Mexico EV Sales Hit 25,003 in Q1 2026 as Charging Network Grows

EMA's broader count, now covering Chinese makers, points to growth powered by fleet savings.

Overview

  • EMA reported 25,003 new electric and plug‑in vehicles sold in Mexico in Q1 2026, lifting the running total above 235,000.
  • The quarter’s mix was 14,617 plug‑in hybrids, 10,340 battery electrics, and 46 range‑extended models.
  • Public chargers reached 4,378 points, up 24.6% year over year, while private charging positions rose 25.7% to 55,224, helped by more DC fast sites.
  • EMA counted 10,340 battery‑electric sales versus 6,691 in INEGI data because it includes brands such as BYD, Geely, and GAC that do not report to the official database.
  • App‑based transport kept adoption moving in Q1 2026, with 2,218 EV loans and 5.8 million trips totaling 62.8 million km, as drivers cut costs using cheaper overnight power at about 0.38 pesos per kWh versus 0.76 in daytime.
