With that in mind, Detroit-based Vehya says it has opened a subsidiary and is exploring the country's opportunities and preparing for the market boom.

"Brazil just reached 100,000 EVs on the road, and Vehya is here to support the country to scale up faster in the coming years with a streamlined platform for installation and service of EV infrastructure," said Wiliam McCoy, Vehya CEO and co-founder. 

Founded in 2020, Vehya is an electric vehicle industry digital platform providing installation and maintenance solutions for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). The company’s platform provides AI-driven technology to ensure that the electrification of things is on time, on budget, and adequately serviced. With over 400,000 electricians on the network, 20,000 EVITP-certified and more joining Vehya's platform daily, it provides complete coverage for all major cities in the US and Canada.

The focus of the expansion will be on the infrastructure of EV chargers. Vehya has already become a member of the Brazilian Association of Electrical Vehicles - ABVE. "The electric vehicle market in Brazil is growing and offers countless opportunities for entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and services, such as Vehya,” says Gustavo Tanure, board member and director of infrastructure at ABVE, and CEO of EzVolt. 

He added that ABVE believes Vehya will be able to contribute to the maturation of Brazil’s market, especially with its technology to scale up the electrification processes and competence in personnel training and maintenance of electric chargers.
