The last survey carried out by ABVE (Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association) points out that the state of São Paulo leads the Brazilian market for EVs (electric vehicles), with 34% of the total number of cars and light commercial vehicles registered in 2020.
The research, based on data from Renavam (National Registry of Motor Vehicles), shows that of the 19,745 electrified vehicles sold from January to December last year in the country, 6,850 were registered by the São Paulo Detran.
This result is four times higher than that of Minas Gerais, which occupies second place in the ranking by states, with 1,616 units (8% of the total).
The survey considered non-plug-in hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully battery electric (BEV) cars and light commercial vehicles. Buses, trucks and very light EVs (such as e-bikes, scooters, scooters, motorcycles, etc.) were not considered.
