Chilean authorities have set the goal of expanding electric mobility<\/strong> beyond Santiago de Chile, the leading city in the sector in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to BN Americas, more than half of the country’s municipalities lack any type of charging infrastructure<\/strong>, and the Metropolitan Region<\/strong> concentrates nearly three-quarters of the existing public charging points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the Chilean government is drafting a national plan for charging infrastructure<\/strong> that should be announced by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also read: <\/strong>The Optimal: The Ideal Partner for Supply Chain Management<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The main objective of the initiative will be to ensure that there are no more than 100 kilometers between charging points<\/strong>, said Undersecretary of Energy<\/strong> Luis Felipe Ramos during an online seminar on electromobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only 123 of Chile’s 246 municipalities had at least one publicly accessible charging point by the end of last year, despite the 75.3% increase<\/strong> in the number of chargers registered between 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, of the 745 charging points available to the public at the end of last year, 71.8% were in the Metropolitan Region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Valpara\u00edso Region<\/strong>, which has the second-highest number of chargers, accounts for just 5.1% of the total<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The disparity is even greater considering the number of registered electric vehicles<\/strong>, as Santiago accounted for 85.1%<\/strong> of the total 8,454 at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ramos noted that the charging infrastructure plan will initially focus on establishing a continuous network starting in Caldera, in the Antofagasta Region<\/strong>, and extending to the island of Chilo\u00e9, in the Los Lagos Region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, the third version of the Electric Taxi Program<\/strong> from the Ministry of Energy is being implemented for the first time outside of Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This initiative, which aims to financially support taxi drivers in acquiring electric vehicles, now accepts applications from the regions of Antofagasta, O’Higgins, Atacama,<\/strong> and Biob\u00edo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The “Latam Mobility & Conosur 2024”<\/strong> in Santiago, Chile, will bring together the most important companies and leaders related to energy, transportation, fuels, and mobility, to showcase the advances and perspectives<\/strong> of the industry in the country and the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The summit will feature a series of panels and thematic presentations<\/strong> that play a key role in advancing sustainable mobility, decarbonization, circular economy,<\/strong> and renewable energies,<\/strong> as well as prominent networking<\/strong> for the formation of key alliances on the road to zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event will take place from August 27 to 28<\/strong> at the Hotel InterContinental, Santiago.<\/strong> To register, you can click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
