EV charge in Brazil

Electric vehicles is the solution - the predominant form envisaged by most countries. Lower emissions are at the heart of the justifications.

Preparing the associated electrical infrastructure is a considerable challenge. Assuming that most will use residential chargers for both cost and convenience, it is a 4 kW power supply that would be on for many hours a night, every day.

The challenge is enormous, for the entire production chain in the electricity sector. Investments in the hundreds of billions of dollars to include generation, transmission and distribution.
