Assumes 90% charging efficiency and a 7.4 kW on-board charger, the limit of most electric cars sold in Brazil when charging on AC. DC charging slows down above 80%.
Choosing and installing a charger in Brazil
- Mode 2, 3 or 4. Mode 2 is the portable charger with the control box on the cable; Mode 3 is the fixed AC wallbox for homes and businesses; Mode 4 is DC fast charging (CCS2) for highways, fleets and stations. Connectors follow IEC 62196 — Type 2 on AC and CCS2 on DC are the Brazilian standard — and the installation standard is ABNT NBR 17019.
- Single- or three-phase. A 220 V single-phase home supports a 7.4 kW (32 A) wallbox. Three-phase 380 V allows 11 kW or 22 kW, but only if the car accepts three-phase AC charging.
- Protection. A dedicated circuit, a residual-current device with 6 mA DC leakage detection (type A plus RDC-DD, or type B), surge protection and grounding.
- Certification. AC chargers sold in Brazil are subject to compulsory INMETRO certification (Ordinance 210/2023).
- Solar charging. About 2,400 kWh a year covers 15,000 km — roughly what a 2 kWp solar system generates in Brazil. Chargers with a solar mode charge only from the inverter's surplus.
