Veículos Elétricos no Brasil: Um Panorama Atual do Mercado de Eletrificados no País

Abstract

In 2022, according to the National Energy Balance report, the transportation sector in Brazil was the main emitter of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, with 197.8 MtCO2. On the other hand, the same balance indicates that the Brazilian electricity matrix is composed of 78.1% renewable sources, which are less harmful to nature. Thus, the use of electric vehicles in conjunction with the use of renewable electric sources proves to be the most viable alternative to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the environment. For this reason, this work aims to provide an overview of the situation of electric vehicles in Brazil, identifying the advancements achieved so far and analyzing possible improvements for the sector's further development. To achieve this purpose, the main bibliographic references focused on the Brazilian automotive market and regulations were used. Through this study, it was possible to observe a remarkable advancement in Brazil in this area, with a growth of 41561.54% in sales from 2012 to 2022, in addition to the development of various public incentive measures at the three government levels. Finally, it is still necessary to create a broader measure that primarily favors the local industry, in order to make the Brazilian electric vehicle market as attractive as the leading countries abroad.
