According to data from the Costa Rican Ministry of Environment and Energy<\/strong><\/a>, during 2022 more than 1,800 electric vehicles were registered, which meant an increase of more than 40% compared to 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year it is estimated that close to 5,000 will be imported, the highest figure in the last six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of September, a total of 40,000 vehicles had entered the country, of which 4,000 are electric, or 10.2%, according to data from the Association of Vehicle and Machinery Importers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alberto Antill\u00f3n<\/strong>, Energy Director of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, assured that people are seeing the benefits of buying this type of cars with zero or low emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2022 was a key year for Costa Rica with a significant increase, due to large investments and public policies that encouraged growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every day there are more models on the market and there is a good supply,” assured Carlos Aguilar<\/strong>, Executive Director of the Association of Vehicle and Machinery Importers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promoting Actions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Public Services Regulatory Authority<\/strong> (Aresep) recently announced a reduction in the rates for fast charging points for electric vehicles in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This measure, which significantly reduces costs, represents a great positive impact on the purchasing power of citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aresep’s decision represents an ongoing effort to promote zero-emission mobility, thus benefiting the environment and the health of the population, while generating substantial economic savings for those who opt for electric mobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the measure, the Executive Director of the Costa Rican Electric Mobility Association <\/strong>(Asomove), Silvia Rojas<\/strong>, expressed the satisfaction of the community of electric vehicle users with this reduction in road charging rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rojas highlighted how this measure translates into a relief for the family economy, both for those who use electric cars, bicycles and motorcycles, as well as for companies with fleets of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
