“Brazilian Tesla” Partners with iFood to Increase the Use of Electric Cars and Motorcycles by Deliverers

In 2017, Renato Villar, recognizing the need for low-cost electric vehicles in the Brazilian market, founded Voltz, the “Brazilian Tesla,” and partnered with iFood to sell electric motorcycles priced between R$ 11,500 and R$ 20,500. The global trend towards electrification is driven by the American Tesla, led by billionaire Elon Musk. However, electric cars from the automaker currently reach values of R$ 1 million in the Brazilian market. Even Tesla does not sell electric motorcycles, as the company focuses its business on cars.

About Voltz

Founded in 2013, Voltz originated as a parts supplier for motorcycles. Considering the trend of people seeking urban mobility, the company’s initial focus was on scooters for individuals traveling short distances daily. By late 2019, Voltz had developed an interesting model that met the needs of Brazilian transportation.

The product had a good range and a battery that could be charged at home. When sales began, the company noticed that the market was more ready than expected and that it was larger than previously anticipated.

Online, customers searched more for the street model, so the company began to focus on this model, which represents 50% of the motorcycle fleet in Brazil.
