In Mexico, electromobility is gaining ground as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to traditional transportation. However, one of the main challenges for electric vehicle (EV) drivers is the availability of adequate charging infrastructure.
To address this challenge, Voltway, a Mexican company specializing in electric charging solutions, is leading an innovative project: transforming traditional gas stations into charging centers for electric vehicles.
This initiative seeks to leverage existing infrastructure and adapt it to new market needs, thus facilitating the transition to more accessible and convenient electric mobility for users.
Leveraging Existing Infrastructure
Gas stations in Mexico have an extensive distribution network and strategic locations throughout the country, making them ideal locations for the installation of electric charging stations.
Voltway is working on adapting these service stations to convert them into charging centers for electric vehicles, installing electric chargers at Mexican gas stations.
This transformation not only optimizes the use of existing infrastructure but also offers EV drivers a fast, convenient, and reliable service.
Currently, there are an estimated 2,000 public charging stations in Mexico, and this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
Voltway projects an increase of more than 500% in the number of public chargers over the next five years, indicating rapid expansion of the country’s charging infrastructure.
This expansion is essential to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles and ensure an optimal user experience.
Growth Projections
According to Voltway data, by 2030, Mexico will need at least 50,000 charging points for electric vehicles, a projection based on an analysis that considers the growth of the electric vehicle fleet and the need for adequate infrastructure to support this increase.
The company points out that without an adequate charging network, the potential of electric vehicles could be limited, hindering the transition to cleaner and more sustainable mobility.
Gas stations offer strategic locations that can be convenient for electric vehicle users.
Voltway is working on installing charging stations in various locations, including:
- Traditional gas stations: Adapting existing service stations to include electric chargers.
- Shopping centers: Installing charging stations in high-traffic areas to facilitate user access.
- Public and private parking lots: Offering charging solutions in places frequented by electric vehicle drivers.
- Electric vehicle fleets: Providing charging infrastructure for companies that operate electric vehicle fleets.
Adaptability in Support of the Transition
The installation of charging stations at traditional gas stations offers multiple benefits for both consumers and the market in general.
For electric vehicle drivers, it means greater convenience and access to charging points in convenient locations.
For the market, it represents an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, reduce pollutant emissions, and contribute to the development of a sustainable mobility infrastructure.
Voltway‘s initiative to transform gas stations into electric charging centers is a significant step toward consolidating electric mobility in Mexico.
By leveraging existing infrastructure and adapting it to new market needs, Voltway is facilitating the transition to more sustainable and accessible mobility for all.
With projects like this, Mexico is moving toward a future where electromobility and energy innovation are consolidated as pillars of national transportation.
A Summit Driving Change
Voltway will be one of the partners participating in “Latam Mobility Mexico 2025,” an event that will bring together more than 900 leaders from the public and private sectors, including government authorities, multinational companies, transport operators, technology developers, and international organizations.
The summit has established itself as a benchmark platform for promoting sustainable mobility in Mexico and Latin America, and will feature the “Fleet Management & Charging Matchmaking Hub,” a strategic space aimed at those leading the transformation from the perspective of operations, technology, and business vision.
