Accelerated Growth of the EV Market in Brazil<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nRonaldo Sandoval<\/strong> began by showing the evolution of sales and market share<\/strong> of light electrified vehicles in Brazil<\/strong>. From 2022 to December 2025, market growth was very rapid<\/strong>. Electrified vehicles (which include plug-ins, hybrids, and battery electric vehicles \u2013 BEVs<\/strong> ) already represent nearly 8.8%<\/strong> of total light vehicle sales in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLooking at the distribution by technology type during 2025, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)<\/strong> had the highest sales volume within the Brazilian electrified market. Sandoval<\/strong> also presented a comparison with Latin America as a whole (excluding certain markets), where electrified vehicles reached nearly 10.9%<\/strong> of light vehicle sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrazil<\/strong> is certainly the largest market in the region<\/strong>, followed by Mexico<\/strong> and Colombia<\/strong>, which together concentrate almost 80%<\/strong> of light vehicle sales with these technologies in absolute terms. However, in relative terms, countries like Ecuador<\/strong>, Chile<\/strong>, Uruguay<\/strong>, and the Dominican Republic<\/strong> also show very interesting growth<\/strong> compared to the size of their automotive markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSandoval<\/strong> noted that while most countries increased their sales across the three technology types, the Dominican Republic<\/strong> saw a reduction<\/strong> in sales of 100% electric vehicles, while Panama<\/strong> and Costa Rica<\/strong> showed decreases in plug-ins, and the Dominican Republic<\/strong> also saw a drop in hybrids.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRonaldo Sandoval<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nInfrastructure: Concentration and Expansion Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Director of Market Intelligence at EvolvX<\/strong> moved on to another fundamental pillar of sustainable mobility: charging infrastructure<\/strong>. Most states in Brazil’s Southeast region<\/strong> concentrate more than 80%<\/strong> of light electrified vehicle sales in the country, while the rest of the country accounts for the remaining 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSomething similar happens with the share of charging stations<\/strong> by geography and by charging type. Fast charging<\/strong> still has a low percentage compared to slow or alternating current charging. Sandoval<\/strong> revealed a telling fact: 10 federative units<\/strong> account for more than 80% of national sales and also concentrate nearly 80%<\/strong> of the country’s charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“That points to two things,”<\/em> Sandoval<\/strong> explained. “First, a large amount of infrastructure concentrated in a few regions of the country. Second, the potential that the other federative units in Brazil have.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegarding the chargers-per-vehicle ratio<\/strong>, in the markets that concentrate 80% of sales, there is a ratio of 21.4 vehicles per charging station<\/strong>, while in the other 16 federative units the ratio is 18.6 vehicles per charger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSandoval<\/strong> recalled that the international recommendation or standard is to have between 5 and 10 chargers per vehicle<\/strong>, although he clarified that different countries have different targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nBrazilian Electric Grid: Low Carbon Intensity and Need for Diversification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA central point of the presentation was the analysis of the evolution of Brazil’s electric grid<\/strong>. Sandoval<\/strong> highlighted that between 2023 and 2024, generation from photovoltaic solar<\/strong>, wind<\/strong>, and natural gas<\/strong> technologies increased. “We know that the transition doesn’t depend on a single technology \u2013 it needs diversification,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe specialist underscored the need for greater flexibility<\/strong> to avoid future bottlenecks in the response capacity of the National Interconnected System<\/strong>, especially with the increasing integration of new technologies into the electricity generation mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt’s no secret that Brazil’s electric grid is one of the cleanest in the world<\/strong>, but it’s also necessary to recognize that the country and the market need the integration of technologies that can complement traditional renewable clean sources, such as photovoltaic solar, natural gas, and other clean fuel technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdditionally, Sandoval<\/strong> presented a comparison between Brazil’s low electric carbon intensity<\/strong> and its economy. Carbon intensity<\/strong> is a very important indicator for measuring how much CO2 or greenhouse gases an economy generates to produce one economic unit (in this case, US dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\nJust as the greenhouse gas generation of Brazil’s electric grid is low<\/strong>, so is the carbon intensity of its economy<\/strong>. This creates an opportunity to capture that benefit from a financial perspective<\/strong> \u2013 generating income with new clean technologies while simultaneously reducing environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInvitation to Learn about EvolvX’s Market Reports<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo wrap up, Ronaldo Sandoval<\/strong> invited attendees to contact EvolvX<\/strong> and the Latam Mobility<\/strong> organization to learn more details about the report presented and reports from other countries in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“The idea is that you can find here, be able to talk with all these types of profiles \u2013 with investments from the private sector and from the public sector,” he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EvolvX<\/strong>‘s Brazil and Latin America Market Report<\/strong> leaves clear conclusions: Brazil leads the electrified vehicle market in the region<\/strong>, but faces the challenge of decentralizing its charging infrastructure<\/strong> and further diversifying its electric grid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe combination of a low-carbon-intensity economy<\/strong> and a clean grid<\/strong> positions the country as a territory with enormous potential<\/strong> to attract investments and professionally develop the sustainable mobility sector in Latin America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of “Latam Mobility & Net Zero Brasil 2026” held in S\u00e3o Paulo, Ronaldo Sandoval (Director of Market Intelligence at EvolvX ) presented the highly anticipated “Brazil and Latin America Market Report” \u2013 an analysis of the current state and trends of sustainable mobility in the region.
