One should have a valid contract with a EMSP and the card or App provided by this entity.

See here how to charge.

If you do not have a contract with a EMSP consult here the list of EMSPs.

The Mobi.E model is totally integrated in the electricity sector, following the same functioning rules and principles. Thus, just as the way we are used to making a contract with an energy supplier for our homes and companies, paying the consumptions made at the end of a given period, electric mobility also follows the same principle, in this case, the contract and payments being made with a CEME.  
However, soon, the Mobi.E network shall provide the possibility of making the payment to the CEME upon completing the charge.

Your EMSP should provide such information.

Yes.

The card provided is for any EMSP, provided it is valid, granting access to all stations from the Mobi.E network irrespective of the Operator from the Charging Point (CPO).

No.

To gain access to any of the network’s charging stations one should contract the electric supply with a EMSP, which in turn shall supply a means of access to the network (card or App).

The EMSP has no restrictions in defining their price list.
Thus, one should compare the various commercial offers from the EMSPs.

See here the list of EMSPs.

One shall pay what they contractually agreed to with the EMSP. Typically the energy value, in addition to the point’s Operation Fees, minus possible incentive discounts /subsidies from the State.
In the invoice presented to the user, the EMSP must itemize these amounts.

Normally, the EMSPs charge in accordance with one, or a combination of the following variables:
Energy consumed -  €/kWh;
Charging Time  -  €/min;
By charge -  €/charge.
 

Yes.

Consult your EMSP.

No.

It is the Electric Mobility Network Managing Entity, whose activity consists in managing and monitoring the electric mobility network. Find out more here.

As a way of promoting electric mobility, the Government approved financial support which means a discount applicable to tariffs in force for access to networks for electric mobility, paying the user, with the discount, the following amounts:

Energy consumed -  €/kWh;
Charging Time  -  €/min;
By charge -  €/charge.

Value to be paid for Access Tariff from Networks in 2020, with a discount 
The time slots shall be presented by the EMSP.

The energy cost is the one agreed to with your EMSP. Operation Fees should be added to this value and is found listed at the charging stations or can be consulted on the site map.

Some Apps already provide, for each, forecasted charging costs, as well as, at the end of the charge, your total cost.

The EMSPs, currently, invoice at the end of the month and the invoice (or any annexes) itemises the cost of each charge.

It is the network composed of the charging stations of all the Operators (CPO) duly licensed in Portugal, largely located in public access spaces, which are available for use by any electric vehicle user, irrespective of the EMSP with which one has contracted the acquisition of electricity for their vehicle. 

Yes, provided that it is duly listed at the station and is the same for any user.

It is an infrastructure that permits the charging of batteries from electric vehicles, which may be a normal charge (until 16 kW), semi- fast (from 16 kW to 22 kW), fast (from 22 kW to 50 kW) and ultra-fast (above 50 kW). 
In all the cases, the station is composed by a communication module, which acts as an interface between the user and the Mobi.E Network, permitting the user’s authentication, registering consumption and other functionalities. 
The  charging stations stand out by the type of outlets sockets they have to complete the charge and by the power they provide, by which the charging time is determined.
Typically, normal charging stations have built-in outlets sockets from which the user attaches a charging cable. In the case of fast and ultra-fast points, such equipment has its own cables to connect to the vehicle.

Currently, the Operators may establish their price on the basis of the three following components, being able to combine one, two or three of these components when setting the final price:

· Fixed cost per charge (activation fee);
· Cost per time unit (€/min.);
· Cost per energy unit (€/kWh).

It should be noted that the cost per energy units corresponds to a service (for using the station) and not for the supply of electricity, which is always the EMSP’s responsibility.

The Mobi.E network is constantly growing. Currently there are more than 1.800 charging stations with more than 3.800 charging points.
If you consult the “Find station” section you may visualize on the map the entire country (Mainland and islands) and you shall have the number of all active stations and their respective sockets (charging points) at this precise moment.

No.

For the same charges, the point’s Operator must request the same amount (Operation Fees) to all users, irrespective of their EMSP, and in accordance with the price listed at the charging station.

Consult here the list of Operators.

No.

The total price paid by the user accounts for the station’s operating service cost (Operation Fees,) listed at the station, and the service cost provided by its EMSP (in general, its referring to electricity), in accordance with the contract conditions signed with that particular party.

There exists 4 modes of charging:
Charging Mode 1: Relating to normal charges in industrial outlets sockets with a normal vehicle charger (normally motorcycles and similar vehicles);
Charging Mode 2: Relating to normal charges in industrial outlets sockets using an integrated control adapter in the cable (normally cars);
Charging Mode 3: Relating to normal charges in “Mennekes” outlets sockets with a normal vehicle charger;
Charging Mode 4: Relating to fast and ultra-fast charges, utilizing a charger that alters the characteristics of the supplied current to the vehicle (passing from alternating currents to a continuous one).
 

