With an innovative and futuristic proposal, this Monday (23/07) Brazil debuts the largest corridor with charging stations for eletric cars. Connecting São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the corridor is found at Presidente Dutra Highway and comes as a partnership between the EDP, a company that operates in all segments of the electricity and BMW Group Brazil, also ed by the Ipiranga. 4r4e2d

The idea consists of several charging stations, which will be found at specific points on the road and ensure that s, who have electric cars, can recharge their cars and complete the trip, without the need for another type of fuel.

The proposal initially will not include so many s, taking into the fact that there are few vehicles with such technology, however it is expected that in a short time this will increase more and more and other roads will receive the same project.

The reason we don't find so many charging bases for electric vehicles comes mainly because of their high price, something that occurs at the beginning of any new technology.

In order for the corridor to exist, a total of R$ 1 million was invested in the installation of six fast-charging equipment. Equipment is located at gas stations Ipiranga and cover a stretch of approx. 430 km, and as already mentioned, connects São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Each equipment can charge two vehicles at the same time and, according to the event, it is possible to achieve an 80% charge in 25 minutes, something really fast, compared to what was seen when the technology came out.

When the first electric cars were introduced, two points made marketing difficult, namely the charge that took a few kilometers and the time it took to fully charge a vehicle. The plan is that, in the future, the equipment will be able to charge vehicles in the same period of time it currently takes to refuel with other vehicles.

Free for s for now 4s1z1

A recent approval by the Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency), ensured that the charge for the price of each recharge was regularized. However, in the first months, those who use the road will enjoy the service free of charge.

It was not said what amount will be charged after the quoted period, nor specified how many months it will be. However, the charge will only be defined in 2019.

If on the one hand we find the company EDP, which was elected as one of the most innovative companies in the Brazilian electricity sector, on the other hand we have the BMW, which currently has electric and hybrid vehicles that impress for their engine quality and appearance, as seen throughout the catalogue.

Without neglecting the participation of the Ipiranga in the project, being one of the largest networks of gas stations found in Brazil and guaranteeing the possibility of a great expansion of charging centers for electric vehicles.

A more technological and ecological future 1z4lv

In addition to the arrival of electric cars representing a gigantic technological evolution, the novelty guarantees a cleaner fuel, thus helping the environment.

In the future, we can expect an even larger fleet of electric vehicles and a significant reduction in the gases that are produced by fuels such as gasoline and ethanol and the certainty of not having difficulties finding stations that have charging equipment.
