Tangerine and miio announce partnership to monitor and plan electric vehicle charging

Jornal Económico7 September 2026 at 15:25

Tangerine Rent-a-Car and miio, two Portuguese companies in the mobility and technology sectors, announced a partnership to integrate the planning and monitoring of electric vehicle charging into the rental service. Through the miio app, Tangerine customers will be able to locate charging stations along their route, check prices, estimate costs, and monitor charging sessions carried out.

This initiative aims to address one of the main barriers to electric vehicle adoption in the rent-a-car sector, which is the uncertainty surrounding station availability, pricing, and the charging process. The partnership aims to reduce complexity and make choosing an electric vehicle easier for customers.

The partnership also includes the integration of a miio charging calculator on Tangerine's website, allowing users to estimate costs before the trip and compare different options based on the vehicle and planned route. Daniela Simões, co-founder and CEO of miio, highlighted that car rental can be one of the main entry points for electric mobility.

Adding to this partnership, 30 new electric vehicles are joining Tangerine's Portuguese operations, which currently has a fleet of 900 vehicles.

German market remains stable after AfD victory in Saxony-Anhalt

The regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt in September 2026 marked a historic milestone for the German far right, with the AfD reaching approximately 43.8% to 44% of the vote, the party's best-ever result, while the CDU fell to 17.2%. However, the market reaction was contained: the DAX fell slightly (-0.24%), the euro remained stable and other European indices posted modest gains. Broker XTB explains that the limited impact is due to the state's small economic size (only 1.8% to 2% of German GDP) and investors' belief that the odds of the AfD taking government, even at the state level, remain low, thanks to the "Brandmauer" maintained by traditional parties. However, XTB warns that in the long term, policies such as leaving the eurozone or restoring relations with Russia could represent a significant shock to the German economy, further warning that the weakening of Chancellor Merz's government fuels political fragmentation and may raise Germany's risk premium.
