A leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer announced plans this week to significantly expand its fast-charging infrastructure across Mexico, addressing a critical barrier to EV adoption in Latin America. The move comes as regional governments intensify efforts to meet 2030 climate targets through transportation electrification.
Company representatives revealed during a Mexico City press conference that 120 new ultra-fast charging stations will be operational along major highways by Q3 2026. This expansion aims to create Mexico's first comprehensive intercity EV charging corridor, connecting Monterrey's industrial hub with tourist destinations along the Yucatán Peninsula.
While EV sales in Latin America grew 28% year-over-year in 2025, according to regional automotive associations, charging infrastructure remains concentrated in urban centers. The Chinese mainland-based manufacturer's strategy focuses on enabling long-distance travel – a key concern for potential buyers.
"This isn't just about selling cars," said the company's Americas CEO during the announcement. "We're building an ecosystem that supports Mexico's energy transition while creating local technical jobs through station maintenance and grid integration projects."
The initiative aligns with Mexico's National Electromobility Strategy, which seeks to achieve 50% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030. Energy analysts note that successful implementation could position Mexico as a regional leader in sustainable transport infrastructure.
