or live under severe punishment for these law mccree, she murders having threatened the around with severe consequences. gemini is now under scrutiny as to what it will do next. that's all the news for now. business is next. i with the sometimes to be shown right. how that you out to the highlight for every week. not the model. if you like history, but with the side of culture, travel and control the sea. i'm racist through it and i'm based in a book us that will put the wow santa back into your everyday life. every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice that they just go straight into the background, but it is still showing a spotlight on them. what you say might just surprise. we're gonna dig up the,

the on the everyday things around. where did they come from when? why did they have all the time? i should, we can just search for the day and take them out for the our costa rica and brazil in the fast lane when it comes to mobility. brazil is latin, america's largest electric vehicle market. now, after years in the fast lane resilience, cities are looking to have a board to buy, electrifying their city bus fleets. meanwhile, sets of laws from the last decade or hoping to show that we're moving economic barriers in costa rica could be the power that the small country needs when it comes to wrapping up its battery. electric engines, costa rica is a small country in latin america. we'll talk more about how that country increased the electric vehicle up taking a moment. but 1st, i want to show you one of the rarest cars in costa rica. a

converted electric car used to be a petrol vehicle before being converted by these 2 started up founders, the cesar gonzales. so this and emanuel castro. besides showing that a conversion like this is possible. the co founders, other goal, is making the case that conversions of existing fleets for companies or utilities makes economic sense. they say converting to be cheaper than buying a new e v. a would have to be mean we'd reduce price is, puts us in the sector of the market where there are people who may not be able to buy a new vehicle, but they can up for a converted electric vehicle. baker, electrical, convert to as current, easy as themselves. the goal was to allow people to freedom to renew the vehicles they already have. but the pair say it's difficult to do these conversions and takes time of your mom and i kind of version can take about 3 or 4 months depending

on the vehicle how complex it is, all like weight distribution and design that we have to do. so it's a whole study sourcing parts to fit the custom builders is also an issue, but the co founders hope that by showing off the handful of cars that they've already converted over the last year and a half, including the yellow many cars are we saw earlier that they can convince companies in cities to convert their existing fleets instead of fine new. this is one of the thing, it's a fraction of the price thing. if you compare cars like the mini cooper, the customer around $13000.00 when i let them know and many that come straight out of the factory right now, that costs between $50.00 and $60000.00 here. and then when the converting existing petrol car is at the fully electric ones is just one innovation. but back to those laws we told you about earlier. the way the long works is there are 4 different price brackets that each have different discounts. a car like this one gets 100 percent. if it's general sales,

excise and customs value tax waived. that's because there's really geometry see starts at $27900.00 us deep, but 0 percent of those taxes get waived for values above $60000.00. like for this car, the alexis, r z for 50 e, which falls into that most expensive bracket. the values between those 2 categories receive stagger productions. this is part of the costa rican government attempts to remove financial barriers to make buying new electric vehicles more appealing in well, that's one of them. we know other countries have some restrictions or more taxes on combustion vehicles. and punish that decision to purchase one. not in cost, sorry, cost you. it was for the couple. yeah, no. this is sylvia rojas, she's the president of the latin american association for sustainable mobility. other perks include free parking in some areas and waving annual road permit fees. but how well is it worked? reportedly coaster because market share of electric vehicles is high. we had trouble confirming official figures,

but one trade magazine. our tech says the electric vehicle market share. there is high in 2022 between 7.3 and 7.5 percent. compare that to official figures from canada, the us columbia, and brazil. for the same here. with the law passed in 2018 revenue as in costa rica from the electric vehicle market with nearly 14000000 usd. but the markets rising as to just a market insights estimate. it will be worth 321000000 by 2028 small compared to some of its neighbors. true, but not bad for a country like costa rica. but as the case here shows, there are plenty of people who can't afford or don't want to buy their own eaves. so how do we electrified their transport, the to enter the humble bus? just a few kilometers outside of sao paulo is

