Mexico Posts Record Electrified Vehicle Sales in First Half of 2026

EMA says the surge in sales and charger rollout has created jobs and requires new policy to grow domestic manufacturing

Overview

  • The Electro Movilidad Asociación reported on Thursday that 53,430 new electrified vehicles were sold in Mexico in the first half of 2026, a 22% increase from the same period in 2025.
  • Sales by technology were led by 31,063 plug‑in hybrids, 22,236 battery electric vehicles, and 131 range‑extended models, with PHEVs rising fastest year over year.
  • Charging capacity expanded to 60,934 points at the end of June 2026, of which 56,279 are private chargers and 4,655 are public sites that include 1,594 DC fast chargers.
  • EMA says the sector has produced more than 30,000 formal jobs across installer, distributor and technical roles and calls for policies to strengthen local manufacturing and supply chains.
  • Broader indicators show mixed signals for industry competitiveness because vehicle production in Mexico fell sharply this year, a gap industry leaders say policy must address to keep investment and jobs growing.
