Myths and Truths: company specializing in software for charging stations lists five questions about charging stations
Profitability, business model and tariffs are some doubts regarding charging stations
With the electric car market on the rise in Brazil, sales have reached impressive numbers, indicating a significant change in the country’s automotive scenario.
Recent data from the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE) reveals exponential growth, with sales tripling in January compared to the previous year, totaling 12,026 units sold. In 2023, Brazil reached the mark of 93,247 electric cars sold, and ABVE predicts that this number will be surpassed in 2024.
Given this scenario, ABVE estimates that Brazil will need to more than double the number of charging stations by the end of 2025, installing approximately 10,000 new charging points over the next two years. Currently, there are around 4,600 charging stations across the country.
In this context, VoltBras, a company specializing in the technology sector for managing the monitoring and operation of electric vehicle chargers, listed myths and truths about electric chargers.
Check out the list:
1: It is now possible to charge for recharges made at Electropostos
True: According to Normative Resolution No. 819/2018, charging for charging electric vehicles by other companies, in addition to energy concessionaires, is permitted. This means that managers can set their rates and profit from their charging points, managing each charge individually.
2: Any type of charger offers me a complete business model
Mito: For a comprehensive electric mobility business, integrating self-service for chargers, operational metrics and charging, the strategic choice is to adopt chargers with the OCPP communication module. OCPP, an open protocol, unifies information from the charger network, allowing collaboration between different manufacturers and facilitating business scalability and integration with management solutions for better decision making.
3 Investing in chargers means following the global electric mobility trend
True: Data from ABVE demonstrate that sales of electric vehicles are constantly growing in Brazil, accompanied by the expansion of charging infrastructure. This reflects measures adopted internationally to accelerate electric mobility, such as tax incentives and a ban on the sale of combustion vehicles by 2035, making investment in chargers a global trend.
4. Electric cars can “shock” when in contact with water
Mito: Batteries are designed to withstand harsh conditions, including exposure to water. For this reason, internal elements such as connectors and batteries are carefully isolated to protect them from external influences, preventing water from reaching them. Furthermore, a safety system comes into action in the event of any irregularity in operation, acting as a circuit breaker to interrupt the connection between the vehicle and the batteries.
5: Electric stations are not profitable
Mito: Electric stations with well-established business models have proven to be profitable. By choosing the right location and the appropriate charging model, it is now possible to be profitable with charging stations. Local partnerships, advertising and subscription models for frequent users are some of the strategies that make charging stations even more profitable.
