O IMPACTO DA ELETROMOBILIDADE: VEÍCULOS ELÉTRICOS, MEIO AMBIENTE E A INFRAESTRUTURA ENERGÉTICA DO BRASIL

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to assess the impacts of electromobility by electric vehicles, the environment and the energy structure to meet demand, in Brazil. The methodology was based on data collection through bibliographic research on websites, newspapers, articles and monographs. The results abtained indicate that electric vehicles in Brazil broke a new record in the year 2020, whose numbers represented an increase with the percentage of 66% in relation to the previous year and 397% more than in the year of 2018. It was concluded that the manufacture of electric cars in Brazil is feasible, since most of the energy matrix is renewable and the transition from combustion vehicles to electric ones will contribute significantly to the reduction of the emission of toxic gases in the environment and to the reduction of deaths of citizens who are victims of fóssil fuel combustion.
