By 2030, the forecast is that the market will be well divided between the sale of electric, hybrid, and combustion vehicles, led by large brands such as Tesla and Toyota

The electric vehicle market has been showing constant growth, and in 2021, there was the best performance in the area in history, highlighted by Tesla’s brand in global sales. Based on a survey by the International Energy Agency (IEA), Felipe Ribeiro reports, in an article for Canaltech, that the presence of zero-emission vehicles was at 8.57%, more than double the sales recorded in 2020, which was 4.11%.

Confirming the magnitude of the sharp increase in electric vehicle sales, the semiconductor crisis was not enough to halt all this development, even though it affected not only the automotive industry but also other related sectors. To illustrate this, we have the European continent, where electric vehicles already surpass fossil fuel models.

In a public statement, the International Energy Agency stated: “In 2020, the overall car market contracted, but electric vehicle sales defied the trend, rising to 3 million and representing 4.1% of total car sales. In 2021, car sales more than doubled to 6.6 million, accounting for approximately 9% of the global car market, more than tripling their market share from two years prior.”

Electric Vehicles in the National Market

According to the National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea) and the Brazilian Association of Electric Vehicles (ABVE), sales of electric vehicle models hit a record in Brazil last year, with the segment reaching exactly 2,860 registrations, a 257% increase compared to 2020.

The final ranking of 2021 for the best-selling electric cars in Brazil was as follows:

Nissan Leaf Tekna: 439
Porsche Taycan: 379
Volvo XC40 Pure Electric: 375
MINI Cooper Electric: 313
Audi e-Tron: 252
BMW i3 BEV 120AH: 159
Fiat 500e Icon: 146
Chevrolet Bolt: 132
BYD ET3: 124
Renault Kangoo: 120

From this, although Tesla stands out significantly in the international market, it can be observed that in Brazil the sector is led by other companies.

Electrified Vehicles in Brazil

Beyond the exclusive market for electric cars, there is also a highlight for electrified models, that is, the sum of BEVs (battery electric vehicles), HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles), and PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles). In another article from Canaltech, written by Paulo Amaral, the sales numbers totalizing the sum between electric and hybrid vehicles are even more expressive: Brazil had a total of 34,990 registrations — a 77% increase compared to 2020, with 19,745 units. The Toyota Corolla Cross, launched in 2021, sold 11,027 units and is leading the overall market.

Check below the ranking of the 10 most sold electrified cars in Brazil according to ABVE:

Porsche Cayenne -PHEV: 554
BMW 330E -PHEV: 579
Toyota RAV4H -PHEV: 810
BMW X5 XDRIVE 45E -PHEV: 812
BMW X3 XDRIVE 30E-PHEV: 836
Volvo XC90 -PHEV: 982
