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

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
