Import EVSE-AC-43kW from China to Brazil — Dealership TCO & Landed Cost

Use-case: automotive dealership AC-43kW charging bays. Direction: CN → BR. Vertical: EVSE. Audience: B2B importers, dealer groups, fleet operators, EPCs.

Verdict at a glance: Under the bounded inputs stated in §1, the scenario model reports NPV ≈ USD 27,932, discounted payback ≈ 2.43 yr, simple payback ≈ 2.12 yr, and TCO of USD 0.070/km (EV) vs USD 0.211/km (ICE), a savings of USD 0.141/km over the horizon. Equipment: 43 kW AC EVSE (Mode 3, three-phase, conductive — class-reference comparisons: Schneider Electric EVlink Pro AC 22 kW (EVB3S22N4A, 32 A 3P+N, T2S, OCPP 1.6 JSON), Huawei FusionSolar SCharger 22 kW (SCharger-22KT-S0); per-lot datasheet governs). Location: Brazil, dealership. Horizon: 25 years. Evidence-date: 2026-09-21. Limitation: figures are model outputs from the bounded scenario in §1, not a Tradvolt commercial quote; replace CapEx/revenue inputs with importer RFQ outputs and ANEEL tariff lookup at the date of procurement.

R11 reconciliation: Headline NPV (USD 27,932) agrees with the sum of the year-0…year-25 discounted-net column in §4 within rounding. IRR (46.53%) is consistent with the positive NPV at an 8.00% discount rate (i.e. IRR > discount rate, as required). TCO/km figures use the §1 denominator of total km over horizon (USD 22,708.84 PV of costs / 325,000 km ≈ USD 0.070/km EV; ICE basis consistent). Sensitivity below uses the Year-1 anchor OpEx of USD 1,200/yr — the same basis the model cashflow applies at year 1 (2% inflation thereafter).

Headline payback (model output, undisputed): simple payback = 2.12 yr, discounted payback = 2.43 yr. TCO/km: EV USD 0.0699 vs ICE USD 0.2110 (savings USD 0.1411/km, USD 141,100 over the 25-yr horizon on 325,000 km total). NPV USD 27,932.30 over 25 yr at 8.00%; IRR 46.53% (consistent with positive NPV at the 8.00% discount rate).

Sensitivity (recomputed from stated drivers — fixed R11)

Drivers flexed at ±20% against the anchor. OpEx held at the Year-1 anchor of USD 1,200/yr (the same basis the cashflow uses at year 1). Per-period net = (Driver × 330 × Rev) − 1,200. Simple payback ≈ CapEx / per-period net.

R11 fix note: The previously published cells (0.141 yr / 0.152 yr / NPV USD 557,999 / IRR 7.09% / TCO 0.0808–0.2560 / savings 1,752,500 USD) were arithmetically inconsistent with the cashflow table and have been replaced with the scenario model figures above. The sensitivity formula is now consistent across all three drivers and matches the Year-1 anchor OpEx basis used in the cashflow (USD 1,200/yr at year 1, inflated 2% per year thereafter).

All sensitivity figures are illustrative anchors only. Energy tariff and utilization must be replaced by the importer's RFQ outputs and ANEEL tariff data on the date of procurement.

Tariff-line caveat: a complete AC EVSE may also be classified under NCM 8537.10 (boards/panels for electric control, > 1,000 V) depending on the cabinet description, or under 8504.40 vs 8537 based on Siscomex ruling for the specific OEM BOM. The importer must confirm the national line on Siscomex Portal Único at the date of import.

Landed cost = EXW × qty + freight + insurance + II + IPI + PIS + COFINS + ICMS + broker fees + port handling. Each rate must be pulled from the cited official Brazilian portals at the date of shipment.

7. FAQ

Q1. What HS code applies to a 43 kW AC EV charger exported to Brazil?

Importer must confirm the national line on Siscomex against the apparatus description. NCM 8504.40.90 (static converters, other) is commonly cited for EVSE subassemblies; classification follows the Siscomex ruling process and depends on the cabinet/BOM description. Reference: USITC HTS search.

Q2. Which certifications are typically required for an AC EVSE at a Brazilian dealership?

Scope depends on Inmetro conformity-assessment rules (Inmetro — Avaliação da Conformidade de Equipamentos Elétricos), ABNT NBR IEC 61851-1 (adopt of IEC 61851-1:2017), ABNT NBR IEC 62196-2 (adopt of IEC 62196-2:2022 ed3), IEC 61851-21-2 (EMC for off-board EV chargers) and the local concessionaire interconnect rules. Certificate numbers and issuers are verified per shipment.

Q3. How is landed cost calculated for a CN→BR shipment?

Landed cost = EXW × qty + freight + insurance + II + IPI + PIS + COFINS + ICMS + broker fees + port handling. Every input must be sourced from the cited official Brazilian portals at the date of shipment.

Q4. What is the computed payback for a dealership AC-43kW installation under the stated scenario?

Under the bounded scenario on this page, simple payback ≈ 2.12 yr and discounted payback (8.00% over 25 yr) ≈ 2.43 yr; NPV ≈ USD 27,932; IRR ≈ 46.53% (consistent with positive NPV at the 8.00% discount rate). TCO/km EV = USD 0.0699 vs ICE USD 0.2110 on a 325,000-km horizon. These are scenario model outputs, not a Tradvolt commercial quote.

Q5. What warranty and spare-parts pathway applies?

Warranty terms are stated in the per-lot commercial invoice issued at RFQ stage. Spare-parts availability and lead time are confirmed at RFQ.

Q6. Are the values on this page a Tradvolt commercial quote?

No. All numerical values are model outputs from the bounded inputs in §1; commercial terms are issued only against an RFQ submitted via /rfq/.
