What are the main challenges of Electric Mobility? What measures are required to unblock these challenges? What other activity fields might be reasonable solutions? This set of questions and many others guided this networking meeting held on May 24th at Porsche Centre Porto, which gathered representatives of about 60 organisations.

During the event, two case studies were presented under the theme of Electric Mobility. The first was about Porsche, presented by Hugo Ribeiro da Silva, and the second was about Mota Engil Renewing, presented by Luís Castanheira.

This was followed by a round table, moderated by João Pinto, vice-president of the Universidade Católica in Porto, with the participation of Hugo Ribeiro da Silva, CEO of XRS Holding and Porsche Porto Centre, Luís Castanheira, CEO of Mota-Engil Renewing, Filipe Araújo, vice-president of Porto City Hall, responsible for Environment and Climate Transition and Innovation and Digital Transition, and Luís Rochartre Álvares, senior advisor of Planetiers New Generation and industry fellow of Católica Porto Business School.

During the debate, it was possible to raise awareness of the adverse outcomes of the traditional mobility model, such as greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion, air quality reduction, stress due to the commuting model and the loss of quality of life in cities. As a result, electric mobility mitigates these impacts and generates "social and environmental benefits".
