5 mudanças para o Chevrolet Captiva EV antes da produção no Brasil A Chevrolet já confirmou que o Captiva EV vai ser fabricado na cidade de Horizonte, Ceará. Lá já é feito o Spark, outro elétrico da marca. O curioso é que os dois modelos herdam nomes de carros da Chevrolet, mas não têm nada a ver com seus antecessores. O g1 testou o SUV elétrico, que hoje é vendido por R$ 220 mil, e aponta cinco melhorias que a Chevrolet poderia fazer antes da produção nacional. ✅ Clique aqui para seguir o canal do g1 Carros no WhatsApp E se você acha que o Captiva EV não tem nenhuma relação com o Captiva lançado em 2008, você está redondamente certo. O design com linhas agudas e para-lamas salientes até conversa com alguns carros da GM. Porém este é o Wuling Starlight S, com mudanças estéticas para ficar alinhado ao portfólio da Chevrolet. Chevrolet Captiva EV Divulgação / GM O SUV tem motor elétrico dianteiro com 201 cv e torque de 31,6 kgfm. O desempenho é tímido, 0 a 100 km/h em 9,9 segundos e velocidade máxima de 150 km/h. As baterias comportam 60 kWh e são de lítio ferro-fosfato. Pelo padrão do Inmetro, a autonomia é de 304 km. Um conjunto até básico no mercado de elétricos nos dias de hoje. Há concorrentes com preço próximo, com mais potência e autonomia. Segurança O pacote de segurança do Captiva é bom, como sistema de velocidade de cruzeiro adaptativo e frenagem autônoma de emergência. O sistema de alerta e permanência em faixa poderia ser mais refinado, as reações são um pouco tardias. Porém, este é um sistema auxiliar e não uma condução autônoma. O farol alto também se ajusta para baixo automaticamente para não ofuscar ninguém. Com as câmeras é possível ver ao redor e evitar aqueles toques que acabam com o dia do motorista. Sensor de estacionamento é só na traseira. Sonic é melhor A experiência dentro do Captiva EV é peculiar. Quem já testa produtos da Chevrolet está acostumado ao MyLink e à filosofia adotada pela GM. Desde o Onix, passando por Sonic e até modelos mais caros, como a Blazer EV. Ainda que a Blazer seja muito mais sofisticada que um Sonic, existe uma lógica clara na marca envolvendo multimídia, ícones, volante, botões e até o cluster, criando uma identidade bem definida dentro da cabine. No Captiva EV, porém, essa lógica não está presente. Isso é compreensível, já que o modelo deriva Wuling Starlight S. Portanto, faz sentido que ele apresente uma ergonomia e uma organização interna diferentes. Chevrolet Captiva EV Divulgação / GM O problema é que essa nova proposta não supera a experiência já oferecida pela GM. A multimídia atual do SUV utiliza uma lógica baseada em conteúdos retangulares organizados verticalmente, algo que lembra tablets ou até sistemas genéricos encontrados no mercado de acessórios. Além disso, a forma como diversas funções são ajustadas não é tão intuitiva nem tão refinada quanto no sistema tradicional da Chevrolet. Por isso, seria interessante que a GM, quando produzir o Captiva no Brasil, implemente o sistema MyLink no modelo fabricado no Ceará. Galerias Relacionadas Outro ponto que compromete a experiência é a ausência de carregador por indução. Isso obriga o uso de cabo USB atravessando o painel para conectar o celular, o que reduz a praticidade e prejudica a percepção de qualidade da cabine. Como consequência, também não há Android Auto nem Apple CarPlay sem fio. Sem carregador por indução, a utilização prolongada de sistemas sem fio pode se tornar limitada, já que o consumo de bateria do celular tende a ser elevado em viagens mais longas. Dessa forma, a Chevrolet precisaria fazer essas mudanças para o Captiva nacional: oferecer Android Auto e Apple CarPlay sem fio e incluir carregador por indução. Um bônus seria colocar a opção de Wi-fi na cabine, igual ao Sonic e outros modelos da marca. Por outro lado, há um aspecto que a GM deve preservar no Captiva brasileiro: a qualidade dos materiais internos. O modelo apresenta acabamentos no console central que, em alguns pontos, superam materiais