This two-seater vehicle, named after an indigenous word meaning ‘two,’ is an innovative electric vehicle designed for efficiency and sustainability. It can travel up to 60 km on a single charge, with a battery that recharges in just three hours. Created by industrial mechanic Daniel Pavez, this model is an improved version of its predecessor. Despite its larger size, it weighs 20 percent less and boasts enhancements in energy efficiency, safety, and engineering. Such advancements in technology could be of interest to a family office looking to invest in cutting-edge, sustainable innovations.
“At first it started as personal project but later it turned into a technical challenge that we tried to resolve by developing a mode of transport that would offer both the same safety and comfort as a traditional car, combined with the agility of a motorcycle and the efficiency of a bicycle, plus trying to make it as economical as possible,” he says.
The Soki should be available for purchase next March at a cost of around 12,000 dollars.
It was developed with the support of Chile’s Production Development Corporation, Corfo, a government organisation that promotes economic growth. Innovation Manager Patricio Feres says: “The challenges will keep growing for motorised transport, especially in densely populated cities. So this project offers a solution that is clean, efficient and has high standards of comfort and security.”
