The 503% growth in the electric vehicle fleet in Brazil, according to Denatran, has the potential to boost the sale of solar powered chargers. Experts predict a 150% increase in sales of single-phase and three-phase chargers by the end of 2024.
Growth in the electric vehicle fleet and the role of Denatran Data from Denatran (National Traffic Department) reveal that the electric vehicle market has been expanding rapidly in the country. Between 2019 and 2023, the number of electric cars increased from 24,6 thousand to 124,4 thousand, an increase of approximately 503%.
The growth trend is attributed to the change in behavior and greater engagement of people with the environment, as well as the savings provided by electric vehicles.
Additionally, we bring there are even electric cars with prices below 50 thousand reais in the international market, promoting more competitiveness and popularity of this type of vehicle

- Volkswagen Polo Track 2024 arrives with a 1.0 naturally aspirated engine with up to 84 hp, consumption of 15,5 km/l, and space for the whole family, redefining the concept of an entry-level car in Brazil!
Solar energy and the expansion of charging stations
The continued demand for electric vehicles requires an increase in the number of charging stations. According to the Associação Brasileira do Veículo Elétrico, Brazil had approximately 2.950 public and semi-public charging stations in December 2022. This growth also boosts the market for electric chargers powered by solar energy, which needs to keep up with the expansion of charging stations.
Economy and autonomy of electric vehicles – Electric vehicles can be more advantageous and economical than combustion cars. Average consumption ranges from 15 kWh to 25 kWh every 100 km, and traveling a thousand km can cost between R$ 105 and R$ 175, considering an average tariff of R$ 0,70/kWh.
The autonomy of the models available in Brazil, according to data from Denatran, ranges from 150 km to 530 km with a full charge, making them a more economical option compared to combustion cars.
Solar chargers and the future of electric mobility
Raphael Brito, founding partner of Solarprime, emphasizes that, in the future, it will be possible tol refuel electric vehicles at zero costusing solar energy. Solarprime, for example, expects to sell around 800 chargers powered by solar energy in 2023, with a projected sale of more than 2 units by 2024, representing an approximate increase of 150%.
The company markets single-phase and three-phase chargers, which vary in charging time and power, meeting the different needs of consumers, according to Denatran.
Government incentives and the popularization of electric vehicles
Denatran and the Brazilian government play a key role in encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles and promoting solar energy. Tax incentives, tax breaks and facilitated financing programs may be crucial to further popularize electric vehicles and solar-powered charging systems in the country.
The solar energy market in Brazil still faces some challenges, such as the lack of specific credit lines and the high initial cost of installing photovoltaic systems. However, the growing demand for electric vehicles and the expansion of charging stations create opportunities for the solar energy sector, stimulating the development of more accessible and efficient technologies and solutions.
Education and awareness about the importance of solar energy
For solar energy to become even more popular and accessible in Brazil, it is important to promote education and awareness about the benefits of this clean and renewable energy source. Educational campaigns and partnerships between companies such as Solarprime and Denatran can contribute to informing the population about the economic and environmental benefits of electric vehicles and the use of solar energy, encouraging the large-scale adoption of these technologies.
The expressive growth of the electric vehicle fleet in Brazil, driven by Denatran initiatives and by the growing interest of the population, has the potential to foster the market for solar energy and solar chargers in the country. The expansion of charging stations and the development of more accessible and efficient technologies can make solar energy an increasingly viable and sustainable option for the future of electric mobility in Brazil.
