National technology, recyclable body, reusable battery and compact design: Brazilian startup develops electric microcar that can transform urban traffic, attract governments and companies and put Brazil on the global clean mobility radar.

Paraná startup launches compact electric vehicle with focusin sustainability and accessibility.

Betting on national technology and green innovation, Movi Electric can transform the urban mobility scenario in Brazil.

The startup Movi Electric, based in Toledo, Paraná, has started assembling electric microcars with a sustainable design and a focus on urban mobility.

With a recyclable battery, modular structure and 100% national production, the model offers a practical and ecological alternative for traffic in Brazilian cities.

The project is already attracting the interest of logistics companies, transport cooperatives and even city councils that aim to integrate clean vehicles into their fleets.

According to recent data from the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE), the electric car market in Brazil grew by more than 70% in the last year, reinforcing the sector's potential.

Smart mobility with Brazilian DNA

Movi Electric was created with the aim of creating an efficient, affordable and environmentally responsible solution to the challenges of urban traffic.

Installed at the Toledo Technology Center, the company developed a microvehicle with capacity for two people and a small cargo compartment.

Compact, lightweight and with a functional design, the microcar reaches up to 60 km/h and has a range of approximately 100 km, ideal for daily commutes such as home-work.

The model serves both individual consumers and small entrepreneurs who need an economical and sustainable means of transport.

The vehicle structure is modular, which facilitates maintenance and reduces repair costs.

The body is made from recyclable materials, reinforcing the commitment to the circular economy.

Furthermore, its reduced size makes it ideal for narrow streets and limited parking spaces, common in urban centers.

Recyclable battery is a differentiator in the sector

One of the biggest advances incorporated into the Movi Electric microcar is the adoption of recyclable modular batteries.

In collaboration with companies specializing in lithium and precious metal recycling, the startup has developed a system that allows the recovery of up to 80% of battery components at the end of their useful life.

This innovation reduces environmental impact and decreases dependence on imported raw materials, promoting greater sustainability in the vehicle's life cycle.

The car also has an energy regeneration system during braking, which increases efficiency and helps extend battery life.

This technology, common in larger electric vehicles, has been successfully adapted for the urban microcar.

According to industry experts, responsible battery management is one of the biggest challenges facing electromobility — and Movi Electric is taking the lead with effective solutions.

National expansion and plans for the future

Initially focused on the regional market, the startup already plans to expand its operations to other regions of Brazil.

The company negotiates partnerships with urban transport cooperatives, mobility app operators and public bodies.

The expectation is to expand the assembly line by 2026 and launch new models with greater autonomy and compatibility with solar energy.

According to Movi Electric, this expansion will allow vehicles to be adapted to different regional realities, from large centers to medium-sized cities.

Furthermore, use in public fleets can contribute to the modernization of essential services such as patrolling, inspection and internal transport in administrative areas.

These partnerships reinforce the role of the microcar as an agent of urban and social transformation.

Sustainability that generates jobs

Movi Electric's growth also drives the development of the so-called green industry.

In addition to helping to reduce carbon emissions in urban centers, the local production of sustainable vehicles creates jobs and boosts the regional economy.

According to ABVE, the electric mobility sector could generate up to 10 new jobs in Brazil by 2030, including areas such as engineering, assembly, recycling and maintenance.

The startup's proposal aligns with a global trend that values ​​local, innovative and conscious solutions.

With investments in research and development, Movi demonstrates that it is possible to combine economic viability and environmental responsibility.

Practical solution for Brazilian cities

Movi’s microcar represents more than just a new means of transport.

It is a direct response to urban traffic bottlenecks, air pollution and the need to rethink the use of space in cities.

With a competitive price, low maintenance costs and zero emissions of polluting gases, the model is an intelligent solution for those seeking efficiency without harming the environment.

By reaching a diverse audience — from individual users to companies and governments — Movi's microcar positions itself as a key piece in the transition to a more sustainable mobility system.

Brazil on the map of clean innovation

The success of the Movi Electric pilot project places Brazil as a protagonist in innovation in electric mobility.

In a sector largely dominated by international manufacturers, the presence of a national startup shows the competitive potential of Brazilian engineering.

With a focus on sustainability, cutting-edge technology and accessibility, Movi Electric proves that the electric revolution can — and should — have a Brazilian accent.

The expectation is that initiatives like this will multiply, expanding access to vehicles clean and consolidating the country as a reference in the urban energy transition.

Final considerations

Movi Electric not only offers a new product to the market, but proposes a change in mindset about how we move around cities.

Your microcar recyclable, efficient and completely national, it is an example that innovation can — and must — be at the service of people and the planet.

With public and private support, the future of urban mobility in Brazil can be cleaner, smarter and more accessible.

It is a very welcome solution. It remains to be seen whether they will not want to sell it at the exorbitant prices that are seen in the innovations that emerge. I think that the government should encourage and protect this startup so that it does not suffer persecution and boycotts from the big automobile industries, as always happens when someone comes up with a solution like this.
