The electric car appears to be an irreversible trend, but its price still scares away most consumers. Also, new technologies always take a while to catch on to popular taste.
However, the so-called electric “microcars” are becoming more and more present in the world market, especially outside Brazil. This type of electric car offers more practicality and economy for the day to day of big cities.

The British startup Ark bets on this concept by launching the Ark Zero. The small car can take two people and a pet with peace of mind and comfort. The most interesting thing is that its price is very attractive.
Small size electric car is the newest trend
So small, the Ark Zero cannot even be seen as an electric car or microcar. In fact, it is categorized as an ATV.
Your speed is modest, since it reaches a maximum of 45 km/h, having an engine of only 3 horsepower.
However, it is capable of traveling 81 km without the need for charging and is much more comfortable than any electric bike or motorcycle. What's more, it protects occupants from rain and sun.
More security
Another highlight of the small electric car is its safety.
“Aluminium, a light and strong metal, is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Their inherent properties allow our cars to deliver agile performance without compromising structural integrity. The robust aluminum body of our electric cars forms a solid protective layer around them, offering greater resistance in the event of an impact”, says the official statement from Ark.
How much does it cost?
Overall, the electric car is very simple and modest, but it has a very realistic and affordable price. That's because you can buy a unit for around 6 thousand euros, that is, something around R$ 31 thousand.
However, the consumers interested parties need to buy today to receive the vehicle within up to 16 weeks, that is, almost 4 months. Just choose the color and wait for time to pass.