a production site for the company, a late draft. this brazilian company has been making electric, trolley buses for decades, but in recent years they added 100 percent electric battery buses to their catalogue. these buses are already on the streets of the neighboring megacity sell palo muslims like it is. we have 85 percent of the pure electric market. that's how you get all of the era, the executive director of a lead trip. she can join us on site. so we hopped on a call, she knows the bosses are company produces are more expensive, so the initial investment has to be worth it for city officials in the long run. if we put buses that costs $3.00 times more, then these are the buses and they last less than 15 years, we would undermine the transport system not only in brazil, but in that in america. these buses must last at least 15 years in the system who will sustain up making sure buses last is critical here. and so how low

for the city band to the purchase of new petro power buses in 2022. and then once it gets on and so paulo the public transport system is composed of $12000.00 vehicles that run daily all over the city. they transport an average of 7000000 passengers. parents for comparison, has just over 2000000 residents and 4700 public buses. and earned the title is bescedy in europe for public transport last year. but in south how low, which is 15 times the size of the front, the city of lights, and with nearly 6 times as many people, buses are a major part of the transportation network. it's going to be a heavy lift to meet the emissions goal of increasing it's the fleet to 20 percent . reducing noise pollution or additional benefits. the hitting national targets to reduce c o. 2 in line with the parents climate accord is a factor and brazil,

like many latin american nations, has a relatively green electricity grid america. latina in latin america, 65 percent of electricity comes from green and renewable sources for different allowing this address for a boy though, is the executive secretary of a latin american energy organization. i used to 3rd countries where renewables to account for nearly 100 percent of electricity, paraguay, uruguay, and its some hours of the day to let you know what ahold of the many of the countries in this region have large hydro projects and other green energy sources all contributing to a cleaner energy matrix, making the switch to electric vehicles more impactful. but this is not a simple swap over for one electric buses or more expensive. the full full name will do think anything. it has the initial investment cost. and that's precisely because of the

new technology, because i'm over at technology. before the pandemic miranda estimates the initial investment was twice as much as a petrol bus. now folks are bothered to but we have observed that the battery electric vehicle was costing 3 times more than a traditional diesel vehicle. he adds that new technology has also met adoption bottlenecks. as infrastructure like electric charging garages have to be installed . baltimore, she's there has to be all the necessary logistics because today the logistics of diesel is much more consolidated as to because the garage is that where a great volume of fuel is consumed, caught by each of the buses today, the garage itself, the concession and company itself, they have their own pass in tanks, the large distributors, buy and sell them all, but oh yeah, i bought this tooth clubs, the cost and infrastructure. these are also problems faced by customers when buying

personal vehicles around the world beyond transport. the entire city ecosystem has to be prepared well later, a claims that has big market share and electric buses. in brazil, they're not the only players in the game. b, y, d, a well known personal email. you stature also produces electric buses and they're now going hard on expansion into latin america. meanwhile, mercedes benz is actually doing business with the late tra, where they are producing electric bus chassis like these in brazil for companies like a later and others. the company says it already has $250.00 cha sees circulating itself, although we believe it's just a kid off the bus. that's a heem who shared. he's the president at mercedes benz, brazil, and the ceo of mercedes benz latin america. so we see a stronger need in public transportation and be expected also a year and that's an american out to grow. so you can see it was 2030 and i think

in general, you understand, look was on bus. you can capture 50 cars, while the personal ag market relies heavily on imports appreciate says increasing domestic production for electric buses will be important. i think it's a great opportunity though that maybe is missed at the moment because if you have some natural resources that allow hydrogen production or if you're thing, regions for you like for instance, actions you know, to, but that's a reproduction of easy that could also stimulated with low feet and the end of the for the you don't watch and to, you know, they're not when you're in part of the components of the vehicles. but you should rather see that he would do better open open industry and then utilize the natural resources in the countries. just like with personal electric vehicles, increasing domestic solutions is seen as critical for the future production of the

buses. so our costa rica and brazil, and the fast lane when it comes to e mobility, government policy and costa rica is one contributing factor to an uptake in the purchasing well. startups like electro convergeone, as it goes to rico hope that they can push a different bracket of car owner to be able to sport green license plates like these. meanwhile, mega cities and brazil are investing more and electric buses, which capitalize on rich and diverse green energy sources. but even though the speed is picking up the road is along one the thinking as a network thing, as one show about vision range and the project,
