“Mi Taxi Eléctrico”, a program of the Chilean Ministry of Energy, funded by the Regional Government of O’Higgins, arrived in San Vicente de Tagua Tagua, offering test drives, program advice and financing options for electric collective cabs.
The activity highlighted the multiple benefits of the program and offered a test drive experience with the BYD Dolphin GS and BYD Yuan Plus GS electric models.
This initiative allowed collective cab drivers and the community to learn first-hand about the advantages and features of these state-of-the-art vehicles.

Key initiative
The Seremi of Energy, Claudio Martínez Molina, underlined the importance of these initiatives by stressing that these on-site activities with colectiveros are extremely beneficial.
“Not only do they allow us to demystify certain misconceptions about electromobility, but they also give drivers the opportunity to test the available models,” he said.
“Decentralization of program deployment is a primary task for our government and a request from the regional government that funds us. Coming to the San Vicente-Pichidegua line has been very fruitful, so users can count on the support of the O’Higgins Energy Seremi and the motivated team of the Energy Sustainability Agency,” he explained.
During the event, the fundamental role of Banco Estado in offering additional financial support to those who wish to acquire an electric vehicle was highlighted, in addition to the contribution of the Regional Government.
This alliance is crucial for drivers to be able to access the benefits of electromobility, thanks to exclusive financing options designed for the program.
