According to the National Electric Energy Agency (ENEL), Brazil is able to change its energy matrix – the set of available energy sources – by 2029. This would reduce dependence on electrical energy. Hydroelectric power stations It would increase the share of wind and solar sources.
However, with electric vehicles expected to represent between 4% and 10% of the Brazilian fleet in 2030, studies conducted by CPFL Energia predict that the increase in energy consumption will range between 0.6% and 1.6%. In other words: the effects will be minimal. We will not need new investments to meet demand.
However, the arrival of electric vehicles makes synergies with other renewable energy sources, which are abundant in the country, fully viable. “Solar and wind energy are intermittent and generate energy evenly throughout the day,” says the professor. “Electric mobility opens an interesting perspective in this discussion.”
An incentive for wind energy
A good example is Texas (USA), where the energy company has created a network of electric vehicle charging stations powered by wind farms. The consumer pays a monthly fee of $4 to get unlimited access to the network’s 800 points.
According to Detour, Solar Panels It can even be installed directly in places where Recharge points.
