Leoparda Electric

We are Leoparda Electric, a battery swapping network to electrify vehicles in Latin America.

The two largest challenges facing the world today are decarbonization and socio-economic inequality. Latin America's vehicle fleet is still 99% gasoline powered; inequality is pervasive in the region. Leoparda Electric is building a battery swapping business to electrify the region's vehicles, starting with the 50 million motorcycles. We believe that a battery swapping model will not only accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the region, it will also put more money into the pocket of the users of these motorcycles because the total-cost-of-ownership is lower than a traditional gasoline powered bike.

Leos and Leas will have the opportunity to truly join at the ground level - we are building a company from the roots - that will make a massive impact on the climate ecosystem of Latin America. This is a place for hungry dreamers and doers to succeed in building something incredibly impactful.

If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the decarbonization and economic inequality in Latin America, join us.
