Ultra-Fast Charging Infrastructure Grows 60% Amid Rapid Electric Vehicle Adoption
Brazil added 2,700 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the three months ending in February, marking a 22% increase and pushing total nationwide infrastructure to approximately 14,830 stations, according to the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE). This surge now covers nearly 25% of all Brazilian municipalities.
The significant growth reflects Brazil’s push to support its expanding electric vehicle fleet, which has reached 208,345 vehicles, split between 100% plug-in (45%) and plug-in hybrids (55%). The charging network expansion is vital for sustaining this upward trend in EV adoption.
Ultra-Fast Chargers See Strongest Growth Nationwide
Of the total stations, 2,430 units offer ultra-fast charging, while 12,400 units provide regular plugs. Ultra-fast charger deployment increased by 60% over the three-month period, while regular chargers grew by 17%. These figures highlight Brazil's focus on reducing EV charging time and improving long-distance travel convenience.
Regionally, the north led with a 24% increase in charging stations, followed by 13% in the center-west and 11% in the northeast. As of February, 1,365 cities host charging stations—up 8% from November. This regional expansion aligns with national goals for broader clean transportation access.
Infrastructure Keeps Pace with Brazil’s Growing EV Fleet
Brazil’s EV adoption continues to rise, with infrastructure deployment keeping pace. As more drivers turn to plug-in vehicles, charging accessibility becomes essential for mass adoption. By prioritizing ultra-fast charging, Brazil improves both urban convenience and rural connectivity.
The ABVE attributes the steady infrastructure growth to increased public-private partnerships and supportive energy policies. As demand accelerates, further investments in high-speed charging are expected to dominate the next wave of development.
