With an investment of around R$ 20 million, the project aims to install DC fast charging stations of 150 kW at nearly all Audi units in Brazil, starting in 2022. With this type of charger, the 100% electric Audi e-tron, for example, can recharge its battery from 0 to 80% in less than 25 minutes.

During the announcement, the CEO of Audi in Brazil mentioned that this is undoubtedly his dream, but emphasized that it was necessary to evaluate carefully the best timing to proceed with the project, to ensure that the implementation of ultra-fast chargers for electric cars in Brazil would be truly viable.
Roscheck also spoke about the current semiconductor crisis, which has affected several automakers worldwide and impacted Audi as well, preventing the automaker from reaching its target of 10,000 registrations this year in Brazil, with a forecast of concluding the year with only 6,000 units sold.
High Production of Electric Cars in Brazil
Audi has been working for some time to become a manufacturer with a 100% electric vehicle portfolio in the coming years. It is possible that, at some point, all Audi manufacturing units will produce only zero-emission car models.
In 2020, following a partnership with Engie, the German automaker invested approximately R$ 10 million to install two hundred AC charging points of 22kW at various locations in Brazil.
Project for the Implementation and Expansion of Ultra-Fast Charging Units and Increase in the Production of Electric Cars
When asked if there was an intention to produce electric cars on a large scale at the plant in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, the CEO of Audi stated that it is necessary to think about the right moment to take this important step, but highlighted that there is a concrete plan for it.
During the announcements made last Tuesday, the 14th, at the Audi House of Progress in São Paulo, regarding the production of the new Q3 and Q3 Sportback in Brazil and the investment in ultra-fast charging stations, the Governor of the State of Paraná, Ratinho Junior, was present and highlighted the initiatives of the Paraná Government to support Audi in its plan to ‘electrify’ the city.
The state of Paraná was the first in Brazil to eliminate the IPVA tax for electric cars, valid until the end of 2022. Finally, Johannes Roscheck stated that all electric cars that are compatible with the chargers will be able to refuel without issues at the charging stations that will be installed at Audi dealerships.
