Portugal Will Have 1300 Electricity Stations by the Year 2012
Portugal will build 1300 refueling stations for electric vehicles, until 2012 according to the Portuguese Government. The decision comes after an agreement between the Portuguese authorities and Renault-Nissan. They have agreed on a plan to reduce greenhouse gases.
The Portuguese governors claimed that 20% of the new models sold over three years in Portugal will be electric or can be recharge at the special stations. Renault will deliver in Portugal, in the year 2011 a first batch of 100% electric vehicles.
The autonomy of each electric model will initially be about 160 km. The agreement signed by Renault-Nissan with Portugal is similar to those achieved with the Denmark and Israel governments, the following two states in which will be initiated the electric program.
