Greetings and welcome back to the InsightEV Weekender. Here, I like to focus on things we did not cover during the week. This week, we concluded (for now) our Brazil coverage with dialogues with two different startups. Mileto is renting motorcycles with fixed batteries to the security patrol market in...
For the concluding part of our series on Brazil, we did an email interview with Vammo, the leading battery swapping startup in Brazil. Vammo believes in battery swapping for the market, though they admit that this is just the opening strategy, and the future may see a multi-solution business model. The...
We conclude our deep dive series on Brazil by talking to two startups with distinct battery plays. Today, we talk to Rogério Soler, CEO of Mileto, who is playing the game with fixed batteries. He is targeting only some segments of the B2B market, achieving a high product-market fit. Tomorrow,...
Niu has been on a comeback trail, and the previous annual results indicated that the company is sacrificing some margins for higher volumes. We wrote about this a few weeks back. The strategy seems to be paying off for now, as in Q1 2025, the company reported a 57% jump in...

The slide was driven by a steep fall in scooter sales that marginal growth in battery swapping revenues could not compensate for. In Q1 2025, Gogoro's gross revenues were USD 63.62 million, down 8.7% year over year from USD 69.7...
