The electrified light vehicle market in Brazil enters 2023 with a record: sales in 2022 reached 49,245 vehicles, according to the Brazilian Association of Electric Vehicles (ABVE). The number is 40% higher than that recorded in 2021 of 34,990 cars.
ABVE’s goal was to sell 50,000 cars last year.
The electric and hybrid fleet in Brazil reached 126,000 cars with 128 different models, including hybrid cars and light commercial vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles (BEV), with BEVs closing 2022 with registrations of 8,460 units, which already represent 17% of the year’s total electrified vehicles. Values vary. The cheapest vehicles range from R$140 to R$260 thousand reais.
The market has projection of growth in national territory. Until last year, for example, only one company manufactured electrified vehicles in the country, Toyota, in Sorocaba and Indaiatuba, both in the interior of São Paulo. In 2023, Great Wall Motors and CAOA Chery have already announced that they will manufacture hybrid electric vehicles in Brazil.
