New And Used Models Start To Emerge In The National Market For Prices Below R$ 100 Thousand, Opening Space For Those Seeking To Enter The Universe Of Electrics With Lower Initial Investment.

Finding electric car for less than R$ 100 thousand is still an exception in the country. Today, among the 0 km vehicles, the Renault Kwid E-Tech occupies this space, priced at R$ 99,990.

The other options reach this range in the used car market, a phenomenon linked to the typical devaluation of the first years and the entry of more competitive models.

Below, five options that can be found up to this ceiling, with data on range (Inmetro), battery, and dimensions to guide the choice.

Renault Kwid E-Tech: Cheapest 0 Km Electric Car

Imported from China and sold in the Intense configuration, the Kwid E-Tech is currently the cheapest new electric vehicle in Brazil, with a suggested retail price of R$ 99,990.

The setup delivers 65 hp and 11.5 kgfm, powered by a 26.8 kWh battery. The official range certified by Inmetro is 185 km.

In performance, it achieves 0 to 100 km/h in 14.6 s and reaches 130 km/h. Due to its size, it is a subcompact: 3.73 m in length, 2.42 m in wheelbase, and 290 liters of trunk space.

Charging accepts AC up to 7.4 kW and DC up to 30 kW, with usual times from 15% to 80% taking mere minutes on fast charging.

BYD Dolphin Mini: Used Hatch Below R$ 100 Thousand

The Dolphin Mini, a leader among electrics in various markets, has started to appear in classifieds for prices close to or slightly below R$ 100 thousand, depending on year, version, and mileage.

In recent reference, the Fipe Table for the base configuration hovers around R$ 106.6 thousand. Still, specific ads may be listed below this in the real market.

Launched in 2024, the hatch features a 75 hp motor and 13.8 kgfm, an LFP battery of 38 kWh, and a range of 280 km (Inmetro).

It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 14.9 s, measures 3.78 m in length, has a 2.50 m wheelbase, and offers 230 liters in the trunk. Charging works at 6.6 kW (AC) and up to 40 kW (DC).

In 2025, the model gained a five-seat version; the cheaper units tend to be the four-seat versions from the early batches.

Nissan Leaf: Classic Among Electrics

An icon of electrics, the Nissan Leaf was no longer officially imported in 2024, which increased the supply of used cars at more aggressive prices.

There are already ads for 2022 models listed around R$ 99 thousand, a value below the average of the Fipe Table for the year.

The midsize hatch uses a 149 hp motor and 32.6 kgfm, with a 40 kWh battery and range of 273 km (Inmetro).

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 s highlights its good performance. In dimensions, it has 4.48 m in length and 2.70 m in wheelbase, with 435 liters in the trunk.

For those seeking interior space and a more comfortable ride, the Leaf remains a solid option in the used electric market.

JAC E-JS1: Affordable Option In The Fipe Table

Among the models that appear in the Fipe below R$ 100 thousand, the JAC E-JS1 2023 stands out: the most recent reference indicates a value around R$ 86 thousand.

Designed for urban use, it features a 62 hp motor and 15.3 kgfm, a 30.2 kWh battery, and a range of 161 km (Inmetro).

With 3.65 m in length and 2.39 m in wheelbase, it prioritizes maneuverability and efficiency. The trunk has 121 liters.

For charging, it works with AC and DC, generally with times shorter than those of combustion compact cars during nighttime recharge routines at an outlet or wallbox.

Due to its pricing and cost of use, it is often a competitive entry point for electric mobility.

Caoa Chery iCar EQ1: Compact With Independent Suspension

Another pioneer among urban electrics, the Caoa Chery iCar EQ1 was no longer imported in 2023, but remains present in classifieds for less than R$ 100 thousand. In the Fipe 2023, the usual reference for the hatch is around R$ 88,266.

The setup uses a 61 hp motor and 15.3 kgfm, a 30.8 kWh battery, and a declared range of 197 km.

The iCar is a two-door subcompact, measuring 3.20 m in length, 2.15 m in wheelbase, and featuring a 100-liter trunk.

A technical differentiator is the independent suspension on all four wheels, a rare feature in the segment that enhances comfort on uneven surfaces.

For short trips and tight garages, it is an alternative that maximizes compactness without sacrificing equipment.

What To Evaluate Before Purchase

Despite the appeal of the price, it’s advisable to assess the usage history, battery condition, and compatible charging type of each unit.

In electrics, the range variation with climate, terrain, and driving style is part of normal use.

Therefore, the Inmetro label serves as a standardized reference, not as a fixed guarantee.

Checking the cable, adapters, and connector standard also prevents surprises in recharge routines.

For those looking for their first electric vehicle, the Kwid E-Tech 0 km remains a shortcut to avoid uncertainty regarding history.

Already, Dolphin Mini and Leaf emerge as used options with good cost-benefit when the goal is more range or more space.

E-JS1 and iCar are essentially urban choices, prioritizing compact size and low cost per kilometer.

Which of these profiles best meets your daily use — greater range for intermunicipal travel, family space, or extreme compactness for the city?

What To Evaluate Before Purchase

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
