Mexico is strengthening its commitment to electric mobility with the release of the General Organization Manual for Litio para México (LitioMX). Published on May 16 in the Official Gazette, this new framework aims to solidify state control over lithium and build a national battery production industry.
The manual outlines the structure and responsibilities of LitioMX, the agency tasked with managing lithium from exploration to manufacturing. This positions lithium as a cornerstone of electric mobility in Mexico, under a sovereign and value-added strategy.

Strategic lithium for national innovation
According to LitioMX director Pablo Taddei, over 70 sites have been explored and more than 5,000 samples collected. A pilot plant is planned for 2025 to scale lithium carbonate production — the raw material used in EV batteries.
This effort aligns with projects like Olinia, aiming to assemble 100% Mexican electric cars. Supported by public investment and led by IPN and TecNM, Olinia represents a bold step toward developing electric mobility in Mexico from within.
Toward Latam Mobility México 2025
The new policy coincides with Latam Mobility México 2025, taking place October 13–14 in Mexico City. This high-level event will feature panels on public policy, EV charging infrastructure, fleet electrification and automotive innovation.
Electric mobility in Mexico relies on forward-looking public action. When state policy, industry innovation, and strategic investment converge, the path to a sustainable transportation future becomes clearer and more achievable.
