“…The former capital city, Rio de Janeiro, needs 2000 EVs charging infrastructure to supply 1 % of EVs penetration to the market by 2025 (Costa et al, 2017a). However, there are no clear governmental policies to identify a business model for EVs or EVs charging infrastructure, similarly for identifying the EVs types, which results in fewer investments in EVs market and repels the investors out of the market (Costa et al, 2017b).…”

Electric mobility is an emerging market around the world. Electric vehicles have remarkable environmental gains compared to conventional vehicles, they contribute to decreasing fossil energy dependence, but they need huge investments in charging infra-structure and their market price is much above regular ones. The conditions for market penetration are generally critical in emerging economies, where the purchasing power is far below that of developed economies. In addition, further technical and regulatory barriers hinder the market uptake and augmentation. This paper aims to discover and analyze the current market conditions of electric vehicles in selected emerging economies and to set up augmentation pathways, based on experiences in developed and in developing countries.

“…Likewise, Peres [73] proposed it for the city southern districts, concluding that the best areas are those presenting the largest chances of high occupation time and accessibility. Another study, oriented to determine the better locations for EVSE placement [74], resulted in a map showing that areas for slow charging are those exhibiting higher incomes and high population density. Better areas for semi-fast charging are the districts presenting important concentration of commercial establishments, e.g., shopping malls and public transport stations.…”

“…Although not developed for Brazil, research has found that early BEV adopters are usually male, present high incomes, and own more than one car, as expected from a niche product [76]. Both studies [74,75] emphasized that security issues could hamper the installation of public EVSE in Brazil. The authors emphasize the need for synergy between authorities and investors in order to promote a BM capable of attracting investments for EVSE installation.…”

As the automotive industry steers towards electromobility and electric vehicle adoption surges, Brazil and other Latin-American countries remain laggards. The Brazilian scenario exhibits unique features, such as a powerful automotive sector with large investments in internal combustion engine technology and a well-established biofuels market based on flex-fuel technology. Although energy security, urban air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, and technological advantage have been common drivers for the adoption of electric vehicles worldwide, the Brazilian immediate motivations are different, and the biofuels business ecosystem is likely to transform the path for electromobility. High tag price and public charging infrastructure absence have deeply discouraged electric vehicles adoption. A lack of regulation and a national consensus about the role of electric vehicles have been notorious. In fact, only in 2018 did the electricity regulatory agency (ANEEL) issue a resolution permitting the sale of electricity for recharging. The objective of this review was to create an outlook of the Brazilian transportation landscape. We identified relevant players, public charging infrastructure initiatives, market and other barriers, and regulation actions by consulting academic literature, media sources, and reports. We do not claim to predict the evolution of electrification. Instead, we aim to consolidate the information which can be used for decision support or strategy definition among entrepreneurs or policymakers. The main findings here are the necessity of a model for electrification able to create a synergy with biofuels and the urgency of having well-defined policies on what Brazil wants from electromobility.

Over the last few years, electric vehicles (EVs) have turned into viable urban transportation alternatives. Charging infrastructure is an issue, since high investment is needed and there is a lot of demand uncertainty. Seeking to fill gaps in past studies, this investigation proposes a set of procedures to identify the most adequate places for implementing the EV charging infrastructure. In order to identify the most favorable districts for the installation and operation of electric charging infrastructure in São Paulo city, the following public available information was considered: the density of points of interest (POIs), distribution of the average monthly per capita income, and number of daily trips made by transportation mode. The current electric vehicle charging network and most important business corridors were additionally taken into account. The investigation shows that districts with the largest demand for charging stations are located in the central area, where the population also exhibits the highest purchasing power. The charging station location process can be applied to other cities, and it is possible to use additional variables to measure social inequality.
