Mobi.E

Mobi.E (formally MOBI.E, S.A.) is a Portuguese public company and the designated Managing Entity of the Electric Mobility Network (Entidade Gestora da Rede de Mobilidade Elétrica, EGME). It is responsible for managing and monitoring the Mobi.E network, the national network of electric vehicle charging points in Portugal. The network is designed to be user-centric: with a contract with an electricity retailer for electric mobility (CEME), a user can access the entire Mobi.E network regardless of which charging point operator (OPC) owns the station. The model is also integrated with the electricity sector, allowing users to charge both at home and on the street, and it promotes competition in electricity sales and charging point operation. The Mobi.E network resulted from a pilot project started in 2010. MOBI.E, S.A. ensured its operation during the so-called transitional period and helped create a market that today includes more than 20 electricity retailers for electric mobility (CEME) and 55 charging point operators (OPC). Since 2015, MOBI.E, S.A. has been a public company and has been designated as the EGME. As a public instrument, it also acts as a promoter and facilitator of the transition to sustainable mobility in Portugal, having been responsible for implementing the pilot network of charging points for electric mobility, contributing to a more sustainable future and helping to achieve decarbonization goals. The official website states that the network connected to Mobi.E covers all municipalities in the country, including the Azores and Madeira islands, and offers thousands of charging points of various power levels suitable for different types of electric vehicles, whether fully electric or plug-in hybrid. It is a constantly growing and increasingly accessible network that allows ad hoc payments with bank cards or through electric mobility apps. Energy retailer cards can still be used at stations on the network connected to Mobi.E. The website also highlights that in the current year the network saved 159,094 tonnes of CO2, with 13,739 stations used, 8,430,323 charging sessions performed, and 197,878 energy consumed (units as displayed). Mobi.E operates as a public instrument for Portugal's energy transition, aligned with the National Energy and Climate Plan 2030, which projects a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for the mobility and transport sector, and the Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality, which defines that the mobility and transport sector should be carbon neutral by 2050. The company also acts as a data aggregator entity, publishing technical rules for the communication of static and dynamic data by operators, and it manages the legal regime for electric mobility, including new rules for users and companies in the electric mobility ecosystem. It also allows private access charging points to connect to its platform under new agreements.
