs. The venture results from an investment of approximately two million euros, composed of the Economic and Social Stabilization Program (PEES), launched by the Government of Portugal using funding from the Environmental Fund.

According to MOBI.E, a public sector company that has acted as the Managing Entity of the Electric Mobility Network (EGME) for 6 years, in addition to Leiria, the following cities will also have electric car charging hubs: Coimbra, Guimarães, Almada, Loulé, Matosinhos, Loures, Vila Nova de Gaia, and Viseu.

The Mobi.E Network Has Over 2,000 Charging Stations for Electric Cars

In a statement to the press, the Secretary of State for Mobility, Eduardo Pinheiro, states that electric mobility is essential for reducing emissions of gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect, largely responsible for the climate changes already impacting society.

According to Eduardo, the government of Portugal will continue to support measures like this, which promote the use of electric cars and phase out polluting vehicles, as well as other solutions aimed at active mobility and public transport. The secretary emphasized that he will continue working to ensure the growth of the public charging network in the territory, responding to the increasing number of electric cars in circulation in the country in the coming years.

The Mobi.E network currently has over 2,300 charging stations and 4,800 sockets, and for the most part, these stations are located in publicly accessible spaces.

Electric Mobility Advances in Brazil

Nissan and Movida inaugurated an electric car charging station on Marginal Tietê this month. The space has 11 chargers, with a waiting room for drivers to wait for their vehicle to charge.

The chargers feature 7.5 kW, allowing for a full charge in 5 hours, and one fast charger of 50 kW, enabling a vehicle to charge in just 40 minutes.
