Brazil does not yet have a national electromobility law<\/strong>, but its position as South America’s largest automotive market and the rising number of electric vehicles are driving major regulatory changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At all government levels\u2014federal, state, and municipal\u2014proposals are emerging to support this energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A recent analysis<\/strong><\/a> reveals how this new regulatory ecosystem is taking shape in different regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Chamber of Deputies, one of the most ambitious bills is PL 497\/2025, introduced in March. It proposes income tax deductions<\/strong> for individuals and companies that invest in EV charging infrastructure and renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eligible investments include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another significant proposal, PL 158\/2025<\/strong>, aims to ensure that apartment owners can install private EV chargers in their parking spaces, provided technical standards are followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, PL 2156\/2021<\/strong> is in its final stage. It encourages\u2014rather than mandates\u2014the installation of private EV chargers in new buildings, and outlines a future National Electromobility Policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This national framework would:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several states are proposing or restoring tax exemptions<\/strong> to mitigate the impact of reintroduced tariffs on imported electric and hybrid vehicles (set to rise from 0% to 35% by 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Santa Catarina<\/strong>, the state plans to expand its charging network from 35 to 100 stations by the end of 2025, backed by the Electric Route program and partnerships with municipal governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Municipalities are also legislating to expand urban charging infrastructure<\/strong>, a critical factor for large-scale EV adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Curitiba<\/strong>, a bill would require new shopping centers and public parking lots to install one charger for every 50 spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> has already updated its building code to mandate EV-ready infrastructure in new developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Porto Alegre<\/strong> is analyzing a bill that would require public transport operators to transition to electric buses: 50% of the fleet in 10 years, and 100% in 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sector faces uncertainty with the upcoming tax reform. Starting in 2027, a \u201cselective tax\u201d<\/strong> may apply to polluting goods\u2014potentially including EVs, due to battery-related environmental impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, the market moves forward. In March 2025, Brazil registered 14,380 electrified light vehicle sales<\/strong>, a 31.5% year-over-year increase, according to ABVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Brazil\u2019s EV ecosystem evolves, legislation will shape its pace and accessibility<\/strong>, determining how electromobility takes hold nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brazil does not yet have a national electromobility law, but its position as South America’s largest automotive market and the rising number of electric vehicles are driving major regulatory changes.