Consult your EMSP.

It should be mentioned in the contract signed with your EMSP.

The charging time of an electric vehicle depends on various factors, namely, its battery size, the characteristics of the vehicle’s internal convertor and the power from the charging station being used. 
Depending on the vehicle’s internal convertor, the charges can have the following durations:  
Normal charging station(3,7 kW): between 4 to 5 hours to charge 100 km in the vehicle. 
Semi-fast charging station (22kW): 45 min to charge 100 km in the vehicle.
Fast charging station (50 kW): 20 minutes to charge 100 km in the vehicle.
Ultra-fast charging station (160 kW): 5 minutes to charge 100 km in the vehicle.
The presented charging time values are reference values for the power provided by the charging station.

An electric vehicle is, above all, a more environmentally friendly vehicle. Having greater energy efficiency than an internal combustion engine vehicle and does not emit locally, pollutant or greenhouse gases.

Moreover, usage and maintenance costs of an electric vehicle are lower than a conventional vehicle, which makes, in the majority of situations, the total acquisition and usage cost of an electric vehicle to be lower to the cost for an equivalent vehicle with a combustion engine.

See the Advantages page and also check the Benefits and Incentives page to find out about financial support and tax benefits in force.

The installation should be guaranteed by a Charging Point Operator (CPO), who should obtain from the Municipality a user license for public domain purposes. 
In this sense, we advise contacting an CPO which can be found here. Equally, you may, pass on to the Town Hall your intentions, in order for them to take this into account for future projects in the expansion of the electric mobility network.

Your electric vehicle may be charged at all the Mobi.E Network stations.
The Mobi.E network has at the disposal of its users, thousands of charging stations of various power levels in public access spaces, operated by the various, duly licensed Charging Point Operators (CPO). Consult the map for available charging stations. 
The charging of electric vehicles may also be at home or at the workplace. However, its installation should respect the technical conditions defined in existing legislation, which can be consulted here.

The chargers of Mobi.E’s Network comply with European Directives and standards, being made up of standard outlets sockets which may be used by any electric vehicle.

Yes. Nevertheless, for safety reasons, we advise against using conventional outlets sockets in charging such vehicles. There exist appropriate solutions for domestic charging practices that are available on the market, with its installation always respecting the technical conditions and being carried out by a duly accredited professional. 
If you wish to use your home charger, as you do with a charger in public spaces, with the energy being paid directly to your EMSP and not on your household bill, just connect your private charger to the Mobi.E network and you may also share the charger with your neighbours or visitors and each one pays their consumption directly to their respective EMSP.

The charging stations from the Mobi.E network may be installed in public and private spaces. Yet, if installed in a public access location (in a public or private space), any charging station must has to be connected to the Mobi.E Network.

In the case of charging stations in a private space with public access, the charging stations are installed, provided, operated and maintained by the licensed operator (CPO).

In the case of charging stations in a private space with private access, the installation, provision, operation and maintenance of the charging stations for exclusive or shared use, can be undertaken by duly licensed operators (CPO) or from the rightful owners, under any legal title, from the charging station’s installation location. 

In the latter case, space owners may also opt to request the integration of those charging stations in the Mobi.E network, constituting themselves as the Charging Point Owner (CPO). 

With the integration of the stations on the Mobi.E Network, the CPOs benefit from the electricity supply for electric mobility and guarantee the necessary energy arrangements with the location’s installation; having the consumptions being paid by the users directly to their EMSPs and deducted from the electricity invoice for the location where the station is found to be installed. 

In these cases, the location’s owner may make the station available to their clients, not charging usage fees, but with the electric vehicle users being responsible for the payment of having electricity transferred to their own vehicles, directly to their EMSP, with the space’s owner not having any electricity cost.
 

Yes, the network of Mobi.E stations available in public spaces enables the charging of any electric vehicle, be it of 2 or 4 wheels, provided that they are compatible with sockets outlets in mode 3 with type 2 (Mennekes) connectors. 

No tax concession is foreseen for companies that install electric vehicle charging stations.

The official garage workshops for EV marks traded in Portugal are prepared to proceed with the maintenance of electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles fully comply with the safety standards applied to current internal combustion engine vehicles. Moreover, there exist various requirements defined by certified international bodies that are applied to electric vehicles and the charging infrastructure which make technology much safer.

In order to avoid electric shocks there exists different power levels adapted to each electric installation and also safety mechanisms that prevent the incorrect handling of equipment and connection cables, even in adverse weather conditions.

Mobi.E Network charging stations have a cable locking system which does not allow it to be removed without the user logging out of the charging station . On the other hand, whenever the cable is disconnected from the vehicle, the system automatically cuts off the electricity, thus, it is not possible to charge another vehicle without a new login being made.

To see the list of charging stations, access the Mobi.E Network map.
Upon clicking on the station’s icon, all relevant information about the selected station shall be provided.

