EV charging analysis

Rio de Janeiro, a city of 6.7 million people in Brazil's hot climate, presents a starkly limited EV charging landscape. The hot climate further compounds range anxiety, as high temperatures can reduce battery efficiency and accelerate degradation, making the sparse station count even more problematic for practical use. For daily driving, residents would need to rely almost entirely on home charging, which is not universally accessible in a dense urban environment. Without a substantial increase in charging points, Rio de Janeiro remains unprepared for widespread EV adoption, and the current infrastructure offers minimal support for even a single electric vehicle owner.
