Is the word evidente the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes.

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of the word "evidente" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open and clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels (especially the final "e") are often reduced or nearly silent, and the overall rhythm of the word is more "staccato" or stress-timed.
