The number of kilometres that realise daily, by reasons of work mainly, situates above the 12.500.000, what ocasiona an energetic cost newspaper of more than 750.000 litres of fuel, that translated to broadcasts of CO2 are roughly 1.500 daily tonnes. Many of these travel (more than 75%) do in distances of less than 50 kilometres, ideals for the electrical vehicles.
Thus, the Board of Castile and Leon supports the use of the electrical vehicle designing instruments of fundamental planning, like the Regional Strategy of the Electrical Vehicle 2011-2015 and the actions of the Plan of Saving and Energetic Efficiency of Castile and Leon. The regional strategy is developing one of regional network of infrastructures of recarga, with 300 points in public road, 600 points in parkings of public use and 3.000 in home addresses. Besides it wants to coordinate the legislative adaptation to the urban surroundings for the correct implementation of the infrastructures of recarga and promote strategic economic activities around the electrical vehicle.
