After the two charging points for electric cars installed in the parish of Caniço, today the new charging point started to be installed in the city of Santa Cruz.
Visiting the site of the installation, located in Rua da Praia, the Mayor stressed that these are the first steps in the network of loading points that the Municipality intends to implement in all parishes in the municipality.
Filipe Sousa recalled that Santa Cruz is the first Portuguese municipality that is an operator that holds a registration for the sale of electricity for electric mobility. This project is part of a much broader plan to adopt new measures of sustainable mobility from an environmental point of view, ensuring the optimization and rational use of energy.
The municipality of Santa Cruz wants to be included in environmentally friendly municipalities with its public lighting plan and the municipal network of charging points for electric cars.
