See my photos and thoughts from a recent trip to Northern Brazil and how they are coming in Electric Vehicles, Solar and Wind.
Last week, I spent some time visiting my wife’s family in Recife . While there, I spent some time checking out where they are on the path to electrifying transportation and greening their electrical grid. Brazil has the, just behind South Korea and Russia and just above Australia and Spain. It hasn’t really been a leader in the transition to sustainable energy, but there are some recent developments that could give us hope that that will change.
At the mall, I saw this electric scooter. I’m not sure how it would do on streets that have a lot of potholes. I would prefer larger wheels. At the same mall , they had two J-1772 plugs. Overall, the metro area of over 4 million people has very few public chargers.— so it is out of reach for even most of the wealthier people of Brazil.
While downtown checking out a museum, I found an electric Renault Zoe, which costs about $48,000, still too expensive for the small car. to Brazil for about $29,000. At that price, it will be competitive for wealthy early adopters to buy.here, likely due to massive tariffs and shipping costs. I was impressed with the interior quality. They offered to let me drive it but after 24 hours in a plane, I didn’t feel up to the task.The BYD Song Plus DM-i is a plug-in hybrid with 51 km of electric range and starts at about $54,000.BYD is opening up dealerships in all the major cities of Brazil to prepare for a major expansion of sales.
