BYD, the national leader in sales of electric and hybrid vehicles, is structuring one of the country's largest private public recharging networks with fast chargers: more than 50 electric charging stations have already been installed at the brand's dealerships in cities such as São Paulo, Salvador, Brasília and Florianópolis. The equipment is available to any electric car (BEV) driver, regardless of brand, and to date, the use of the equipment has provided 1,435,000 kWh and avoided the emission of 215 tons of CO₂.
By the end of 2025, the automaker expects to make more than 150 fast and public chargers available in BYD stores throughout Brazil, consolidating a national energy infrastructure network focused on clean mobility. The operation will be carried out via the BYD Recharge app, which offers a complete experience by allowing you to reserve spaces, monitor charging in real time, and calculate the environmental impact of recharging.
"Our proposal goes beyond selling electric and hybrid vehicles. We are helping to build a reliable infrastructure for Brazil to advance in the energy transition, with a focus on decarbonizing transport. Each charger installed is another step towards a cleaner and more efficient future," says Alexandre Baldy, Senior Vice President of BYD Brazil and Head of Commercial and Marketing at BYD Auto.
How recharging works at dealerships
All the public chargers available at BYD dealerships are of the fast type, with power of up to 120 kW.
The operation and payment are made via the BYD Recharge app, which offers:
- Location of more than 2,600 chargers and online status of more than 1,000 (including partners);
- Space reservation and real-time monitoring;
- Remote load termination;
- Consumption history;
- Reports of CO₂ avoided;
- Route planner with recharge points;
- Discount coupons;
- Free service every day of the week, including public holidays and weekends.
Capitals concentrate greater volume of recharge and avoided emissions
It is undeniable that the Brazilian automotive market has been undergoing a significant transformation with the growing adoption of electrified cars and almost 8 out of every 10 electric cars sold in the country are BYD cars, reflecting a change in behavior and greater confidence in electric mobility.
The progress of BYD's charging infrastructure is already showing significant results in various regions of the country. Capitals such as Salvador, Brasília and São Paulo stand out both in terms of the number of chargers installed and the volume of energy supplied - which reinforces the growing adoption of electric mobility in these locations.
Check out the six units that have recharged the most so far:
| Position | City | Dealership | Energy supplied (kWh) | CO₂ avoided (ton) |
| 1º | Brasilia | Bali Saan | 75.234 | 6,77 |
| 2º | Salvador | Via Sul | 68.392 | 6,16 |
| 3º | São Paulo | United Nations | 61.956 | 5,58 |
| 4º | Salvador | Parvi Paralela | 56.627 | 5,10 |
| 5º | São Paulo | HBW | 55.135 | 4,96 |
| 6º | Florianópolis | DVA | 40.480 | 3,64 |
Together, these units have already avoided the emission of more than 32 tons of CO₂ - considering that, on average, every 1 kWh consumed by an electric car avoids 0.090 kg of CO₂ compared to a combustion model.
The presence of BYD fast chargers has already spread to all regions of Brazil, following the growth of electric mobility in the capitals and major urban centers:
- Northeast: Salvador leads the way, with more than 125,000 kWh between the Via Sul and Parvi Paralela concessionaires;
- Southeast: São Paulo concentrates around 117,000 kWh between the Nações Unidas and HBW points;
- Center-West: Brasília is home to the country's largest individual consumption charger, at the Bali Saan unit;
- South: Florianópolis has already exceeded 40,000 kWh supplied by the DVA concessionaire;
- North: The region is beginning to receive new chargers as part of the brand's national expansion strategy.
Sustainability as an axis of strategy
BYD's initiative is part of greentech's vision of building a complete sustainable mobility ecosystem, which brings together electrified vehicles, solar energy, batteries and charging infrastructure.
"Every kilowatt recharged means fewer pollutants in the air and less dependence on fossil fuels. It's a movement of silent but profound transformation, and the BYD Recharge network is the guiding thread of this change," concludes Baldy.
In addition to reducing emissions, the company believes that infrastructure will be key to boosting consumer confidence and accelerating the adoption of clean technologies in Brazil, especially outside the major urban centers.
