EV Sales in Mexico Jump 34% in 1H25: EMA
Publish date: 2025-08-01
Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Mexico accelerated in 1H25, with sales increasing 33.76% compared to the same period in 2024, according to the Electromobility Association (EMA). A total of 43,656 EVs and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) were sold between January and June, raising the national EV fleet to 152,035 units, up from 108,379 at the end of 2024.
This growth is primarily driven by last-mile logistics fleets, ride-hailing platforms, and public transportation operators transitioning to electric mobility. The trend aligns with global efforts to reduce transportation sector emissions, which the United Nations identified in 2023 as the world’s second-largest source of greenhouse gases.
Electrifying high-usage vehicles offer greater environmental and economic impact than private vehicle adoption. "When an individual switches to an EV, the environmental benefit is limited since most people drive around 30 kilometers a day," said Eugenio Grandio, president, EMA, to Mexico Business. "A rideshare or taxi driver may travel 300 kilometers daily. Electrifying such vehicles significantly reduces emissions."
