BEV

But the great highlight of the first ten months of the year were the sales of 100% battery electric vehicles (BEV).

This segment reached 6,831 units sold from January to October 2022 – an increase of 41.5% over the total number of BEV vehicles in the entire historical series, from 2012 to 2021 (4,827).

Brazil already has a fleet of 100% battery electric light vehicles of 11,658 units by October.
According to the President of ABVE, Adalberto Maluf, this growth reflects the greater confidence of buyers in the diversity of products offered by the market and in investments in public and semi-public charging infrastructure.

“Unlike the perception to the contrary, Brazil is advancing, yes, in public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles” – said the president of ABVE.

“According to ABVE’s calculations, Brazil already has more than 2,800 public and semi-public charging stations in operation, in addition to the private charging network of electric vehicle dealers.

“We should reach more than 3,000 public and semi-public charging stations by the end of 2022. And, according to estimates by ABVE members, we will reach the 10 thousand mark in three years. The fact is that the recharging infrastructure is following the evolution of the plug-in electric vehicle market in Brazil” – concluded Adalberto Maluf.
