EVs: a great opportunity for Brazil
Electric vehicles can become an excellent solution as compared to the current ones.
* Significant emission reduction
* Much lower operating cost
But for this the precondition is planning:
* Preparing the electrical infrastructure
* Offering off-peak tariffs for supply
The big numbers:
* 50 million vehicles to be replaced
* Average use of 50 km/day
* Daily consumption equivalent to 500 GWh/day
* Average daily demand of 20 GW
* 30% of current national electric energy consumption
Thank Rafael for the Post!
