The electric vehicles do not produce atmospheric or acoustic contamination, in addition the inversion for energy load in the country is minimum: Bs 2.80 per 60 km. Quantum is a testament to the advancement of electromobility technologies in Bolivia.
In times of crisis, make 60 km journeys in a car with a combustion engine at Bs 2.80 impossible, but for the electric vehicles high in Bolivia is a reality, as in the Reason Quantum cofounder, Carlos Soruco
“These cars do not have many pieces of gas as combustion. Do not use gasoline, do not change the filter or filter. It’s a single vehicle that comes with a one-year safe and a costly renovation of $ 100.
RETOS
Since the start of its operations, in September 2019, this cochabamina company has undergone various difficulties. Hablamas of the crisis generated by the socio-political conflicts has the quarantines applied in the country over the COVID-19 pandemic this year. Its production and area of commercialization will be paralyzed, but it will be sold in advance.
“In the middle of all this, we are trying to obtain import permits for batteries containing sulfuric acid and with the change of authorities complicating the situation. By 2020, we will not have ten continuous months of tranquility, ”he said.
Respect for the price, this type of vehicle can be purchased from $ 5,450, a cost that differs in the automobile and combustion market. Without embargo, the number of passengers that can carry two to three people, according to the model.
The automotive electric industry is growing at a global level and it is hoped that by 2025 more than 68 million vehicles of this type will be circulating (between hybrids, semi-hybrids and totally electric).
Due to the economic crisis, Industrias Quantum Motors sold 300 electric cars, as well as 400 motors that together with “torites” in electric bicycles of the Yadea brand, are part of the offer of this company.
Its main markets are concentrated in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and La Paz. The company also mired the Latin American market for its expansion.
“This is a year of expansion, we are preparing our fronts to travel to El Salvador, Paraguay and Peru. The pandemic has led to an economic crisis and nothing more economic than moving our cars or our motorcycles. The source of the pandemic is that the people have a conscientious and economical conscience, ”said Soruco.
In Bolivia, in addition to Quantum, the importer Crown also offers electric cars. The main promotional vehicle is BYD (Build Your Dreams) of Chinese origin, which for the last few years has sold its sales all over the world. The Chinese manufacturer has been trading for over one million million units.
TENDENCY
Quantum will use 100% lithium batteries in its vehicles. “We have batteries of the industrial acid plum industry. With the Bolivian Litigation Services (YLB) we will establish an interinstitutional cooperation agreement that will strengthen the production of 100% Bolivian electric vehicles “, anticipates the founder of this industry.
In agreement with international reports, Norway is set to become the world’s leading commercial vehicle in 2020, combining electric cars with combustion engines. In the middle of the pandemic, in the Nordic countries 141,412 engines are sold, of which 54.3% are electric.
It is advancing in electromovilidity as well as having tax incentives imposed by the Norwegian Government, ahead of taxes levied on cars with combustion engines.
Lithium, key for the battery of these vehicles
Tesla is the state-of-the-art company that will sell in 2020 the mayor’s cantidad of electric cars at world level. The lithium is the main component of the batteries that drive electromovilability technologies.
Follow the portal Statista, on September 22, 2020, Tesla celebrated its annual shareholders’ meeting, following the live broadcast of the “Battery day” event.
Through a presentation, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, demonstrated some of the company’s ultimate advances in battery materials for electric vehicles and revealed some details of its plans for the future.
Meanwhile, there is the development of a new generation of batteries that will allow the production of an electric vehicle of $ 25,000, just as it has its most inexpensive cars in public. The ion lithium is the main technology that is used in batteries for electric cars at the international and local level.
ESK Consulting projects a new site at the request of this resource between 2018 and 2025 with a total capacity of 700,000 GWh.
A weight factor in the world of electric cars is the key in the price of ion lithium batteries, which dominate the market in the last few years.
Follow the gate Statista, the price of this type of battery has passed $ 1,100 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in 2010 to $ us 156 in 2019 (-87%) and it is hoped that in 2024 it will reach $ 100 100.
Accordance with world-level specialists, this type of battery is characterized by its energy density, in addition to being able to duplicate its life with respect to other technologies thought for electric mobility.
The news agency Bloomberg signal that the global demand for lithium will exceed the 10 million metric tons by 2030, 700,000 tons will be produced at the end. This production is concentrated in two points: the “triangle of the lithium” (Argentina, Chile and Bolivia). The other enclave is Australia. Agreed with U.S. Geological Survey, Bolivia is the country with the most reserves all over the world.
SALES
As observed in the infographic, the sales of electric vehicles of battery battery 1.7 million units in 2019. According to the dates of EV volumes, Asia and Oceania have side impulses for the sale of these vehicles; Europe itself, which sells 388,000 units, with which logos will surpass the sales in North America.
Although the United States and Canada are the countries with the most sales of electric vehicles on the continent, Latin America has been paying close attention to the evolution of electric mobility on the planet, with various countries in the region incorporating progressive options.
