The energy transition<\/strong> and sustainable mobility<\/strong> are crucial in the fight against climate change and the development of cleaner, more efficient cities. In light of this, Latam Mobility<\/strong> returned to Mexico City for a new edition of Latam Mobility & Net Zero: Mexico 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 1,200 attendees<\/strong>, 80 speakers<\/strong>, and representatives from more than 30 countries<\/strong>, the event took place at the World Trade Center<\/strong>, where one of the central topics was “Energy Transition and Sustainable Mobility: Solutions from the Electrical Sector and Charging Infrastructure.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronaldo Sandoval<\/strong>, Director of Analysis & Consulting at EvolvX<\/strong>, led an insightful debate on this topic, joined by Alonso Romero<\/strong>, Deputy Director of Commercial Strategy at CFE<\/strong>; Sebasti\u00e1n Luque<\/strong>, CEO of Enerlink<\/strong>; Edgar Moreno<\/strong>, Co-Founder of CeNeutral<\/strong>; Lorenzo Ortego<\/strong>, General Director of Voltway<\/strong>; and Isabel Miranda<\/strong>, Head of Marketing and Sales at Enel X Mexico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Need for Charging Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Implementing adequate charging infrastructure<\/strong> is essential to advancing electromobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Voltway<\/strong> and Enerlink<\/strong> are at the forefront of this transformation. Lorenzo Ortego<\/strong>, General Director of Voltway<\/strong>, explained that this Mexican startup specializes in implementing different types of electric chargers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDomestic chargers, fast chargers, and ultra-fast direct current chargers offer up to 400 kW.<\/strong> These chargers, still imported from Barcelona<\/strong>, aim to meet the growing need for recharging infrastructure<\/strong>, both for private users and fleets,” he affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Sebasti\u00e1n Luque<\/strong>, CEO of Enerlink<\/strong>, emphasized the importance of the charging experience for users<\/strong>, noting ongoing issues such as the availability<\/strong> of chargers and accessibility<\/strong> in various regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The company, focused on developing software for charge management, seeks to optimize monitoring and control of charging points, creating a more user-friendly experience,” he commented.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Transportation and Access to Remote Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Public transport is central to sustainable mobility<\/strong> plans. Isabel Miranda from Enel X<\/strong> highlighted how her company has been working in Mexico<\/strong> with turnkey solutions<\/strong> for energy supply and charging infrastructure. \u201cThis allows us to address public transport needs in cities like Mexico City,” she noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same context, Alonso Romero from CFE<\/strong> discussed their commitment to social electromobility<\/strong> through plans to electrify public transport<\/strong> and the country’s highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Charging infrastructure in remote regions represents a particular challenge. The expansion of the electric grid and the deployment of fast chargers in these remote areas rely on coordinated planning,” he asserted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, CFE<\/strong> is promoting coordinated initiatives<\/strong> between government and private entities to ensure that this transition is carried out in an orderly manner, preventing unnecessary cost increases that could impact the entire electric system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges and Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the quality and safety of chargers, Edgar Moreno from CeNeutral<\/strong> stressed the importance of standardizing installation and maintenance procedures for charging points.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is essential to have a regulatory framework and training standards that enable technicians and engineers to stay up-to-date with the safety and efficiency requirements of charging infrastructure,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Lorenzo Ortego<\/strong> pointed out that an effective self-generation and energy storage<\/strong> strategy could enable residential areas to cover their own electricity demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis not only relieves the load on the electric grid but also brings the sustainability goal closer to more remote areas,”<\/strong> he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead: The Importance of Planning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A successful transition requires structured planning and a long-term vision<\/strong>. According to the National Electric System Development Program (PRODESEN)<\/strong>, it is estimated that by 2038, there will be nearly 6 million electric vehicles in Mexico<\/strong>, marking a significant increase in the country’s energy demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shift is driven not only by electromobility<\/strong> but also by other growing industries, such as nearshoring<\/strong> and data centers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this demand, public and private sectors<\/strong> must work in harmony, promoting renewable energy generation<\/strong> and expanding electric grids<\/strong> nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will ensure a sustainable energy transition<\/strong> that integrates not only electric mobility<\/strong> but also an efficient and resilient energy model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the panelists agreed that the transition to sustainable mobility based on electric energy<\/strong> is a complex task but full of opportunities for development and innovation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With adequate charging infrastructure<\/strong>, distributed generation<\/strong>, and strategic planning<\/strong>, the vision of a future where electric vehicles become the norm could soon become a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
