Description

This paper aims to address the main questions related with electric mobility in Portugal. For this, the four principal strategic areas of the electric mobility program in Portugal will be presented, such as the business model, infrastructure, incentives and communication. On the other hand, the current legislation will be succinctly described, as well as the priorities defined in the Program for Electric Mobility. The different phases of implementation of this Program will be identified, with particular emphasis to the measures and incentives in the pilot-phase to promote the use of the electric vehicle. Lastly, the adopted Model for Electric Mobility will be presented in terms of the main components of the model, value chain, actors, charging network and operation of the pilot-phase.
