Mobi E project

Summary

The video discusses the urgent need for sustainable mobility in Portugal, highlighting the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. With 43% of its electricity generated from renewables, Portugal is paving the way for electric vehicles (EVs) that enhance energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. The Mobby air network aims to establish a comprehensive charging infrastructure, featuring both rapid and slow charging points, making EVs accessible for all. This integrated model for electric mobility not only promotes a cleaner environment but also positions Portugal as a leader in the exportable green technology sector.
