We can’t wait any longer – urges Cesare Fera, president of the FERA Group – we need to switch to clean mobility and this solar powered charging station allows tourists and Sardinians to move around without polluting. “
“The Region of Sardinia is currently engaged in the construction of a public recharging infrastructure, and will further engage with subsidies and tenders to facilitate the transition to what will be the mobility of the future, but the commitment of private individuals is essential to achieve this goal . Today’s inauguration- says Mario Porru of the University of Cagliari – represents an important element the regional charging network “.
