Zero Emission Electric Vehicles

What Zero Emission Electric Vehicles does

ZEEV (Zero Emission Electric Vehicles, Lda) is a privately held Portuguese company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Carnaxide, Portugal, operating as a digital-first distributor and integrator of electric mobility solutions. The company sells EFUN-branded electric scooters across a 3kW–9kW range (with CATL batteries and up to 8-year warranties on top models), a layered charging-station portfolio from domestic units (Star Charge Aurora, ZEEV Domus Slim) through public/fast chargers (Elinta Polis Duo, Efacec, Star Charge Saturno, Venus) up to ultra-fast DC chargers (Star Charge Jupiter 60kW, Titan 180kW, Nova 360 200kW), a full range of Type 1, Type 2, Schuko, and industrial CEE charging cables and adapters, and Italian-made Italcar utility vehicles (METRO TRUCK, NEV, BUS M2, ATTIVA, SHUTTLE series) for passenger and goods transport in tourism, hospitality, agriculture, and urban logistics applications. Underlying technology is procured rather than developed: scooters use CATL cells, chargers support OCPP 1.6J and IP54–IP65 ratings, and integration is handled by partners including Ecomobility Green World (service) and Evolution SBC (workshop repair).

The business model is asset-light multi-brand distribution with attached services. Pricing is publicly listed for scooters (€2,491–€7,341), domestic chargers (€775–€788), professional chargers (€2,086–€4,845), and cables (€102–€589), all VAT-inclusive; vehicles and utility vehicles are sold on a quote basis. ZEEV also acts as a Bank of Portugal-registered credit intermediary, bundling financing into vehicle sales, and resells third-party-issued car insurance (Seguro Direto), mechanical warranties, maintenance, and an exclusive high-voltage battery capacity certificate service. GTM is digital-first e-commerce with a sales-led 'Request a Quote' motion for vehicles, supported by an EFUN scooter dealer network in Portugal. Customer segments span individual consumers, businesses and fleet operators, public institutions, tourism/hospitality, and urban logistics; the only named enterprise reference is Benfica for stadium utility vehicles. No revenue, headcount, or external funding is disclosed.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Wallbox: Spanish-headquartered EV charging hardware company selling home and public chargers across Europe. Highly comparable product overlap with ZEEV's home/professional charging station catalog (Star Charge Aurora, Elinta Geminus).
• Italcar: Italian manufacturer of electric utility vehicles for tourism, hospitality and industrial use — ZEEV distributes Italcar vehicles in Portugal. Direct overlap on product category (utility vehicles, mini-buses, ATTIVA series) and customer verticals.
• Efacec: Portuguese EV charging and energy solutions manufacturer whose public chargers ZEEV distributes. Same domestic market, overlapping product lines (Efacec Public Charger is on ZEEV's shelves) and shared end customers.

Broad incumbents

• Galp: Portuguese energy company with EV charging and mobility initiatives. Same geography, overlapping customer base (fleets, businesses), and integrated energy offering that could disintermediate ZEEV's bundle.
• Iberdrola: Spanish utility with one of Europe's largest EV charging networks. Competitor for public charging infrastructure deployments and an indirect threat via subsidized end-to-end EV+energy offerings.
• ChargePoint: Largest North American/European EV charging network and hardware provider. Comparable product category (charging stations + cables) but at vastly greater scale and with proprietary network/software advantages ZEEV lacks.
• EDP: Portuguese utility actively deploying public EV charging infrastructure. Operates in the same domestic market and competes with ZEEV's charging distribution business, while also being a potential bulk buyer of EV chargers.

Regional players

• MOBI.E: Government-backed Portuguese public EV charging network. Sets the standards ZEEV's distributed chargers must interoperate with and competes for the same public charging procurement contracts.
• Prio Energy: Portuguese fuel retailer expanding into EV charging at service stations. Competes with ZEEV in public charging distribution and benefits from existing forecourt real estate that ZEEV cannot replicate.
• GreenWay: Central European EV charging network operator with similar full-stack offering (hardware + network + services). Useful regional comparable for ZEEV's potential cross-border expansion thesis.
