Abstract

This study explores the total cost of ownership (TCO) and green premium of electric vehicles (EVs), including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and conventional vehicles, focusing on top-selling models in Brazil. A roadmap is devised to ease EV integration into the Brazilian market. The TCO analysis reveals that PHEVs powered solely by gasoline cost up to $0.084 per kilometre, while using gasoline in dual-fuel mode with 80% biogas reduces costs to $0.038. HEVs saw costs drop from $0.077 per kilometre to $0.054 with bioethanol in dual-fuel mode with 80% biogas. Conventional vehicles using dual-fuel with 20% bioethanol and 80% biogas achieved cost reductions from $0.106 to $0.081 per kilometre. HEVs and conventional vehicles with biofuels demonstrated annual cost savings of up to 11.2% and 14.1%, respectively, compared to gasoline-only use. BEVs, however, showed significantly lower annual costs, being up to 63.7% and 55% less than gasoline-powered HEVs and PHEVs, respectively, and between 60.9% and 73% less than conventional vehicles. The study also outlines policy interventions and infrastructure development to promote EV adoption in Brazil, enhancing sustainable transportation.

巴西采用电动汽车的情况：经济分析和路线图

本研究探讨了电动汽车（EV）的总拥有成本（TCO）和绿色溢价，包括插电式混合动力电动汽车（PHEV）、混合动力电动汽车（HEV）、电池电动汽车（BEV）和传统汽车，重点关注巴西的畅销车型。此外，还为电动汽车融入巴西市场制定了路线图。总拥有成本分析表明，仅使用汽油驱动的 PHEV 每公里成本高达 0.084 美元，而在双燃料模式下使用汽油和 80% 的沼气可将成本降至 0.038 美元。在使用生物乙醇和 80% 沼气的双燃料模式下，混合动力汽车的成本从每公里 0.077 美元降至 0.054 美元。使用 20% 生物乙醇和 80% 生物气体双燃料的传统汽车的成本从每公里 0.106 美元降至 0.081 美元。与仅使用汽油相比，使用生物燃料的混合动力汽车和传统汽车的年成本节约率分别高达 11.2% 和 14.1%。然而，生物燃料电动汽车的年成本明显更低，与汽油驱动的混合动力汽车（HEV）和新能源汽车（PHEV）相比，分别降低了 63.7% 和 55%，与传统汽车相比，降低了 60.9% 至 73%。研究还概述了在巴西推广电动汽车的政策干预和基础设施建设，以加强可持续交通。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
