"Our municipality is very proud to have implemented the activation of the stations, which are available to residents and tourists. This is an important step for the future, to continue to install charging points for both cars and e-bikes, so that we can extend the charging network to less urban and more pathways," said Sestriere Mayor Giovanni Cesare Poncet.
"Clean energy, environmental sustainability and air pollution reduction, key words for our future. We are all aware of how important it is to pay attention to the environment and climate change that is now undeniable and in plain sight. Environmental sustainability needs concrete policies that can be used by everyone, tourists and residents for everyday and non-everyday activities. With this in mind The Municipality of Sauze d'Oulx has set very clear goals on ecology and environmental policies. The installation of electric columns is a step and an opportunity toward a greener and more sustainable world.
