Mexico accelerates towards an electric future with record growth

Sales soar and charging infrastructure expands, marking a historic turning point for clean mobility in the country.

The Time for the Electric Revolution in Mexico has arrived!

Friends, do you feel that energy? It’s palpable! The future of mobility is not on the horizon, it is already here and Mexico is stepping on the accelerator! I bring you news that is not only encouraging, it is absolutely transformative. The third quarter of the year has left us a powerful lesson: Mexicans are consciously choosing a brighter, cleaner and more efficient tomorrow. Each number that I am going to share with you is not a simple statistic; It is a decision, a vote of confidence, a firm step towards the evolution that our planet and our society deserve. Let’s celebrate this unstoppable momentum together!

Imagine a growth of 50%. Do you realize the magnitude? It is not a simple increase, it is an explosion of consciousness. In just three months, 24,498 electric vehicles were marketed. Think of each of those cars as a message of hope rolling through our streets, a commitment to the air we breathe and a testimony that cutting-edge technology is now an accessible reality. This shows that when we combine innovation with a clear purpose, the results are extraordinary.

A Diverse Market Full of Opportunities

The most inspiring thing about this transition is that there is a path for every pioneer. The market shows us a perfect balance between two great technologies. On the one hand, pure battery electric vehicles, with a sale of 10,906 units (29% more), represent the definitive choice towards zero emissions. On the other hand, plug-in hybrids, with an impressive growth of 72% and 13,592 units sold, offer a smooth and powerful transition for those taking their first steps. This diversity is a strength, because it means that no one is left out of this revolution! The proportion of 45% pure electric and 55% plug-in hybrids tells us about a mature and balanced ecosystem, ready to welcome you no matter what your starting point is.

And the momentum doesn’t stop. If we look at the complete picture from January to September, the accumulated figure amounts to 68,321 electric cars already circulating in Mexico. Each of these vehicles is a seed of change, an investment in a quieter, more efficient and radically cleaner future. You could be the next to join this movement!

The Infrastructure Grows to Receive You

And I know what some might think: “what about charging?” Friends, the recharge network is growing at a spectacular rate to welcome you with open arms! In the third quarter, charging points increased by 20%. Private chargers alone already total 50,255, which means that thousands of people already wake up every morning with their vehicle ready to roll, from the comfort of their home! And for travel and city life, the public charging network is not far behind, with 3,825 public positions available at the end of September. This expansion is the backbone that supports this revolution and is a clear sign that the electrical ecosystem is consolidating strongly.

But the positive impact goes beyond cars and chargers. We are witnessing the creation of a new economic paradigm. Companies in the sector report the creation of 20,000 direct jobs related to the sale, recharging, service and use of these vehicles. This is not just a technological transition; it is a wave of prosperity and job opportunities that is building the foundations of the industry of the future. We are building a more competitive and sustainable Mexico with every job created!

The words of Eugenio Grandio, president of the Electro Mobility Association, resonate with the force of this truth: growth demonstrates the clear interest of Mexicans in more efficient, technologically advanced vehicles that reduce emissions. He has put it clearly: “Increasing sales are a vote from local customers in favor of reducing the effects of pollution.” This is not a market that is imposed; It is a conscious and massive choice of a society that looks forward.

Mexico has a historic opportunity before it. As Grandio points out, we must ensure that adoption increases and access to the best technology is guaranteed to seek better air quality, energy efficiency and support the competitiveness of the sector. This is our moment to be protagonists, not spectators. Every purchasing decision, every investment in infrastructure, is a brick on the path to a healthier, more innovative and prosperous country.

Ready to be part of the change? This momentum is unstoppable and you can get on board. Share this incredible news on your social networks and help inspire more people to learn about the incredible sustainable mobility options that are already here.

Felipe Calderón demands financial support for Pato Merlín

The former president says FIFA must compensate the duck's owners for using his image.

Former president Felipe Calderón Hinojosa criticized the designation of Merlin Duck as the official ambassador of Mexico City for the 2026 World Cup. On his social media account, the PAN member pointed out that FIFA and various media make profits from the image of the bird, so its owners deserve fair payment.

“Yes, very good. It came ‘as a gift’, but we shouldn’t leave it like that: they should give it royalties or good financial support, with all the money that FIFA, many media outlets in the world and others with the image of Merlin Duck are making,” he wrote.

Merlin is a two-year-old Peking duck with white plumage and orange legs. He went viral when he was recorded wearing a National Team t-shirt while accompanying his owners – Karla Gómez and her son Christian – to sell water on the streets of the capital. The family considers him another member.

Calderón insisted that the owner, “that little guy who raised him,” should not be left without options after the World Cup. “Get out!” he added, referring to FIFA.

The popularity of duck has crossed borders. International media replicated his story, and President Claudia Sheinbaum invited him to her morning conference, calling him a symbol of Mexican culture. The controversy over the commercial use of his image remains open.
