What is it about?
This study comes up with the mapping of well-suited locations for EVCS by using geographic information system (GIS) analysis in combination with knowledge from a survey conducted with local electric vehicle (EV) experts in the municipality of Sao Paulo by 2025.

Why is it important?
The increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is among the main problems faced by the growth of road transportation in Sao Paulo, the Brazilian city with the highest concentration of vehicles accounting for 28,000 vehicles per 100,000 inhabitants. Electric mobility has the potential to catalyze the development of transport, contributing to mitigate climate change.
Perspectives
The electric vehicle (EV) is a environment friendly but its penetration is small, slow and uncertain due the lack of support infrastructure. Know the local characteristics such as the barriers to the expansion of the charging infrastructure is a very important condition for the expansion of the EV support infrastructure. This case study deserves to be highlights due to its expansion potential of electric mobility in the near future in the largest city in Brazil. The results reveal the main challenges that cities with the same characteristics of Sao Paulo will have in the transition to smart cities.
