Description

GURGEL ITAIPU E-150/II - 1974 Breaking down all the technological barriers of the past, the launch of the first Brazilian electric car surpassed all expectations. In 1973 we had an oil crisis, with shortages and high fuel prices. A great time to present an electric model. Its name came from a tribute to the hydroelectric plant on the border of Brazil and Paraguay. In that same year, the founder of the national automaker Gurgel Motors S/A, João Augusto Conrado do Amaral Gurgel, presented Itaipu, the first electric car in Latin America. With capacity for only two seats and a geometric design, the Itaipu E-150 weighed 460 kg, 320 kg of which were just the batteries. At that time, the little electric car suffered problems that, in a way, are still very current for EVs, such as: low autonomy, recharge time and the weight of the batteries. As a prototype at the time, the E-150 was discontinued and the 27 units manufactured were turned into collector's items.
