“As president of Honda Energy I wouldn't like to have just this one wind farm,” Carlos Eiji, chief executive of Honda Brazil's power arm, Honda Energy, tells Recharge.

He says the idea would be to supply power directly to a new car assembly plant in São Paulo state – of about the same size as the Sumaré plant that is using wind power from Xangri-lá – and the company's unit in the Amazon state capital of Manaus, where Honda assembles motorcycles.
