The main objective of the measure is to promote electric mobility in the country, through facilities for the purchase and use of new energy cars and access to charging points.
The legal mechanism is focused on articulating the formulation, adoption and implementation of the public policy of the administrative sector of mines and energy to coordinate the use.
