Brazil is making significant strides towards electromobility, adopting strategies to overcome challenges in infrastructure, regulation, and financing. Here are the most relevant keys to boosting this sector in the country:
Expansion of Charging Infrastructure
The country plans to increase its network of charging stations by 72% by 2024, adding 2,500 new stations to reach a total of 6,800 operational charging points. This expansion aims to eliminate “range anxiety,” a critical factor for consumer adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
Solar Energy
Integrating solar energy systems for EV charging is a crucial trend. NeoCharge and Voolta offer solutions combining self-generated energy and electric chargers, resulting in savings of up to 80% compared to fossil fuels.