A MOBI.Charger is the owner of a charging station installed in a small or medium-sized commercial space (hotel, restaurant or other), located in a private space with private access that is made available to its customers and that is integrated into the Mobi network. 

This is an additional service available to customers either directly, by purchasing the equipment from a manufacturer, becoming a Charging Point Holder, or through a Charging Point Operator, who will be responsible for the installation and operation of the station.

There may be if the station is operated by a Charging Point Operator. In this case, the amount to be charged will be indicated at the post.

If it is a Charge Point Holder post, there will be no operating fee.

The support for the purchase and installation of chargers provided for in Directive No. 3419-B/2022 is applicable to Individuals and Condominium Administrations located in multi-family condominiums.

No, the incentive is granted to support the acquisition and installation of charging stations for electric vehicles, duly connected to the Mobi.E Network, in common spaces for private use associated with multifamily housing units on horizontal property, presented by residents or condominium administrations for parking spaces in the same condominium/CPE.

No, the incentive is for the purchase and installation of the charging station, regardless of whether or not you own an electric vehicle.

Yes: one charger per unit owner; up to 10 chargers per condominium/CPE; up to the maximum estimated allocation of 270 chargers or €500,000.

During a period of 24 months from the date of approval of the incentive, no additional costs accrue to the DPC as the incentive includes the payment, by the Environmental Fund, of the Electric Mobility Management Entity (EGME) Tariff to the Charging Station Holders (DPC), established under the Electric Mobility Regulation (Regulation No. 854/2019, of 4th November, amended by Regulation No. 103/2021, of 1st February).

MOBI.E and Fundo Ambiental have their integrated systems, so this verification is automatic.

The infrastructure can be linked to the Common Services of the Building and, therefore, to the CPE of the Condominium.
It can also be connected to the fraction as long as the owner has a closed box whose electrical supply is connected to his fraction.

None. From the information provided by MOBI.E, the Distribution Network Operator segregates the electricity consumption of the CPE in question, not paying more energy or more contracted power.
Example: At the end of the month, the common services meter reports 400kWh consumed. This same installation includes a PCVE that reports 100kWh consumed. The Condominium Invoice will only reflect the 300kWh of the installation. The 100kWh will be paid by the owner to his CEME according to the charges made.

The Condominium may request a power increase from the Distribution Network Operator: E-Redes, EDA, EEM. (Note: since there is an electric mobility consumption point, the increase in the contracted power will not be reflected in the condominium bill).
   

The amount to be paid is what the user has contracted with their Energy Supplier for Electric Mobility. For each charge made, CEME receives support of €0.2614. You must also reflect the discount received on the invoices of the users of electric vehicles, and must clearly and unequivocally identify it.

The two previous points make the value of energy to be paid close to the values paid by consumers in their homes.

The operational contact serves to send alarms related to the charging station.

Correct understanding. MOBI.E will later communicate the Membership number.

The documents must be completed by the installer/manufacturer company with the charger settings. MOBI.E will return the settings, including the station ID, later by email.

The card will be sent to the entity indicated in the station creation file that will carry out the settings in the charger.

You can use the draft that you wish and that serves the same purpose.

They can be sent by the installation company or by the tenderer.

The station configuration is carried out by its own software and must be carried out by an expert, typically the manufacturer or entity accredited by the manufacturer.

Commissioning must be requested and carried out by the manufacturer/installer/operator, by appointment.

It is only necessary to sign the membership agreement. After this process, you must request the connection of the charging stations selected by you to the network, following the indicated procedure.

There is no cost related to MOBI.E or other public entities until the effective activation and availability of the charging stations.

No, during the year 2022 it will only have to be the indicated value that corresponds to the EGME tariff applicable to DPCs.

In the case of charging stations installed with the support of the environmental fund, during a period of 24 months starting from the date of approval of the incentive, there is no cost to the DPC, since the incentive includes the payment, by the Environmental Fund, of the Tariff from the Electric Mobility Management Entity (EGME) to Charging Point Holders (DPC), established under the Electric Mobility Regulation (Regulation No. 854/2019, of 4th  November, amended by Regulation No. 103/ 2021, from 1 February)

No.

Both solutions are possible. Both solutions are equally eligible for benefit from the support of the Environmental Fund.

With attention to point 9.1. of the Regulation (9.1 — Beneficiaries are obliged, after receiving the incentive, to keep possession of the vehicle and chargers for a period not less than 24 months from the date of acquisition, in the case of vehicles, and the connection to the Mobi network .E, in the case of chargers.), the beneficiary is obliged to maintain the connection to the Mobi.E network for 24 months. In case of termination of the contract before the aforementioned period, the return of the incentive sum from the beneficiary will be requested. After the 24 months have elapsed, only one communication is required to MOBI.E requesting end of the contract made by the DPC.

In case of taking advantage of the incentive, MOBI.E will inform the Environmental Fund of this fact.
