- Brazil EV Charging Network expanded 20.7% to 25,429 charging points by May 2026.
- Fast DC chargers recorded the strongest growth, strengthening nationwide charging coverage.
Brazil's electric mobility ecosystem continued its rapid development as the Brazil EV Charging Network expanded significantly by the end of May 2026. According to the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE), in partnership with Tupi Mobility, the country's public and semi-public charging infrastructure reached 25,429 charging points. This represented a 20.7% increase compared with the previous survey conducted in February, highlighting continued investment in charging accessibility and support for the growing electric vehicle market across Brazil.
Fast Chargers Continue to Lead Infrastructure Growth
The latest expansion was largely driven by the deployment of direct current (DC) fast chargers, which increased by 32.8% over the three-month period to reach 8,601 units. As a result, fast chargers now account for 33.8% of the country's total charging network. Alternating current (AC) slow chargers also posted healthy growth, climbing 15.4% to 16,828 units after new legislation in São Paulo simplified the installation of charging equipment in residential condominium developments, encouraging wider charging availability.
Brazil's Plug-in Vehicle Fleet Continues to Expand
The country's plug-in electric vehicle fleet, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), reached 505,806 units between 2022 and May 2026. This total consisted of 266,752 plug-in hybrid vehicles and 239,054 battery-electric vehicles. Based on the available charging infrastructure, Brazil now maintains an average of 19.9 plug-in vehicles for every public or semi-public charging point, reflecting the ongoing balance between vehicle adoption and infrastructure development.
Regional EV Charging Infrastructure Growth in Brazil
Brazil EV Charging Infrastructure Expansion by Region and Category
| Category | Growth / Value |
|---|---|
| Total Charging Points | 25,429 (+20.7%) |
| DC Fast Chargers | 8,601 (+32.8%) |
| AC Slow Chargers | 16,828 (+15.4%) |
| Plug-in EV Fleet | 505,806 Vehicles |
| Vehicles per Charging Point | 19.9 |
Regional development also remained strong, with northern Brazil recording the fastest charging infrastructure growth nationwide. The region achieved a 30.7% increase in total charging points, while fast charger deployment surged by 51%. The rapid expansion reflects continued investment in charging corridors and broader electrification infrastructure, supporting improved long-distance travel capability and accelerating electric vehicle adoption across previously underserved areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many EV charging points does Brazil have as of May 2026?
As of the end of May 2026, Brazil's public and semi-public electric vehicle charging network reached 25,429 charging points. The network expanded by 20.7% compared with the previous survey conducted in February 2026. Growth was primarily driven by rapid deployment of DC fast chargers alongside continued expansion of AC charging infrastructure, helping support a plug-in electric vehicle fleet exceeding half a million vehicles across the country.
What contributed to the rapid growth of Brazil's EV charging network?
The strongest contributor was the expansion of DC fast chargers, which increased by 32.8% during the three-month period and now represent more than one-third of the national charging network. Additional growth came from AC charger installations following new legislation in São Paulo that simplified charger deployment in residential condominiums. Continued investments in charging corridors and regional electrification projects also accelerated infrastructure development, particularly across northern Brazil.
