Report summary
The Mexican government has highlighted electromobility as one of its key strategies for advancing Mexico’s energy transition toward a cleaner future. Mexico’s energy demand keeps increasing on par with an expanding population. A major increase in electric vehicle (EV) sales will require the continued development of essential infrastructure in the form of charging stations, clean electricity generation sources, grid upgrades to reduce the transport sector’s dependence on oil production and addressing the energy sector’s dependence on oil and natural gas. Chinese automakers have steadily increased their presence in Mexico, surpassing established American manufacturers, with Chinese vehicles accounting for 9% of new vehicle sales in the country in 2024. This report will examine the growing presence of Chinese vehicles in the Mexican market, the role of renewable energy in this transition and the factors driving the automotive industry’s electrification.
