Abstract
The transition from fossil-fuel cars to those powered by electricity seems to occur differently in Brazil compared with what has been observed in other countries, where it is motivated by the goal to reduce CO2 emissions and the need to reduce dependence on fossil-fuel imports. At present, fleets are reduced, values are high, and the infrastructure is incipient. This article presents a problematization of the local scenario and the results of a survey with local consumers. The goal is to determine whether this market tends towards a scenario where an electric car is perceived as a substitute for a fossil-fuel vehicle, with new technology but the same function (transportation) or if it tends towards a reinterpretation, seeing integration with the electricity grid. The results indicate gaps and opportunities in service design, public policies for smart cities, and new ICTs associated with smart grids.

Resolution 819/2019 of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) [4] regarding the procedures and conditions for the accomplishment of activities to recharge EVs, which allows for the accomplishment of these activities, including commercial exploration at freely negotiated prices; in this way, spaces are created for new market opportunities
A thorough examination was made of the academic research on electric vehicles and official Brazilian reports related to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the electric energy production chain
Summary
“Essential renewable energy applications in smart city development are for green buildings (GBs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Limited resources of fossil fuels and an increase in demand for electricity have renewed interests in integrating. Some benefits can be immediately associated with EVs and, electric cars, such as greater efficiency of the electric motor; reductions in global and local pollution; noise reduction in large cities; reductions in pollution-related health problems in large centers, such as respiratory problems; the possibility of being integrated into the grid; and the possibility of new business models. Resolution 819/2019 of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) [4] regarding the procedures and conditions for the accomplishment of activities to recharge EVs, which allows for the accomplishment of these activities, including commercial exploration at freely negotiated prices; in this way, spaces are created for new market opportunities
