Besides Supporting The Network Of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, The Announced Investment Of R$ 10 Million By The Joint Venture Is Aimed At Offering Other Solutions For The Electric Car Market In Brazil
The application of this multimillion-dollar resource from Raízen will be in the startup Tupinambá Energia, which develops solutions in electric vehicle charging technology. The company, now a partner of Shell and Cosan, was created in 2019 and now operates end-to-end charging infrastructure and systems, from the app to the charged electric car.

The Tupinambá app brings together more than a thousand mapped electric vehicle charging points throughout Brazil, making it easier for electric car users to locate the services offered.
Through the investment of R$ 10 million, Shell and Cosan intend to accelerate the development of the electric vehicle charging network in the country, as well as potentially convert their investments into equity in the company.
All this partnership will be included in Raízen’s portfolio regarding electric mobility. The services also include the supply of renewable energy and electric refueling solutions for corporate fleets, in addition to the development of the rapid charging network of the Shell Recharge program.
In Addition To Electric Vehicle Charging, Raízen’s Strategy Is For Selling Services And Products In A Single Virtual Environment
The investment in partnership with the startup Tupinambá Energia is part of Raízen’s goal to become a reference in one stop shop services for electric vehicle energy solutions. This means allowing the customer to acquire various products and services in one place.
Raízen invests in distributed generation solutions and electricity commercialization in the free market, energy efficiency, renewable energy certificates, and electric mobility.
In 2018, the company created one of the major business hubs called Pulse. Currently, Pulse directly collaborates with the development of over 50 associated startups. Thus, more than 70 pilot projects have been tested within Raízen.
Another project related to urban electric car charging infrastructure came from Movida. The car rental company announced in December 2021 the opening of its first concept store for electric mobility located on Marginal Tietê in São Paulo.
On site, there are 10 standard electric vehicle charging points from Zletric, capable of charging up to 25 vehicles per day, in addition to an ultra-fast charger from Nissan, which allows for a full charge in just 40 minutes.
Will The Number Of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Increase With Raízen’s Investment?
The electric vehicle market in Brazil has been growing every year. In 2021, according to the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE), 34,990 electrified cars were sold in the country.
This number represents a growth of about 77% in sales, compared to the previous year. It was much higher than ABVE’s projections, which were around 29,000 electric cars.
The expectation for 2022 is to replicate the growth achieved in 2021. ABVE projects a minimum growth of 50% in electric vehicle sales.
The Shell electric vehicle charging stations are expected to spread across Brazil with the announced investments and partnerships, but there are no dates disclosed yet. According to ABVE, the number of charging stations jumped from 500 in 2020 to 850 in 2021, and the forecast is that this number will increase by at least 50% in 2022.
