The network of chargers for electric vehicles has grown significantly in the past year. After the number of messages doubled between 2019 and 2020, the past 12 months show that e-mobility in Portugal is consolidating after nearly a decade of stagnation.
In 2021, the number of public charging stations increased by 65.3%. 1417-2343 in locations in Portugal (including the islands) where any electric or hybrid vehicle owner (with external plug) can refuel their vehicle’s battery, according to JN / DV with the network governing body. , Mobi.E.

Paying the fees requires the user to have a contract with an electricity supplier for mobility (CEME), which gives the card to use at all public access charging stations, whether normal or fast. Charging points are operated by Charge Operators (OPC).
The number of charging stations is expected to grow significantly again this year, with the network of Via Verde stations increasing from 36 to 82 stations, in line with the plan announced at the end of 2020.
The remaining nine Mobi.E charging stations will also be open, each with 18 outlets.
