with several automakers with automotive technologies such as autonomous driving. The first vehicle that will feature the HarmonyOS operating system, developed by the company in 2019, will be the Aito M5 hybrid. Car prices will be subsidized and cost from 250,000 yuan (about $39,000), just below Tesla‘s Model Y, which is sold from 280,000 yuan under the same conditions. According to Huawei, the Aito M5 offers better peak power and autonomy than Elon Musk‘s company car. Deliveries begin in February, just after the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, giving an idea of what we can expect for the company‘s future in the segment. 5. Regulating electric mobility in Brazil Even with the crisis caused by the pandemic, 2020 brought considerable advances for electric mobility in Brazil. According to the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE), there was a 66.5% increase in plaques compared to the previous year. However, despite the good numbers, more incentives are needed to promote and facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles in the country. In Europe, for example, the EU expects to reach 30 million electric units by 2030. To this do so, countries are betting on incentives not only economic and fiscal, but also regulatory and directed to recharge infrastructure. The sale of electric vehicles had the best quarter of the historical series and recorded the plate of more than seven thousand units, according to ABVE. The entity predicts that the national market should exceed the mark of 28,000 vehicles in 2021 alone – a number that, according to other projections, can exceed 35,000. The Energy Research Company (EPE) predicts that the pace of sales will accelerate to up to 180,000 units sold per year by 2030, reaching a total of 1 million electric vehicles. For this, however, it is necessary to continue betting on the regulation of electric mobility to generate new incentives. As we commented, in Brazil, although embryonic, there are important measures for the regulation of electric mobility. We highlight: i. Resolution No. 97/2015: instituted by the Chamber of Foreign Trade (Camex), determines the reduction from 35% to zero of the import tax rate for electric cars or fuel cell-powered cars. The cut also includes hybrid vehicles, with a reduction of 2% to 7% (Brazil, Resolution, 2015) ii. Law No. 3,755/2018: creates the Rota 2030 Program, a set of federal government guidelines that includes, among other things, energy efficiency targets for combustion vehicles and incentives to produce electric and hybrid cars (Brazil, Law, 2018). iii. Decree No. 9,442/2018: reduces the IPI rate on electric vehicles from 25% to 7% and hybrid vehicles from 25% to 20% (Brazil, Decree, 2018). iv. Normative Resolution No. 819/2018: instituted by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), dictated on the regulation and recharging of electric vehicles for any companies and people interested in the provision of this service, with freely negotiated prices (Brazil, Resolution), 2018.
