Olinia aims to provide affordable electric vehicle solutions in the Mexican market with its Uno and Carga models. The Uno is designed for everyday passenger transport, featuring a quiet electric motor, a durable LFP battery, and a top speed of 50 km/h. It boasts a range of over 100 km on a full charge, which takes 4-8 hours depending on the charger. The vehicle can accommodate six passengers, including space for individuals in wheelchairs, and comes equipped with modern amenities like a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and electric windows.
The manufacturer estimates monthly savings between $408 and $1,140 for users driving 20 km daily, highlighting the economic benefits of electric mobility. The Uno also includes safety and convenience features such as LED headlights, a backup camera, and six seatbelts.
For commercial use, Olinia offers the Carga model, which was presented in August. This vehicle is specifically built for transporting goods, with a capacity of up to 650 kg. It shares the same electric motor and battery technology as the Uno, offering a similar charging time and a slightly longer urban range of over 120 km.
The Carga model's cabin is designed for the driver and one passenger, prioritizing cargo space. It comes in three variants: Pick-up, for quick loading and unloading; Van, for enclosed transport; and Chasis, for custom adaptations. Both models emphasize safety and practicality, featuring LED headlights, backup cameras, and closed cabins.
