During the webinar \u201cChallenges and Opportunities of Electromobility in Brazil,\u201d<\/strong> leading industry experts took an in-depth look at the current and future landscape of electric mobility in the South American country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual event, organized by\u00a0Latam Mobility<\/strong>\u00a0and moderated by\u00a0Daniela Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, Country Manager for Brazil, brought together three key industry leaders: Rodrigo Vicentini<\/strong>, Test Engineering Manager at\u00a0Keysight Technologies<\/strong>; Tadeu Azevedo<\/strong>, CEO of\u00a0Power2Go<\/strong>, and Ra\u00fal Liston<\/strong>, Head of Operations at\u00a0WeCharge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion focused on critical factors shaping the development of electromobility in Brazil, with a particular emphasis on regulatory frameworks and safety standards<\/strong> for charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necessary Regulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tadeu Azevedo<\/strong>, CEO of Power2Go, emphasized that Brazil has a robust set of technical standards, including NBR 5410<\/strong> (electrical installations) and IEC 61851<\/strong> (chargers). However, he pointed out that the real challenge lies in proper implementation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing concerning practices, such as irregular charger connections to residential meters or the use of standard outlets for high-power charging, which pose a significant fire risk,\u201d\u00a0Azevedo warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed the need to professionalize the sector<\/strong>, avoiding what he called \u201cquick-fix solutions\u201d<\/em> that compromise user safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodrigo Vicentini<\/strong>\u00a0of Keysight Technologies expanded on the technological aspects:\u00a0\u201cBeyond physical installations, we must focus on\u00a0system interoperability<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0cybersecurity<\/strong>\u00a0in charging infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vicentini noted that the CCS2 standard<\/strong> has become the dominant choice in Brazil, ensuring compatibility between vehicles and chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring Reliability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the operational side,\u00a0Ra\u00fal Liston<\/strong>\u00a0of WeCharge shared key insights on managing charging infrastructure:\u00a0\u201cEquipment quality<\/strong>\u00a0and the adoption of open protocols like\u00a0OCPP<\/strong>\u00a0are crucial for ensuring long-term charging point reliability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liston cautioned against opting for low-cost, uncertified equipment\u2014a practice that could lead to higher costs<\/strong> in the medium term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An innovative model presented during the webinar was\u00a0Power2Go\u2019s charger leasing program<\/strong>, which includes maintenance.\u00a0\u201cThis approach ensures users always have up-to-date, fully functional equipment, eliminating maintenance headaches,\u201d\u00a0Azevedo explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regional Landscape and Next Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Panelists also examined the regional scenario, noting that Brazil\u2014with over 14,000 registered public charging points<\/strong>\u2014is making significant infrastructure progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, major challenges remain, including implementing roaming systems<\/strong> between different charging networks and harmonizing standards<\/strong> across Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElectromobility knows no borders. EVs travel between countries, and we need a\u00a0regional vision<\/strong>\u00a0to facilitate this flow,\u201d\u00a0said Vicentini, citing Keysight\u2019s technical collaborations with governments in Chile and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
