With a potential increase in electric car sales in Brazil, starting from Camaçari through the Chinese BYD, the innovative electric mobility startup EZVolt, part of Vibra’s renewable energy portfolio, is one of the companies approved by the Sandbox.Rio project. This initiative, launched by the City of Rio de Janeiro and implemented by the Municipal Secretariat of Economic Development, Innovation and Simplification, encourages the adoption of sustainable and advanced technologies in the city, starting with the installation of charging stations.

The Innovative Partnership

“Sandbox.Rio is an important facilitator for innovation and local development. It provides a controlled and safe environment where new technologies can be tested and improved, allowing for a regulatory framework that is more welcoming to innovations”, comments Vanessa Gordilho, Vice President of Business and Marketing at Vibra.

EZVolt was chosen after a public call for innovative projects that do not yet comply with existing regulations. With the approval, the startup will be allowed to install a network of charging stations for electric vehicles in strategically mapped locations throughout the city.

The Power of Electromobility

The proposal is to establish eight ultra-fast charging points distributed across various neighborhoods. These charging stations will serve a variety of users, from electric and hybrid car owners, local residents and tourists, to logistics fleets and app vehicles.

“The city of Rio de Janeiro is positioning itself as a hub of innovation and sustainability, with a growing adoption of ESG initiatives. This network of electric vehicle charging stations in public locations is one of the first of its kind in Brazil”, emphasizes Gustavo Tannure, CEO of EZVolt.

Pioneering and Impacting the Future

The City of Rio de Janeiro launched Sandbox.Rio with the aim of testing innovative products, services, and processes that can bring substantial benefits to the local population and the city as a whole.

The Secretary of Economic Development, Chicão Bulhões, highlights: “Sandbox.Rio represents a unique opportunity for the population and businesses to safely test new innovative services. We want to make Rio the capital of innovation in Brazil, the best place for companies to test, correct, and learn while we prepare for the inevitable arrival of new innovations”.

Leadership in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market

Vibra and EZVolt have been standing out as leaders in the electric vehicle charging market in Brazil. The company’s strategy is to provide electric charging for its clients, whether individuals or businesses. Currently, EZVolt operates in 13 Brazilian states, serving both the B2B market, with services for the fleets of the largest companies in the country, and the B2C market with its charging stations in residential, commercial, and business condominiums.

“We are committed to being the leading provider of charging solutions and energy supply in Brazil, offering a robust, available, and connected public charging network”, concludes Vibra.
