Electromobility is a recurring theme for city planning and becomes a sustainable alternative for urban mobility. The Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry, together with the governments, has assumed the challenge of promoting public policies that facilitate the electrification of the fleet and sustainable mobility.

Recently, the executive president of the National Auto Parts Industry (INA), Francisco N. González Díaz, highlighted the commitment of the International Energy Agency, of which Mexico is a member, to reach the goal of 60% of new electric vehicles in the market by 2030.

It is expected that by 2030 all of Europe and the United States will already move in this type of vehicle which, among other benefits, does not generate polluting emissions, suffers fewer mechanical breakdowns, does not require maintenance, does not pay taxes such as possession and verification and, in some cities and countries, your purchase has incentives or financing facilities, whether public or private.

Nazareth Black, CEO of the Mexican electric car brand Zacua, develops some relevant points, where he points out that all the assemblers in the world accelerate their processes for the arrival of this type of car. Developed countries in Europe, Asia and North America are working so that 100% of their vehicle standard is electric by 2030. Even in Mexico, there are already many options on the market.

Gone is the statement that they are expensive cars, compared to the maintenance and cost of gasoline in the long run it is better to opt for a loan and acquire an electric car that may cost 500 thousand pesos in general credit, but from there the expenses are minimal. In addition, little by little Mexico City develops infrastructure, currently there are about 200 electrolineras (charging points).

Currently, the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA) and the National Auto Parts Industry (INA) are working on the transition towards electromobility, for which they state that it is urgent for Mexico to join the list of countries with commitments and comprehensive public policies that promote the electrification of the vehicle fleet hand in hand with the Mexican automotive industry.
