One of the main players in the massification of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, Enel X Way, presented, in alliance with MercadoLibre, more than 100 charging points in different regions of Chile.
The supply centers already reach 114 units, located in different MercadoLibre logistics centers throughout the country.
In addition to Santiago, they are located in La Serena, Viña del Mar, Concepción, Chillán and Temuco.
These electrolineras operate in a fast and flexible format, and allow the electric fleet in charge of dispatching packages to be charged with energy in the same place from where the route starts. This process can take between 4 and 8 hours depending on the type of load.
A Year of Joint Work
In 2022, Mercado Libre and Enel X Way announced the first joint installation of electric chargers, it was 30 charging points located in the distribution centers of the ecommerce company in Renca that allowed to have information on power, usability and charging schedules, to apply logistical efficiency in the operation.
Since that milestone, both companies declared their commitment to promote concrete actions to favor the massification of electromobility in Chile and now they are taking a second important step.

The incorporation of these units is part of MercadoLibre’s regional strategy to reduce carbon emissions throughout Latin America, taking on the challenge of growing the business in harmony with the planet.
The technology company already has more than 1,000 electric vehicles in Latin America, consolidating one of the largest electric mobility fleets in the region.
