Neoenergia and Weg close partnership in electric car charging infrastructure

Neoenergia and Weg announced this Tuesday (18) a partnership in the infrastructure segment for electric vehicles.

The machinery and equipment company from Santa Catarina will be the exclusive supplier of charging solutions for Neoenergia, which has its own fleet of electric cars and also sells charging stations to business, commercial and residential customers.

The agreement between the companies provides for the supply of equipment produced nationally by WEG with a power of 7.4 kilowatt (kW), ideal for homes or condominiums, and 22 kW, more suitable for companies or businesses.

The ecosystem of solutions provided by Weg also includes a management platform for charging or apportioning the consumption of each user, controlled access via proximity cards and a demand control system.

Neoenergia’s Director of Liberalized Business, Hugo Nunes, said in a statement that the partnership is in line with the company’s commitments to sustainable development “by stimulating the local production chain and electric mobility, in order to promote the efficient decarbonization of the economy.” and the fight against climate change”.

Neoenergia has been operating in the electric mobility segment with a series of projects, such as the installation of an electroway in the Northeast, and last year it expanded its business strategy by offering charging solutions.

Weg, on the other hand, wants to make electric mobility “a reality in Brazil”, serving “in a structural way the entire chain necessary for the viability of electric vehicles”, said Manfred Peter Johann, superintendent director of Weg Automação, in a note.
