The transport sector is considered, worldwide, as one of the most emit greenhouse gases (GHG). Due to this, electric vehicles (EV) for not emitting GHG during the operation, have been strongly encouraged through governmental incentives, in Brazil and abroad. Against these incentives, little is discussed about the infrastructure needed to support the entry of this vehicle segment into the market. Regarding the calculation of the consumption of an EV utility model, based on the Brazilian usage profile, this study aims to analyze the energy infrastructure necessary to support an EV fleet projected until 2030, in view of the potential for electricity generation in Brazil, from a critical analysis and technical-economic feasibility of the data obtained. The results showed the existence of an important infrastructure gap, highlighting that EVs may not be the best mobility solution for Brazil at this moment, especially when compared to other technologies, such as vehicles powered by biofuels.
