Comparative Study Between Fuels Shows Advantages of Electric Cars, but Also the Challenges Brazil Will Have to Face

A comparative study between electric cars, gasoline-powered cars, and ethanol-powered cars conducted by Marcelo Gauto, our partner here at Click Petroleum and Gas, demonstrates how much we need to evolve regarding the use of electric cars in Brazil.
Check out data gathered by Marcelo Gauto and see what the country needs to do to align with the new global trend. Gasoline and Diesel Vehicles Will Not Enter Amsterdam Starting in 2030.

If we consider the prices charged by the market today, in November 2018, Brazilian drivers with electric cars will spend on average 52.9% of what gasoline cars will spend and 49.3% of what ethanol cars will spend to travel the same distance.

The Challenges Ahead

BATTERIES: Batteries need to be smaller, weigh less, charge faster, and last longer on a single charge (cell phones have gone through this). They need to last longer despite continuous charging and recharging. The cost also needs to decrease substantially.

INFRASTRUCTURE: A large fleet of electric cars will require a network of charging stations, both urban and rural, to ensure convenience and reliability. The electrical grid must support multiple cars charging at the same time in the same area.

Because of the challenges, I believe internal combustion vehicles will still have a significant space in the market for decades, but they will not reign alone as electric vehicles are here to stay, being more efficient in energy use.

The 2016-2026 PDE forecasts that by 2026 electric cars will still be less than 1% of the vehicle fleet.
The PDE (Decennial Energy Expansion Plan) is an informative document aimed at the entire society, providing indications, not determinations, of future expansion perspectives of the energy sector from the government’s viewpoint over the decennial horizon. The document is prepared by EPE (Energy Research Company), an agency linked to the MME.

The Challenges Ahead

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Balneário Camboriú buries 3,700 segments in a mega project worth R$ 53 million to try to curb flooding at Praia Central, but the flood solution changes access to Avenida Atlântica and disrupts drivers’ routines for 30 days.

A supercomputer predicts who will win the World Cup and which player will take the Golden Boot, but the projection leaves Brazil far from the expected prominence.

Dissatisfied with seeing women outside the major breweries, a South African revives ancestral tradition, creates a brand with African ingredients, and trains new female brewmasters.

Why the letter password marked ATMs in Brazil: technology seemed complicated, became an extra layer of security, and is now losing ground to biometrics

Archaeologists find a face carved in stone in Kazakhstan and the discovery raises curious questions about ancient tombs, ancestors, and mysterious rituals of the Bronze Age.
