22 April 2018 | AutoData ESSAY 2025 » ELECTRICAL SUPPLY STARTING IN 2020 In countries with their large cities nee- ding to drastically reduce CO2 emissions to meet the prerogatives of the 2015 Paris Accord - whose targets for reduction start to apply in 2020 - zero-emission mobility has become Plan A. So, in these regions energy supply companies had time to adapt their structures while electric cars took their first turns through the beautiful cities of Europe, the exuberant metropolis of China and in the United States, espe- cially in the state of California. Now the scenario is one of consoli- dation, because electric cars are more reliable, have similar sales prices similar to those of internal combustion engine models in many markets, and the main- tenance and durability of the system no longer appear as rejection points in con- sumer surveys , according to ABB. Brazil has the opportunity in the next five years to create a public-private partnership model capable of meeting the demand of electric vehicles The distribution and structure initiatives for the supply of electric vehicles in Brazil are still shy. Slowly the sale of purely electric cars in the country should boost the business around, repeating models already advanced in other markets. “Comparing with Europe, Brazil is still at an earlier stage in the development of loading points. But of course the country will be the main market in South America”, says Paolo Pescali, manager of ABB’s Electric Power division in the region. For him the country has an opportunity in the next five years to create a public-private partnership model capable of meeting the demands of a supposedly growing electric vehicle market, especially in large centers. The current moment is for sectoral discussions that involve not only the regulation of a new business model, but also projects that may arise in 2018: “We have been keeping talks with an investor to create an electric recharge structure.” The first project is already getting of the paper: Paraná will win the country’s first electro-road, with ten refueling stations along seven hundred kilometers of BR-277, cutting the State from East to West, Paranaguá to Foz do Iguaçu. The initiative is a partnership between Itaipu Binacional and Companhia Paranaense de Energia, Copel. The first electroposto was inaugurated at the end of March in Curitiba, at kilometer three of the highway. The charger was supplied by ABB. In Brazil, egg Disclousure/Formula E
