Brazil, electric vehicle production and Great Power Competition

The competition in the global electric car (EV) industry has intensified since 2022, with the US and Europe on one side and China on the other. This competition is not just about market dominance but also about the control of supply chains, which is a crucial aspect of the EV industry. Brazil's potential is also clear. The Amazonian country is moving away from the US sphere of influence and approaching that of the Red Dragon through technological and industrialisation projects. It is thus becoming the port of entry for electric transport in LA, which comes from China but will be produced domestically.

The electric public transport system in Latin America

The international commitments of the United Nations Agenda 2030 have forced governments to rethink public mobility policy around the world. The change in public transport systems to electric units has put on the table the importance of China as an exporter of these units and the demand for global oil demand in the long term.
Of the total number of electric buses in the world, 95% are in China. From 2011, the change of energy matrix is a public goal, becoming the main producer and consumer of electric vehicles in the world. In Latin America, the use of electric buses is still incipient.
This energy shift will be the new impetus for the growth of the global economy in the 21st century. It will also be an issue of confrontation between the United States and China; and of Latin America with the United States.
