anymore , but it is the present . Many cities already have electric car chargers . Now we want to offer this ease and tranquility on Brazilian roads .”
There will be five fast chargers , a 60Kw model with CCS and Chademo connectors . In Rio Grande do Sul , there are already fast chargers in São Sebastião do Caí , Gravataí , Gramado and Três Cachoeiras . Laguna , in Santa Catarina , will also have a power station . Four other cities will have operational power stations : Caxias do Sul ( RS ), Bento Gonçalves ( RS ), Itajaí ( SC ) and Araquari ( SC ).
The fast chargers at the Posto SIM Retro , located on the highway that connects the Rio Grande do Sul coast to the capital , are already available for users . According to Schaan , the idea is that by the end of the year , Rota Sul will serve all three states in the Southern region .
With the project , it will be possible to leave São Paulo ( SP ) and go to Punta del Este , in Uruguay , with the certainty that there will be fast chargers for electric vehicles every 200 km .
To contribute to the supply of electricity for vehicles in Brazil , four companies came together to launch Rota Sul : The first private network of charging stations with fast chargers connecting the capitals and important cities of the Southern Region in Brazil . The partnership project between Movida , Nissan , Rede de Postos SIM , and Zletric foresees the installation of nine charging points .
The charging stations will be implemented in the SIM Networks gas stations , as they are safe , with great structure and consumption options for the period in which the vehicle charges .
Diego Argenta , Retail Manager , Rede SIM , said : “ We seek to follow mobility trends to provide what people need . Electric cars are already a reality , and the goal of our investment is to meet the needs of those on the road who need easy charging .”
Rota Sul aims to provide a safe payment solution on the highway , and all devices will be inside SIM Network gas stations so that the electric car user can travel without worry .
Pedro Schaan , CEO , Zletric , said : “ Electric mobility is already part of our daily lives . It is not the future
The investment is private . As the cost of a fast charger is high , this partnership made the project viable . In this first phase , the investment was about R $ 2.4 million .
“ It is a worthwhile investment , but it will make a difference to the democratization of the electric car in the country ,” said the CEO of Zletric .
