Horizon acquired a 75% stake of WOW Plug, Lda. to establish a Public Electric Vehicle Charging network.
To explore the electric mobility industry, particularly the installation electric charging stations, WOW Plug was created to act as a CPO (Charging Point Operator). The CPO is the licensed holder whose activity consists in the installation, provision, operation and maintenance of charging points pertaining to public or private access, integrated into the electric mobility network.

The first stage of the project envisages to develop a network up to 800 EV chargers, across 9 Municipalities.
Wow Plug already signed protocols with six city councils for the installation of more than 500 electric vehicle charging stations and was looking for a financial partner to commit to fund the project.

Driven by the entry into force of EU 2020/21 car CO₂ emission, Electric Vehicles become one of the most relevant trends in Europe. The outlook for EV adoption is getting much brighter, due to a combination of more policy support, further improvements in battery density and cost, more charging infrastructure being built, and rising commitments from automakers.

Being one of the first movers on this trend will play a critical role for the success of the players.
