Study Shows That Charging an Electric Car in Brazil Can Be Up to 73.6% Cheaper Than Fueling a Combustion Vehicle. Understand the Numbers and Economic Impacts of This Comparison.

Brazil recorded deflation of 0.11% in the last 12 months, according to data from IBGE. This movement, combined with a 4.21% reduction in the value of residential electricity, made the charging of electric cars significantly cheaper than filling the tank of a combustion vehicle, as reported by Canal VE this Thursday.

According to a study by Volvo, the difference reaches 73.6% in the cost per kilometer traveled.

Comparison Between Fueling and Charging

The analysis by the automaker considered the national average price of R$ 0.80 per kWh, according to information from Aneel, and the average price of gasoline, which is R$ 6.17 per liter, according to Petrobras.

To fill the tank of a 55-liter combustion car, which is a best-seller in Brazil, the consumer spends around R$ 339.35.
In contrast, to fully charge the 69 kWh battery of the Volvo EX30, a premium electric car, the cost is only R$ 55.20.

This contrast clearly shows how the energy transition also has a direct impact on the consumer’s wallet.

In practice, the difference becomes even clearer when analyzing the cost per kilometer. A combustion model with a consumption of 10 km/liter travels about 550 km on a full tank, resulting in R$ 0.617 per km traveled.

The Volvo EX30, with an official range of 338 km measured by Inmetro, has a cost of R$ 0.163 per km. In other words, driving an electric car is almost four times cheaper.

Advantages That Go Beyond Savings

For Marcelo Godoy, president of Volvo Car Brazil, the analysis reinforces that the benefits of electric cars go beyond financial aspects. He emphasizes that the model not only reduces daily expenses but also brings environmental gains. “The electric car is not positive only for the savings on the cost per kilometer for the consumer. It represents a benefit in various ways, such as not emitting greenhouse gases and indirectly contributing to the reduction of noise pollution, for example,” he stated.

This scenario reinforces the advancement of electric mobility in the country, even though charging infrastructure remains a challenge. The drop in energy costs and the growing difference compared to combustion vehicles make the transition more attractive. Additionally, the pressure for sustainability and emission reductions accelerates automakers’ adaptation and expands the options of available models.

Advantages That Go Beyond Savings

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The Mediterranean has become the target of the largest underwater archaeological mission ever coordinated by UNESCO: eight countries have joined forces to map shipwrecks and protect a historic corridor.

After nearly 50 years of neglect, BR-319 receives R$ 678 million to pave 340 km, gain a 320-meter bridge, and try to lift Amazonas out of the mud, the quagmire, and road isolation.

In France, a group of artisans spends 28 years building a medieval castle with 13th-century tools, without machines, without measuring tapes, and with almost zero carbon footprint, and the rediscovered techniques helped in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame.

The heatwave in Brazil that hit in March is set to end as a cold front arrives between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, causing a temperature drop of up to 6 degrees and rain in the Central-South region, according to the Easter weather forecast.

The U.S. Army has introduced its first new lethal grenade since the Vietnam War: the M111 kills using pressure shock waves that bounce off walls and can explode the enemy’s lungs without producing a single shard.
