EcoRodovias exceeds electric vehicle charging station goal in Brazil
Headline and summary by local AI
EcoRodovias installed 113 free electric vehicle charging stations across its 12 highway concessions in Brazil by the end of 2025.
The company reached this milestone one year ahead of its original 2030 ESG Agenda goal, which aimed for 112 stations by 2026. These chargers are distributed to ensure drivers have at least one free charging point every 60 kilometers. The company uses these installations to support the growing demand for electric mobility during medium and long distance trips.
The move follows a rapid expansion in the Brazilian market for electrified vehicles. Between January and September 2026, the National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea) reported that nearly 434,000 light electrified vehicles were registered in the country. This represents a 126.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025. Fully electric vehicles saw the highest growth, with approximately 167,000 units registered, a rise of 206.1%. EcoRodovias is also implementing other decarbonization strategies.
The company replaced ten combustion-powered tow trucks with electric models at Ecovias Ponte in 2025 to avoid 153 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions. Additionally, the company operates 48 photovoltaic plants at toll plazas and support bases to produce solar electricity. It is also testing a pilot project using B100, a 100% renewable biodiesel, for heavy vehicles at Ecovias Noroeste Paulista.
