Furthermore, according to information released by ABVE, between January and June 2024, 79,304 electrified light vehicles were sold in Brazil, a leap of 146% compared to the same period in 2023 and an impressive increase of 288% compared to the first half of 2022.
This growth highlights the increasing acceptance of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) among Brazilian consumers, who are seeking sustainable and economical alternatives for their transportation needs.
Within this context, BEVs, electric cars powered exclusively by batteries, accounted for 39% of the registrations of electrified vehicles in the semester.
This figure underscores the importance of these vehicles in leading electromobility in Brazil, consolidating their position as the market’s protagonists.

The standout of the semester was the BYD Dolphin, which led sales with 9,611 units. This model surpassed its smaller sibling, the BYD Dolphin Mini, which sold 9,059 units.
Despite a slight decline in sales of the Mini model in recent weeks, the arrival of the 5-seater version and price adjustments due to import tax may reverse this trend.
In third place, the Ora 03 recorded 3,687 units sold, standing out for its competitiveness and appeal among consumers.
Meanwhile, the BYD Seal, with 2,196 units sold, secured a solid position, especially considering its segment of electric sedans.
The BYD Yuan Plus, with 1,332 units, completed the top 5, proving to be a popular choice among new buyers.
Other Highlights
The newly arrived Volvo EX30 showed rapid growth, with 1,164 units sold, quickly approaching the BYD Yuan Plus.
In seventh place, the JAC E-JS1 maintained a good margin with 722 units sold, surpassing the Volvo XC40, which recorded 574 units.
The Renault Kwid E-Tech, recognized as the most affordable electric vehicle on the market, secured the ninth position with 517 units.
Closing the top 10, the Volvo C40, which had a more robust performance in the past, recorded 410 units sold.
For experts, these numbers not only reflect consumer preferences but also indicate the future direction of the electric vehicle market in Brazil.
