The Mexican Association for the Automotive Industry reported that the purchase of both electric and hybrid vehicles grew 93% in the country in 2021.  Of roughly 47,000 units sold, 23.5% were in Mexico City.

The total sale of hybrid and electric vehicles in Mexico grew 92.9% as of the end of 2021, as reported by the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA), based on information published by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

AMIA reported that in 2021, a total of 47,079 units were sold nationwide, compared to the 24,405 units sold in 2020.

The most recent report states that from that total, 42,477 units were hybrid, 3,492 were plug-in hybrids, and 1,140 were fully electric.

This last segment grew 153% during 2021 compared to 2020.

These units were sold mainly in Mexico City (23.5%), followed by the State of Mexico (13.4%), Nuevo León (10.1%), and Jalisco (9.5%).

Additionally, the AMIA remarked that during December 2021, the total of both hybrid and electric vehicles was 4,110 units, or 16.7% more than December 2020 (302 electric units, 479 plug-in hybrids, and 3,329 hybrids).

In 2021, the sale of vehicles with this type of alternative technology represented 4.6% of the total sales of light vehicles, compared to 2020 when they barely represented 2.6%.

Mexico City has opted for electric mobility and its inhabitants are beginning to adopt it little by little.

It’s worth mentioning that this kind of mobility is apparent in several transportation services across Mexico City: the Metro, Metrobús, Trolebús, private scooters, and electric bikes, which are used by thousands of users every day.

Are you convinced that electromobility is here to stay?