plásticos encontrados até mesmo na Blazer, que pertence a uma categoria superior e possui projeto Chevrolet próprio. Ao buscar fornecedores locais para a produção nacional, a GM deveria manter o padrão de qualidade e a escolha cuidadosa dos materiais já presentes no Captiva, preservando um dos principais pontos positivos da cabine. E também manter o teto solar panorâmico. Minimalismo ≠ minimizar Ao volante, o Chevrolet Captiva apresenta pontos positivos, mas também aspectos que poderiam evoluir. Do ponto de vista de ergonomia e acesso às informações, existe uma percepção que não se limita apenas ao produto da Chevrolet, mas a vários veículos novos: o conceito de minimalismo em algumas cabines está sendo confundido com simplesmente minimizar elementos, e são propostas bastante diferentes. Minimalismo significa oferecer informações importantes (como nível de bateria, potência, velocidade e autonomia) de maneira clara, objetiva e facilmente compreensível em uma rápida olhada. Transmitir informação com eficiência, sem excessos. Chevrolet Captiva EV Divulgação / GM Por outro lado, “minimizar” é reduzir demais esses elementos, como ocorre ao utilizar um cluster muito pequeno, que até pode parecer discreto, mas compromete a leitura e pode até transmitir, de forma subconsciente, uma sensação de economia excessiva ou de produto mais barato. Essa percepção se torna ainda mais evidente quando modelos de segmentos inferiores já oferecem telas maiores e visualmente mais adequadas. Por isso, para o Captiva produzido no Brasil, a Chevrolet poderia rever o tamanho desse cluster e adotar uma filosofia mais alinhada ao padrão já conhecido da marca, tanto em multimídia quanto em apresentação de informações. Isso tornaria a experiência de condução mais agradável e reforçaria a sensação de qualidade. Menos adrenalina Em relação à direção, o acerto é anestesiado. No cenário atual, porém, exigir de carros elétricos sensações de condução mais refinadas ou esportivas é falar para um público bastante específico. Consumidores que buscam veículos elétricos normalmente priorizam eficiência energética, autonomia e desempenho equivalente a motores turbo a combustão, sem necessariamente esperar direção afiada ou comportamento dinâmico mais envolvente. Para quem busca essa experiência ao volante, ainda existem opções como o Volkswagen Tiguan, que, embora não seja híbrido nem elétrico, entrega uma proposta mais dinâmica, com suspensão refinada e direção mais precisa, ainda que por um preço elevado. Já no caso do Captiva, sua proposta está claramente voltada para outro perfil de consumidor. Portanto, os cinco pontos a melhorar são: Sistema multimídia com MyLink Conexão de Android Auto e Apple Car Play sem fio Carregadores por indução para celular Cluster de instrumentos maior Ar-condicionado de 2 zonas Galerias Relacionadas Ao gosto do brasileiro Dentro desse contexto, um aspecto positivo é que, mesmo sendo um produto de origem chinesa, o acerto de suspensão desenvolvido para o Brasil é competente. Apesar das rodas grandes, o carro não transmite em excesso as imperfeições do asfalto para a cabine, evitando desconforto exagerado. Outro destaque importante está na calibração do conjunto elétrico para o uso diário. Diversas marcas ainda enfrentam dificuldades no ajuste entre acelerador, frenagem regenerativa e resposta inicial do pedal, o que muitas vezes gera aquela sensação desconfortável que algumas pessoas associam erroneamente aos carros elétricos. No Captiva, esse ajuste foi bem executado. A transição entre aceleração, desaceleração e frenagem ocorre de forma natural, aproximando a experiência daquilo que motoristas estão acostumados a sentir em veículos a combustão. Em poucos segundos ao volante, a condução se mostra previsível, confortável e sem os solavancos comuns em calibrações mal resolvidas. Nesse ponto, a Chevrolet acertou e, para o modelo nacional, deve manter essa configuração, preservando uma das qualidades mais relevantes da experiência do Captiva.

