Given Brazil's huge hydro power resources and it's huge solar potential, ethanol based plug-in hybrids with smaller (hence less expensive) batteries could be a great way to move off petroleum fuels while also minimizing the use of ethanol.
Of course that might be a hard sell given the importance of the ethanol production industry in the economy.
But it might be a good strategy for countries that don't yet have the purchasing power to support a market for pure EVs.
