Mexico's automotive industry is at a crucial point of transformation. In a global context increasingly focused on the decarbonization of transportation, Mexico is emerging as a key player in the production and assembly of electrified vehicles.

Between January and April 2025, domestic production of electric vehicles reached 81,049 units, a 72.27 percent increase over the same period in 2024. This trend suggests that Mexico could exceed 250,000 electric units produced by the end of the year, which would represent a 21.17 percent increase over the 2024 total.

In 2024, 206,870 electric vehicles were assembled, almost double the 2023 figure. Models such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Honda Prologue EV, and Cadillac Optiq have spearheaded the electrification of major plants such as General Motors in Coahuila and Ford in the State of Mexico.

This increase in production not only reflects the diversification strategy of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in Mexico, but also the growing demand for next-generation platforms in North America. Many of these platforms are based on 100% electric architectures, despite current policies that seek to limit the advancement of electrification in markets such as the United States.

The most dynamic subcategories include:

• Electric powertrain (+53.8%)
• Fuel cell systems (+50.0%)
• Other components for electric vehicles (+55.4%)
• Thermal cooling systems for electric vehicles (+26.9%)
• Batteries and associated components (+14.6%).

The electromobility sector in Mexico shows growth in domestic production of electric vehicles, although direct investment declined in the first quarter of 2025, recording only 7 projects totaling $78.6 million, 97.4% less than in the same period in 2024. Despite this slowdown, some projects were strategic, such as the Ford innovation center in Irapuato and the Yadea plant in the State of Mexico.

As for the domestic market, total sales of electrified vehicles (BEVs, PHEVs, and HEVs) reached 124,310 units in 2024, an annual increase of 68.7 percent. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 24,290 of these sales, an increase of 72.84% over 2023. However, the beginning of 2025 brought adjustments: sales of BEVs fell 13.5 percent in the first four months, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and conventional hybrids (HEVs) grew 58.8 percent and 33.5 percent, respectively. This trend suggests the need for improved charging infrastructure, affordability, and regulatory clarity in a still-developing national market.
