According to Mobi.E, the number of charges increased by 48 per cent compared to the same month last year, while the number of users rose by 44 per cent. Energy consumption grew by 61 per cent year-on-year.
An average of 21,419 charges were carried out per day, up from 20,708 in February. In the first quarter of 2025, more than 1.7 million charging sessions were completed, representing a 47 per cent rise compared to the previous year.
The infrastructure has scaled in line with demand. By the end of March, the public network comprised 6,091 charging stations, offering 11,319 individual charging points.
Of these, more than 2,330 were fast or ultra-fast chargers (over 22 kW), accounting for 38.3 per cent of the network.
The installed capacity of the network exceeded 377,000 kW, complying with the European regulation on alternative fuel infrastructure (AFIR), which requires 1.3 kW per fully electric vehicle and 0.8 kW per plug-in hybrid.
In environmental terms, usage of the network in March prevented the emission of more than 11,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide. It would take over 193,000 urban trees 10 years to absorb an equivalent amount of CO₂. So far this year, the network has avoided more than 30,700 tonnes of emissions.
Portugal currently has an average of 92 plugs per 100 kilometres of road and 125 plugs per 100,000 inhabitants.
