All representatives assembled and discussed the future of electric cars. In consideration of the National vehicle supply situation, it was agreeable that the implementation of ethanol hybrids would be essential to secure the supplies of the electric vehicles. Early adopters who use electric vehicles on a daily basis also shared their experiences.

Adding on, they discussed how the extraction of the raw material to meet the increasing demand for the use of battery manufacturing demonstrates the influence on the country’s economic activity. This topic was especially noteworthy highlighting the fact the event was held in Minas Gerais, an area significant for their mining activities. All delegates emphasized the need to encourage national industries and the preservation of jobs.

Moreover, business representatives of the Brazilian electric system discussed Brazil's energy supply scenario, installed capacity, investment in power generation and distribution system based on the National Integrated system (SIN) and further confirmed that the country has the ability to consistently supply electricity without experiencing the risk of power outage.

Finally, it was important to keep in mind that in a consumer’s point of view it also has to be financially approachable. Delegates advocated that the prices should be reduced based on cheaper batteries, predicting that in 5 years, electric cars would be worth as much as conventional cars and mechanical assembly would be replaced by electric assembly.

Overall, for the development of the E-Mobility industry, it is important to induce stronger bonds by cooperating with countries where the industry is active on a national level. Through this event, PCN Group and PCN Latam set a goal to further develop the E-mobility industry in Brazil.
