The government and private initiative you need to look for incentives to invest electric vehicles and create charging centers for both light cars as electric trucksin order to boost electromobility and reduce costs, he pointed out Eduardo Guzmán Brachettifinancial director of the 99Minutos commercial fleet platform.
In the interview The Funderthe manager pointed out that the company had made investments to electrify part of its fleet electric vehicles from several customers, such as Amazon, Walmart, Free market e Ikeawhich at the regional level can represent up to 10 percent of its electric vehicle fleet, a total of 800 units already operating in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Chile.

He added: considering the development of the charging infrastructure for private electric vehicles, we should also think about the development of common charging centers for large-scale factories and trucks or commercial fleets.
The goal, he emphasized, is to speed up this type of technology in industry as well, so that investment in such vehicles is cheaper.
“The issue of public infrastructure has been very focused on light vehicles and not so much on trucks, so I think if the government and the public sector they are starting to develop hubs that can not only serve one company, but can become shared hubs where several companies with commercial fleets can charge,” he said.
Currently, the company has not shared plans for new investmentsand electrical units in Mexico.
Guzmán Brachetti was confident that the next government would encourage investment in charging infrastructure and electric vehicles to further stimulate the market.
