“We can no longer work in isolation. The private and public industry must unite to improve the outcomes of electric cars. Simply launching electric cars is not enough and won’t solve our problem. Brazil has solar power plants, a clean energy matrix, and yet there are still bottlenecks,” reports Luiz Carlos Moraes – president of Anfavea.
Market Moving Slowly
In December, news circulated that Brazil could eliminate taxes on electric cars, but the issue did not progress in the Chamber. The cost of recharging vehicles remains one of the obstacles to be resolved.
Stellantis recently stated that it will only produce electric cars in Brazil with government support. Stellantis’ plan involves focusing on combustion vehicles in Brazil and Latin America while there are no government incentives to make production viable.
It is worth noting that the group aims to have 39 hybrid or electric models in its lineup by the end of 2021. By 2025, the plan is to offer an electrified version for every new vehicle.
