Power2Drive South America: Driving the Future of E-Mobility and Charging Infrastructure in Brazil

Power2Drive South America – LATAM’s key exhibition and conference for charging infrastructure and e-mobility – stands at the forefront of the continent’s transition toward a sustainable transportation future. Held annually in August at São Paulo’s Expo Center Norte, this influential trade fair is not merely an exhibition of products and technologies. It is a dynamic meeting point for visionaries, engineers, energy experts, and policy leaders who are shaping the future of e-mobility and smart energy integration in Brazil and across Latin America.

At the core of Power2Drive South America lies a simple but powerful idea: “Power to drive” means power from renewable sources fueling sustainable, intelligent mobility solutions. As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure, and storage systems accelerates, this event delivers not only insight but also action — uniting key players from across the value chain in one focused, impactful forum.

A Comprehensive Platform for Innovation and Collaboration

Each year, Power2Drive South America brings together leading manufacturers, solution providers, investors, and policymakers to explore the latest advancements in EV charging, battery technologies, vehicle electrification, and renewable energy integration. Organized by Aranda Eventos & Congressos Ltda, in cooperation with Solar Promotion International GmbH and Freiburg Management and Marketing International GmbH, the event leverages global expertise to address local and regional opportunities.

Central Themes and Offerings:

High-power and megawatt charging technologies

Charging stations for residential, commercial, and public use

Advanced software for charging management and energy optimization

Payment and authentication systems for EV charging

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications

Smart grid integration and load balancing solutions

Mobile storage and PV (photovoltaic) charging stations

The expo reflects Brazil’s growing commitment to clean energy and mobility, while also serving as a launchpad for global innovation in a uniquely Latin American context.

Brazil’s Role in the Sustainable Mobility Landscape

Brazil is emerging as a critical player in the global transition to electric transportation, thanks to its combination of renewable energy capacity, industrial infrastructure, and strategic investment in e-mobility. The government’s support for clean energy and transport policies, coupled with a growing consumer shift toward sustainability, sets the stage for rapid transformation.

Power2Drive South America leverages this momentum, providing a space for the integration of Brazil’s automotive sector with global clean energy trends. The event emphasizes local opportunities within a global framework, from manufacturing EV components to installing nationwide charging networks and energy storage systems.
