The Digitalization of Charging Stations Is Essential for the Growth of Electric Vehicles
The interest of Brazilians in electric and hybrid vehicles has been growing exponentially, reflected in the significant 91% increase in sales in 2023, compared to the previous year, according to data from the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE). This advancement places Brazil on the global radar as an emerging market for electric mobility, with the Southeast region leading in adoption.
Barriers and Challenges to the Adoption of Electric Vehicles
Despite the growing popularity, the transition to electric vehicles faces significant obstacles. A study by Bain & Company notes that, among Brazilians interested in acquiring a new vehicle, 61% would prefer it to be electric. However, high prices and the scarcity of charging stations are the main barriers. In the United States, frustration with charging infrastructure has led some electric vehicle owners to consider returning to gasoline cars, according to research published in Nature.
The Importance of Digitalizing Charging Stations
Brazil currently has 3,800 charging stations, a number that still negatively impacts user experience due to the fear of running out of battery during trips. The solution to this challenge necessarily involves the digitalization of charging stations. IoT sensors and internet connectivity allow drivers to have updated information about the availability, location, and quality of charging options through apps.
