Byd having pretty high ev market share in Brazil again in January
Brazil should be moving into EVs at a much faster rate than this. They have always had issues with payments for imported oil. Their economy was hugely affected by the 1970s oil crisis. The governments back then tried to replace imported oil with ethanol from sugar cane being used instead of gasoline. But the program had mixed results at best. Now they do have oil from offshore fields but it is clearly insufficient to meet their own needs. You would think that a country with fairly high car usage like Brazil that is located right next to the lithium mines in South America and has plenty of iron ore would be getting faster into EVs than what we currently see.
