The Commercialization of Electric Cars in Brazil Is Getting Closer to the Boom, Brazilian Gas Stations Must Adapt If Both Bills Are Approved.
The electric car automotive industry is rapidly moving toward success in the Brazilian market, with increasing pressure for energy efficiency and combating the harm that cars cause to the environment. It is natural for automakers to start investing in solutions for the development of new products with this purpose. But, without wanting to rain on anyone’s parade, but already doing so, we are in Brazil, and our reality is quite different from that of countries where electric cars are almost a trivial item in everyday life.

The Two New Laws Aiming to Implement the Commercialization of Electric Cars in Brazil
The main idea of the two new laws is to “liberate” commercialization for consumers so that they can migrate to the free market. With the arrival of electric cars, the demand for electric energy will also increase, and the creation of new power plants will be necessary.

Brazilian Law Aims to Ban the Sale of Gasoline Cars by 2030
The Bill of Senate Law No. 304/2017, previously approved by the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ), aims to ban the sale of diesel and gasoline cars in Brazil by 2030.
This project is authored by Senator Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI), who, in presenting the proposal, explained that vehicles powered by fossil fuels are responsible for one-sixth of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere—which in turn causes the greenhouse effect.
The project dictates that starting January 1, 2030, any vehicle that uses fossil fuels will have its commercialization prohibited within national territory. The senator also proposes that, starting in 2040, the circulation of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine will also be prohibited.
