STCenters proposes a strong bet for electric cars inside this plan, making them into one of the standard mediums of transportation, as opposed to the luxurious objects that they are usually seen as, and educating the people in terms of sustainability.
In order for this to become a successful initiative there is a huge infrastructure that needs to be build first. This is a net of charging points for these vehicles around the metropolitan area of Rio, that will guarantee the effectiveness of electric cars a way of daily transportation. This new infrastructure will need a centralized operations center, from where the whole net of charging points will be controlled and managed. This operations center will be the project that this stcRIO competition will focus on.
The overall objective of this initiative is not only to renew the fleet of the city but something much more ambitious; to achieve the total integration of the charging network with the current, and soon to be inaugurated, public transport lines. This will help the people of Rio to move from one part of the city to another quickly, safely and in a much more efficient way than they do today, making use of not one, but the various transport options and combinations that will be at their disposal.
