It’s been a while since we did an article on Brazil. Last time we checked in was in May 2025, when total EV sales soared to 14,600 units and market share rose to 6.5%. In the next few months, sales grew slightly and market share mostly stayed between 6% and … [continued]
Thanks to ZEMO, we are back with our second report on Latin America! This time, with over 110,000 registrations in the fourth quarter of 2025, EV sales have reached a new record in our region! This result pulls 24% ahead of the previous records (Q4 2024 and Q3 2025, which … [continued]
