The first electric mobility corridor in the Northeast was launched, through Neoenergia, with a fast charging station for electric and hybrid vehicles, which aims to be the largest in Brazil, when completed, at the end of the first half of 2021.
Neoenergia's “green corridor”, for charging electric vehicles, as it is called, will connect the capitals of the northeast region of Salvador, Natal, also passing through Aracaju, Maceió, Recife and João Pessoa.

First phase of the green corridor for charging electric vehicles has already started in Bahia
The first phase has already started in Salvador, Bahia, with the performance evaluation of electric cars on urban routes and proposals for opening the charging stations to the public. Experimentally, there are six electric and hybrid vehicles traveling through various parts of the capital of Bahia, for the evaluation of their autonomy, performance and definition of adjustments and improvements.
The other charging stations for electric vehicles in the Northeast will be delivered gradually, by the end of the first half of 2021. Once completed, the green corridor will cover six of the nine states in the Northeast, passing through more than 65 municipalities.
The green corridor, for charging electric vehicles, is the result of a Research and Development (R&D), regulated by Aneel, and is part of Neoenergia's Electric Mobility Program.
Neoenergia aims to associate charging stations with solar energy generation in the Northeast
Neoenergia is studying associating charging stations in the Northeast with the generation of photovoltaic solar energy, according to Neoenergia's corporate R&D manager, José Brito.
“We recognize the importance of ensuring sustainable development through measures aimed at combating climate change and investing in electric mobility is part of this commitment. After all, the use of electric cars reduces the emission of gases into the atmosphere, thus contributing to the decarbonisation of the planet”, stated Brito.
