Mexico, Sep. 19 (Notimex).- Electric vehicles can be a benefit for the environment, having zero emissions of greenhouse gases or any other contaminating particle, which prevents contributing to climate change. The car sales platform Carmatch.mx explained in a statement that these cars are gaining popularity worldwide, although in Mexico their adoption is proceeding at a slow pace, in terms of using transport with clean technologies. According to the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA, for its acronym in Spanish), of the more than 114 thousand units that were marketed during May of this year, only 4668 were hybrid and 18 were electric cars. In addition, the options to buy these models are scarce, in addition to the costs may be higher compared to traditional units, and the lack of infrastructure to facilitate their adoption. In that sense, the platform says that some of the options that exist in are the Zacua M2, self designed and produced by Mexicans, with a PMSM electric motor, a battery with a life of three thousand cycles (eight years), a speed of 95 kilometers per hour (km / hr), with a list price of 569 thousand pesos. While the Renault Twizy provides a unique energy solution for city life, since it is charged in just 3.5 hours using a domestic power point with an adapter, and has a driving range of 100 km in urban cycle, with a price of 319 thousand 300 pesos. Another of the electric vehicles is the Nissan Leaf, which has great acceptance in Mexico, and has a lithium-ion battery that provides a range of 200 km, with a price of 499 thousand 900 pesos. While the Chevrolet Bolt EV has a function to reduce the speed from the steering wheel, which avoids losing energy when pressing the brake pedal and helps conserve electricity for longer trips, and can be purchased in 750 thousand pesos. Carmatch also added Tesla Model 3to the list, of 35 thousand dollars with previous order; as well as the S model, with a cost of one million 636 thousand pesos, while the X model, an all-terrain sports car, is worth one million 774 thousand pesos. The BMW i3 is the first vehicle designed in a sustainable way from its development to manufacturing, with an initial investment cost of 889 thousand 900 pesos. Finally, it pointed out that the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE, for its acronym in Spanish) declared that 60 million pesos will be invested to install power stations in 2018, and in Mexico there are approximately 1,500 of these charging points, although it is estimated that this year will close with 100 more power stations.
