National production of electric vehicles is expected by 2026

The future of the Brazilian automobile industry

Amid the Beijing Motor Show, which featured a large number of electric vehicle launches, ABVE President, Ricardo Bastos, shared his perspectives on the future of the Brazilian automobile industry.

The production of electric cars in Brazil

According to Bastos, the production of electric cars in Brazil is getting closer and could happen by 2026. Brazil has great potential for the production and adoption of electric vehicles, considering its extensive electrical energy distribution network and the growing concern for sustainability.

Challenges and opportunities

Despite the optimism regarding the production of electric cars in Brazil, Bastos highlighted that there are still challenges to be overcome. One of the main challenges is the charging infrastructure, which needs to be expanded and improved to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles.

However, the President of ABVE also highlighted the opportunities that the production of electric cars can bring to the Brazilian automobile industry. In addition to contributing to the reduction of polluting gas emissions, the production of electric vehicles can boost technological development and the creation of new jobs in the country.

The role of the government in the transition to electric mobility

For the production of electric cars in Brazil to become a reality, Bastos emphasized the importance of public policies that encourage the transition to electric mobility. The government must implement measures that encourage the production and acquisition of electric vehicles, such as reducing taxes and creating tax incentives.

Furthermore, it is essential to invest in research and development of technologies aimed at electric mobility, in order to make Brazil a hub for innovation in this sector.

Conclusion

Given the promising scenario presented by Ricardo Bastos, it is clear that the production of electric cars in Brazil is becoming an increasingly close reality. With the challenges and opportunities identified, it is essential that the government, companies and civil society work together to drive the transition to electric mobility and ensure a more sustainable future for the country.
