"After the growth of electric cars, the reduction in sales costs and the help of the Government in improving the amounts of import, thinking about an eco-friendly transport, electric mobility must focus on optimizing everything related to the system and infrastructure of loads and energy management," says the director of Mobility for South America at Schneider Electric, Ursula de la Mata.
In a statement, the company points out that in Colombia there are 119 electrolineras available, "a greater amount than countries like Peru where there are only 47, an aspect that despite being relevant, does not cover the demand they currently have."
"We must bear in mind that drivers charge their electric vehicles when they stop, they do not stop to charge," says the director of Mobility, so they promote a charging system that allows people to do so from the comfort of home, workplace, buildings, among other places where they usually park.
