Abstract

Environmental pollution affects climate change and cause various impacts on human health. The vehicles are among the main contributors to the problem. In Brazil, to combat this environmental pollution, public policy has been implemented in order to increase the efficiency of vehicles and diversify the use of alternative energy sources to fossil fuels (ethanol and biodiesel). On the other hand, the automakers developed electric and hybrid vehicles, which mix electricity with other fuel. This study aims to analyze the Brazilian market for electric vehicles, as well as their advantages and disadvantages in relation to environmental pollution.
