Technology assessment, impacts and public policies: A review on electric vehicles in Brazil

Abstract

This article addresses electric mobility in Brazil, highlighting the advances, perspectives and impacts. The absence of detailed national regulations has been an obstacle to the advancement of the sector. The lack of standardization, standards and awareness also has an impact on the electric vehicle market in the country, as well as the dependence on imported components regarding the high cost of electric vehicles. One of the main challenges is the impact on the power grid from vehicle recharges. The growth of electric mobility has the potential to overwhelm existing infrastructure, especially during peak hours. The analysis of the scenario and perspectives not only drive the development of electric mobility in Brazil, but can also help manage the impact on the grid, ensuring a sustainable growth of the sector and positioning the country as a technology exporter.
