According to the statement from Startup Lupa, the new Uruguayan factory will serve the entire Latin American market, focusing on Mercosur countries (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay).

It is worth highlighting that the neighboring country is part of the select group of countries that have 100% energy supply from renewable sources.

The schedule of Startup Lupa plans for the factory, which will have a maximum capacity of 20,000 electric cars per year, to start assembling the first electric cars in 2024 – it will be a flexible, connected, and carbon-neutral plant from the start of production.

Lupa Motors Looking for Investors in Brazil

The CEO of the electric car startup Lupa Motors, Carlos Álvarez Córdoba, stated that the company’s models will be produced on a purchased platform, so to speak. As development costs are very high, they will use the general base of a brand, such as the electric base that VW is developing to sell to other companies.

To support the project, which includes a modern and efficient factory in Spain, Lupa Motors is looking for investors in Spain, the United States, and also Brazil, to move the company’s project forward. For now, Córdoba states that there are no state subsidies for his company and says he does not depend on that.

The company emphasizes that the E26 will have the differentiating factor of removable batteries. Thus, it will be possible to swap the pack or sell the car without the batteries to a second owner. The company also wants to invest in the home battery sector.
