Search For Electric Vehicle Rentals Increased 30% Just In The Last Three Months At Osten Go, One Of The Main Automotive Groups In The Premium Segment In Brazil.

It may be mere coincidence, but the surge in gasoline and diesel prices may have influenced the decision of Brazilians to adopt electric cars. According to data from the Brazilian Association of Electric Vehicles (ABVE), electric car sales surged and grew by 47% in the first half of this year, compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the rental of these vehicles increased by 30% in just the last three months.

Osten Go, a company of Osten Group, one of the main automotive groups in the premium segment in the country, saw this growth reflected in its business. According to Liandra Boschiero, manager of Osten Go, in the last three months, the company recorded a 30% increase in the search for electric vehicle rentals.

With such success, the company is launching carsharing (hourly car rental) for the Mini Cooper S Top Electric and BMW I3 models in the hourly rental model (carsharing), at a rate of R$ 120.00/hour.

Customers Can Rent Electric Cars For As Long As They Wish

Customers can use the vehicle for as long as they wish through the Osten GO Carsharing app, unlocking it through the app itself, without the need for a key, providing freedom and access to new formats of car use.

“We know that carsharing optimizes resources, and in this version, it is a mobility solution that aims to provide customers with the opportunity to experience their commutes with an experience, which is why this initiative arose as a way to offer this type of service within the special and premium category, also providing the knowledge of the models in their routine that can lead to Subscription or Purchase of the vehicle, specifically for 100% electric vehicles to become an entry point for those who wish to better understand the dynamics of everyday life with an electric vehicle, in order to accelerate the adoption of this new, more sustainable category,” says the executive.

Tesla Available For Immediate Delivery

Those who want the experience of owning an electric car no longer have to wait months for it or be vulnerable to currency volatility. Osten Group offers several Tesla models for immediate delivery, such as the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has the fastest acceleration in the world, and the Model 3 Standard. Both models can be purchased for R$ 1,590,000.00 and R$ 590,000.00, respectively.
