Electric And Hybrid Car Sales In Brazil Will Reach A New Record By The End Of 2022.

According to data from the ABVE (Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association), 49,245 electric and hybrid cars were licensed, a 41% increase compared to the previous year (34,990). The last month of the year was the second best in ABVE’s historical series (since 2012), with 5,587 registrations, surpassed only by September 2022 (6,391).

As a result of these outcomes, the current fleet of electric and hybrid cars in the country stands at 126,504, including hybrid and light commercial vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV).

The electric vehicles (BEVs) were highlighted in the electrification segment, with 8,460 registrations by the end of 2018, representing 17% of EVs, with 898 BEVs sold in December alone.

The ABVE emphasized the need for new industrial parks for electric and hybrid vehicles in Brazil, which would be beneficial for both job generation and technological integration. In conclusion, the entity highlighted confidence through the first speech of the new government and its commitment to promoting a green economy.

Moreover, we have made significant announcements in 2023 regarding electric vehicle production, such as the automakers Great Wall Motor and Chery Automobile, not to mention BYD, which is negotiating the construction of a complex to produce cars, buses, and batteries in the country.

Another highlight was the expansion of the offering of electric and hybrid vehicles in various segments in the country, increasing from 70 models in May to 128 models by the end of December.

What Are Electric And Hybrid Cars

An electric car is an automotive vehicle designed for the transport of goods and people with electric propulsion. The term generally describes passenger cars but may also be understood to encompass a wide range of vehicles across various segments. The usual international abbreviation is EV, which stands for Electric Vehicle.

A hybrid car, on the other hand, is a vehicle that has an internal combustion engine, usually gasoline, and an electric motor that allows the combustion engine to operate at low speeds or, at certain moments, not operate at all, thereby reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.

Therefore, it is up to the consumer to choose which options for electric and hybrid cars best fit their daily needs, always remembering that some Brazilian cities are still not ready to accommodate this type of technology, necessitating charging and refueling through other means.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

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.

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.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

The YouTuber Mark McCann bought a Bugatti Veyron for almost $1.2 million, but discovered that the supercar’s gearbox is so damaged that even Bugatti itself won’t accept to repair it, and the repair could cost a fortune.

The river rose 15 meters overnight and devastated a village in Vietnam in 2025, and Japan responded with dams that hold back mud and stones, training 15,000 people for evacuation, and a sewage station for 1 million residents.

Giant earthquake returns to haunt California after study points out San Andreas and San Jacinto faults at highest stress level in 1,000 years, with risk involving Los Angeles and other populated areas.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
