São Paulo, June 2024 – Brazil’s electric vehicle market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with sales of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) increasing by 187% year-over-year in Q1 2024, according to the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE). However, the expansion of EV charging station in Brazil is progressing at just one-third the rate needed to support this rapid adoption.
The EV Revolution Gains Momentum
Recent data reveals:
48,217 EVs sold in first five months of 2024 (vs. 26,118 same period 2023)
EV market share reaches 4.3% of total auto sales, up from 2.1% in 2023
São Paulo leads with 38% of national EV registrations
“Brazil has reached an inflection point in EV adoption,” notes ABVE President Ricardo Bastos. “We’re seeing particularly strong growth in affordable EV models from Chinese automakers.”
Charging Infrastructure Crisis Emerges
While EV sales soar, charging infrastructure development faces significant challenges:
1.Severe Infrastructure Gap
Current ratio: 1 public charger per 32 EVs (vs. recommended 1:10)
Only 2,487 operational public charging points nationwide
78% concentrated in just 5 states (SP, RJ, PR, MG, DF)
2.Barriers to Expansion
Complex municipal permitting processes (avg. 8-14 months)
High import tariffs on charging equipment (35%+)
Limited grid capacity in suburban/rural areas
3.Urban-Rural Disparity
92% of chargers located in metropolitan areas
Major highway corridors average 180km between charging stations
Aegen Offers Turnkey Solutions for Operators
As operators capitalize of EV charging station in Brazil, Aegen manufacturer provides comprehensive solutions to help operators capitalize on this growing market:
For Charge Point Operators:
Rapid-Deployment Chargers – Modular systems with 60% faster installation
Brazil-Optimized Hardware – Weather-resistant designs for tropical climate

Full Technical Support – 24/7 monitoring and maintenance
“Our partnership program helps operators overcome the major barriers to charging infrastructure development,” explains by Aegen General Manager. “We handle the hardware, software, and maintenance so partners can focus on site acquisition and customer service.”
Government Initiatives Offer Hope
Recent developments suggest potential relief:
National Electric Mobility Program allocating R$380 million for charging infrastructure
ANEEL proposing reduced electricity tariffs for charging stations
12 states offering tax incentives for charger installations
Brazil’s EV adoption is projected to maintain over 80% annual growth through 2026. The country must accelerate charging infrastructure development to support this rapid transition. Without sufficient EV charging station in Brazil risks stifling its electric mobility progress. Strategic partnerships between manufacturers (like Aegen) and local operators will be key to expansion. Building a robust charging network is essential for supporting Brazil’s electric vehicle future.
