Tendências tecnológicas e mercado atual dos veículos elétricos no Brasil e no mundo

Abstract

In the current context, aiming at the preservation of the environment and the scarcity of nonrenewable resources, we have the electric vehicle (VE) as an alternative to solve many of these problems. This paper aims to review the current market of electric vehicles in Brazil and in the world, presenting a history of the electric vehicle development, from manufacturing in parallel with the combustion vehicles, through the initial decay due to the ease of finding and storing oil and its derivates. Then view the overproduction of combustion cars and its problems arising as environmental pollution and the increasing scarcity of oil, at the risk of reaching an economic collapse, which forced the resumption of the technological evolution of electric vehicles. In this context, it is also worth noting the global effort to develop lighter and more efficient electric vehicles with higher power batteries and versatility in terms of the variation of energy used in the recharging, focusing on the type of energy source Used in this manufacturing that contributes, less and less, to the pollution of the environment. In Brazil the incentives for the production and purchase of an VE are still insufficient. The technology has evolved a lot, however, the bottleneck is still the batteries. In the coming years these new technologies can make VEs more accessible and viable.
