100% CAR MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY DEDICATED TO THE AUTOMOBILE FUTURE

In February, 100% Car completed the first anniversary of the opening of the automotive stand, specialized in 100% electric vehicles, which aims to implement a sustainable look at the automotive universe.

The path in car sales began to be traced 18 years ago with Francisco Dantas and his son, Fábio Dantas. However, the business model was innovated with the first experience driving an electric car: "The moment came when I tried an electric car and I was fascinated, I thought it was the future in the present and I believed, very quickly, that electric mobility would have a great potential", says Fábio Dantas, who designed the 100% Car brand. "After experimenting the electric car, I found that it contemplated all conditions and comfort just like fossil combustion cars", he underlines. In addition to the remarkable advantage of building a more sustainable and responsible future that, "in the coming years it will be inevitable not to think that way", Fábio Dantas also highlights the economic advantage that is "brutal" in the daily life of a family that owns an electric car, given the annual financial savings in fuel, maintenance and circulation tax.

The 100% Car is distinguished by the difference in the merchandise it sells, given that "it is almost unique" in the automotive market. In what concerns the service, they value professionalism, so they try to "do everything" so that the customer feels safe and confident in the purchase of the electric vehicle at the 100% Car stand. In order to ensure this, the company's three employees are available to provide any clarification and clarify this new, profitable and ecological universe. In this way, the most commercialized brands are Nissan, Renault, KIA and BMW.

Regarding the appointment of this first year of life, they point to a "positive balance", but believe that "it could have been better". "It was not because many people are still reticent in the purchase of electric vehicles", however, he believes that in the future these vehicles will present "a lot of adhesion". This is still not the case, as "there are many obstacles in people's mentality", namely "in autonomy and in the defamation that is made about batteries"; which results in "betrayals" to electrical conduction. However, these "humps" do not "brake" 100% Car which will launch an extension of the company's services in urban mobility, "from the smallest electric vehicle to the largest". Another novelty focuses on the opening of two Fast Charging Stations, in Santa Maria da Feira and Vila Nova de Gaia, starting in March.

The opinion of the clients "is very good", since after the first experience "people start to love these vehicles". "There is a very small percentage of people who, after the electrical experiment, return to the fossil fuel model and this only happens if they have a bad experience with the car in terms of autonomy or that does not serve for their daily trips", explains.

100% Car is located on Estrada Nacional N ° 1, in Mozelos, next to the Picoto roundabout and is open to the public, from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and on Saturday, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The available models can also be consulted on the website www.cem-percentageocar.pt
