EVs in Brazil

Electric vehicles in Brazil

The advantages of electric vehicles over traditional ones are incredible: lower emissions and less energy needed for the same mileage. 

However, there are still 3 major factors that make their mass introduction into the Brazilian market very challenging:

1) The acquisition price is much higher than that of traditional vehicles

2) Charging is not accessible in a "capillary" way

3) The high depreciation of used vehicles

Probably, over time, these challenges will be overcome. We'll see!
