Within the framework of the webinar \u201cLATAM: 2026 Roadmap for Mobility and Energy<\/strong>,\u201d organized by Latam Mobility<\/strong>, a high-level panel brought together prominent sector leaders to analyze the present and future of electromobility in Brazil <\/strong>and its impact on the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion was moderated by Daniela Garcia, Country Lead Brazil at Invest In Latam<\/strong>, who guided a conversation spanning technological innovation, regulatory challenges, and industrialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session featured Rodrigo Vicentini <\/strong>(Managing Director Brazil at CharIN<\/strong>), Ana Luiza Berti <\/strong>(Head of Commercial Brazil & Latam at VoltBras<\/strong>), <\/strong>and Andr\u00e9 Jannini<\/strong> (Vice President of IBMS <\/strong>and representative of FIESP<\/strong>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts agreed that Brazil is positioning itself as the undisputed leader of the energy transition in Latin America<\/strong>, though it still faces structural challenges to consolidate its global leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Market in Motion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The conversation opened with a focus on understanding Brazil\u2019s role in the sustainable mobility ecosystem. Daniela Garcia<\/strong> noted that Brazil is one of the largest markets in the world<\/strong>, but emphasized that sustainable mobility goes beyond vehicles\u2014it encompasses a complex web of technology, energy, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ana Luiza Berti<\/strong> shared her perspective from VoltBras<\/strong>, a company specializing in software for charging networks with a presence in 10 countries across the region. \u201cBrazil has become a benchmark for Latin America,\u201d<\/strong> she said. \u201cWhat we develop here we take to other countries, especially in interoperability technologies, advanced payments, and financial reconciliation for complex charging networks.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berti noted that the rapid adoption of app-based fleets and the surge in solar energy usage have created unprecedented pressure on infrastructure, generating both opportunities and a pressing need for greater legal certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodrigo Vicentini<\/strong>, for his part, emphasized interoperability as a fundamental pillar<\/strong>. From CharIN\u2014a global association promoting standards like ISO 15118\u2014he explained that the future of mobility depends on standardization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot repeat the experience of the \u201890s with cell phones, where each operator functioned in isolation,\u201d<\/strong> Vicentini said. \u201cWe need drivers to be able to charge at any point, regardless of the provider, with a seamless and transparent experience.\u201d<\/strong> He also highlighted Brazil\u2019s competitive edge in renewable energy and the urgent need to advance in neo-industrialization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Formula for Scalability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The panel delved into the paradoxical contrasts of the Brazilian market: a country with an enviable energy matrix and a vibrant startup ecosystem, but weighed down by a tax burden and bureaucracy that hinder industrial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 Jannini<\/strong> contributed the perspective from industry and entrepreneurship. As Vice President of IBMS and now focused on FIESP, he announced the creation of a new sustainable mobility hub within the industrial federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrazil has the potential to be a global reference in hybrid mobility, combining biofuels with electrification,\u201d<\/strong> Jannini stated. \u201cBut we need to reindustrialize. That means correcting tax distortions and, above all, distributing incentive resources more fairly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jannini offered a pointed critique: large multinationals easily access development funds, while innovative startups that create national solutions are left behind. \u201cWe are a startup developing the first biomethane-electric hybrid vehicle designed in Brazil,\u201d<\/strong> he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompeting for resources against giants that don\u2019t need that money is an uneven fight.\u201d<\/strong> He insisted that the key to boosting the national industry lies in reducing the tax burden and creating regulatory certainty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interoperability and a Vision for the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the debate turned toward prospects for 2026 and 2027, the panelists agreed that the technological challenges are largely solved\u2014the real hurdles are commercial, regulatory, and collaborative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ana Luiza Berti<\/strong> pointed out that other countries in the region\u2014Colombia, Mexico, Argentina\u2014are beginning to experience the same mass adoption that Brazil saw two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe opportunity is enormous, but we must act as a unified sector,\u201d<\/strong> she said. \u201cThe end-user cannot suffer from the lack of agreements between players. We need collaboration so that interoperability is not just a technical concept, but a commercial reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along those lines, Rodrigo Vicentini<\/strong> outlined the technical roadmap for the coming years, mentioning upcoming regulatory frameworks from INMETRO, discussions on bidirectional charging (V2G) at ANEEL, and the arrival of new technologies like Plug&Charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe expect significant progress in legal metrology and the standardization of bidirectional charging\u2014both critical for the stability of the electrical system,\u201d<\/strong> he said. \u201cBrazil <\/strong>has the opportunity not only to import technology but also to create its own component development hubs for the global market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
