ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
Chinese automakers BYD and GWM, which now import electric cars for sale in Brazil, are among the main players in the local electrified car market and have already announced plans to start manufacturing in the country.
Traditional U.S. and European automakers have fallen behind their Chinese rivals in the local EV market, although firms including General Motors and Stellantis have already unveiled plans to launch hybrid-flex vehicles, which can run on 100% ethanol or gasoline alongside batteries, in Brazil.
