After its successful implementation in Mexico City, the company Beat brought its “Beat Zero” service to Chile, a mobility solution that has a 100% electric fleet, hired drivers, meticulous safety measures and great technology to make the trip an experience.
Starting this week, 120 electric vehicles will be available covering the areas of Las Condes, Providencia, Ñuñoa, Macul, Peñalolén and Santiago Centro.
Beat Zero’s fleet of 100% electric vehicles seeks to bring electromobility closer to people thanks to its affordable fares, which are between 20% and 30% cheaper than a premium app service. In addition, it will avoid the emission of 2 thousand tons of CO2 per year.
Pioneering Service
The fleet of 120 Beat Zero 100% electric vehicles represents 66% of the total number of such vehicles sold in the country during the first quarter and 77% of the total number sold in May, according to figures published by the Chilean National Automotive Association (Anac).
It is worth noting that each Beat Zero vehicle will generate carbon savings equivalent to what 4 million trees would process, contributing to the environmental quality of Santiago, which is among the 10 most polluted cities in Latin America, and to the acceleration of making Chile carbon neutral by 2050.
The service is also the first to have an exclusive infrastructure powered by Copec Voltex. The charging center has three double SuperChargers and one of the most powerful available in the country, with up to 150 kW. This allows charging 80% of the vehicles’ batteries in just 30 minutes.
Confidence in Chilean Territory
Vice President of Beat Latin America, Hans Hanckes assured that the citizens of Chile will respond positively to this new service, not only because they adopt technology quickly, but also because they have a great commitment to the environment.
“We expect to exceed 600,000 trips by the end of the year, thanks to the unique price/quality/zero emission ratio offered by Beat Zero. We are convinced that the future of mobility must be sustainable and people need to travel safely and quietly,” he added.
Hanckes said Beat Zero is an unprecedented service in Chile that will seek to transform the travel experience for passengers. “For the first time they will have access to electromobility from an app and to a travel experience focused on them, ranging from the driver’s attention when getting into the electric car, to arriving at the destination in a safer way,” he concluded.
