Chinese electric cars come to Mexico! Mexican car owner: Good quality, cost-effective
Chinese car manufacturers are rapidly expanding in the Mexican market, with several Chinese brands selling cars in Mexico, most of which have electric models on sale. Some of these brands have even built their own factories in the country. Chinese brand electric vehicles have also gained widespread praise from Mexican car owners for their good quality and high value for money.
Dairena and Fabio, a young couple living in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, were looking to buy a car about one year ago. After careful research and comparison, they finally chose a Chinese brand electric vehicle.
Chinese brand electric vehicle owner in Mexico, Fabio: The range is great, it has saved me a lot of money on fuel. The car's technology features are very high-tech and I really like them. I have installed a charging station at home, which was installed for free by the brand. On weekends, if we need to charge the car, we can find charging stations at large malls or other public places.
In addition to regular family users, Chinese brand electric vehicles are also popular among ride-hailing drivers. Good quality and high value for money are the general impressions of Chinese brand cars among drivers.
Mexican ride-hailing driver Isa: At night, I charge my electric car while I sleep, so by the time I wake up the next morning, the car is fully charged and I can drive for 8 hours straight. After switching to an electric car, my income has increased because the maintenance and repair costs are lower compared to gasoline cars. Passengers also like to ride in my car because it is more environmentally friendly.
Recently, a group of car manufacturers including BYD, JAC Motors, and Tesla launched the Mexican Electric Vehicle Association with the goal of promoting the popularization of electric vehicles in Mexico. The goal is to increase the sales share of electric vehicles to 50% by 2030. The association's data shows that by the end of 2023, the 7 member companies had more than 40,000 electric vehicles operating in Mexico, with more than 32,000 charging facilities.