Electrons are great. We use them to move vehicles, illuminate cities, and, of course, compute. But computation is not confined to the world of electronics. And shifting to alternative nonelectronic realms can unlock unique advantages: Photonic chips, for instance, process information with light while generating little heat. Another compelling alternative is fluidics, which uses pressurized gases or liquids to build logic circuits. Pioneered in the 1960s but sidelined by microchips, the field reemerged in the 1990s as “microfluidics.” This approach aims to shrink laboratories onto a single chip by creating microscopic fluid channels with integrated micropneumatic control systems. Today, there is a second fluidic revival, this time in the domain of soft robotics. Scaling microfluidic designs up to the millimeter-scale range (millifluidics) enables the higher flow rates necessary to drive robotic actuators. These robots exploit the nonlinear behaviors of soft materials to create lifelike motion and safer interactions, often utilizing pressurized air. By building systems that “think” with the same air that powers them, we can drastically reduce the need for bulky electronic-to-pneumatic interfaces. This is the focus of my Soiboi Studio robotics lab. With millifluidic logic, I have steadily scaled the complexity of my designs. What began with a simple oscillator has most recently evolved into a clock featuring a soft, four-digit, seven-segment display. What Is Millifluidics? Building on microfluidics research from the early 2000s and recent developments from the Grover Lab at the University of California, Riverside, I’ve developed millifluidic devices using standard 3D printing and silicone casting. The basic architecture is simple: A flexible membrane is sandwiched between rigid layers embedded with networks of air channels. Just as electronics rely on differing voltage potentials, these fluidic circuits operate on the pressure difference between atmospheric pressure (logical 0) and a near-vacuum at around −60 kilopascals of relative pressure (logical 1). Using negative pressure means the membrane is pulled into openings. This creates robust seals that allow me to replicate electronic building blocks. A cast silicone membrane forms the face of the clock [top], while behind it sits 3D-printed millifluidic blocks [middle rows]. An Arduino Uno controls driver boards that operate solenoids, which are connected to valves that are attached to a vacuum pump [bottom row].James Provost While fluidic resistors are easily realized by adjusting the channel geometry, the heart of the system is a valve that mimics a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, or MOSFET. This vacuum “transistor” features a flow layer with two chambers (the source and drain) divided by a central valve seat and a control layer containing a cavity (the gate). A membrane runs between the control and flow layers and normally prevents airflow between the source and drain chambers. To switch the transistor on, a vacuum is applied to the gate chamber, sucking the membrane into the cavity and lifting it off the seat. This opens a path for airflow, equivalent to closing an electric circuit. By adding a small aperture to the membrane, I created a check valve—the fluidic equivalent of a diode. By combining transistors and resistive “pull-down” channels, I can build a full suite of logic gates. The original microfluidic designs that inspired me were fabricated from etched glass and milled acrylic. Adapting them for a standard 3D printer required reengineering the logic elements and mastering two critical fabrication techniques. First, I need airtight prints, yet printed plastic is notoriously porous. By printing at elevated temperatures, slow speeds, and slight overextrusion, I was able to fill microscopic gaps. When you’re using transparent filament, there’s a handy visual indicator: The more transparent the plastic appears, the lower its porosity. Second, I used glass for my print bed. By printing the upper and lower chambers directly against this bed, I got the interface surface to become mirror smooth. This finish is essential for creating reliable, airtight seals. A 0.3-millimeter silicone membrane is placed between the layers and secured with screws. How Does the Soft Clock Work? The clockface is a cast silicone membrane. Each digit segment is formed by a small underlying cavity. When air is evacuated from this cavity, the membrane is sucked inward to create a concave hollow; when atmospheric pressure is restored, the silicone pops back flush with the surface. The result is a mesmerizing, organic motion. The “brain” of the clock is an Arduino Uno, while the fluidics significantly reduce the hardware footprint. A four-digit, seven-segment display with two separator dots would require 29 solenoid valves to control directly. My clock needs just 11 valves. A pneumatic transistor is off when its upper control chamber is at atmospheric pressure [top]. When air is removed from the control chamber, it lifts a membrane, which allows air to flow between lower flow chambers and turns the transistor on [bottom]. James Provost To understand how it works, consider a standard electronic four-digit, seven-segment LED display. This also uses 11 pins to drive its digits. (In clockface displays, an additional pin is required to drive the separator dots.) Every digit is connected to a shared data bus with seven lines, one per segment. The four control lines select individual digits. Only one digit is illuminated at time, and strobing the digits at least 50 times per second creates the illusion that all four are simultaneously illuminated. Such high-speed switching is not possible with air. Instead, I rely on memory. Each segment acts like a capacitor: By evacuating its cavity (logic 1), you “charge” the segment; by restoring atmospheric pressure (logic 0), you discharge it. Hence, each digit acts as an independent 7-bit memory. If the system is sufficiently airtight, the segments maintain their state for several seconds. Like the electronic display, the system utilizes a seven-line data bus. Each line connects to a solenoid valve that provides either vacuum or atmospheric pressure. To selectively address the individual digits, I placed a fluidic transistor between each segment and its data line. All the transistors’ control inputs for a given digit are combined into one “write enable” line connected to its own solenoid valve. Activating this valve allows me to write data into the corresponding digit’s memory. The clock updates one digit per second, meaning a full cycle across the face takes 4 seconds. This cycle also drives the separator dots: A set of fluidic diodes connects the enable lines to the dots’ cavities. Consequently, as each digit is addressed, the dots pulse automatically. This display is more than a clock; it is a soft robot that happens to tell time. By offloading computation to the same air that powers movement, the clock approaches a new class of machines that are simpler, lighter, and more integrated. I’m now developing a guide for getting started with vacuum-powered logic and may release a refined version of this clock in the future. Watching the silicone skin morph serves as a fascinating reminder that not all logic needs silicon; sometimes, all you need is flexible silicone and a flow of air. This article appears in the June 2026 print issue as “The Soft Clock.”
