Key Trends in the Market

An electric vehicle (EV) can be defined as a vehicle that is powered by an electric motor that uses battery power. Meanwhile, a  plug-in hybrid electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that can be powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor using battery power. Electric vehicles boast lower maintenance and running costs and have zero CO2 emissions.

  • One of the key South America electric vehicles market trends includes the introduction of favourable government initiatives aimed at promoting sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and the phase-out of internal combustion engines (ICEs). For instance, Colombia aims to increase zero-emission urban bus sales to 10% by 2025 and 100% by 2035.
  • Similarly, in Costa Rica, by 2050, 100% of new light vehicle sales and buses and taxis are anticipated to be zero-emission. Governments in the region are also offering financial incentives to reduce costs associated with purchasing, operating, and maintaining electric vehicles, batteries, and equipment.
  • Growing consumer awareness regarding sustainability, coupled with the rising concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, propels the South America electric vehicles market demand. Besides, surging investments in electric vehicle production by leading automotive companies in the region are further fuelling the market expansion.
  • Approximately 65% of the world's lithium reserves are found in Latin American countries like Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, among others. Hence, the increasing manufacturing and export activities of EVs and lithium batteries are expected to positively influence the South America electric vehicles market growth in the forecast period.

Market Analysis

Based on propulsion type, the market is segmented into battery electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, plug-in electric vehicle, and fuel cell electric vehicle. On the basis of vehicle drive type, the market can be divided into front wheel drive (FWD), rear wheel drive (RWD), and all wheel drive (AWD).

Based on vehicle type, the South America electric vehicles market segmentation includes two-wheeler, passenger cars, and commercial vehicle.

A significant portion of passengers in Latin America are dependent on public transport, which offers the possibility of the deployment of electric public transport fleets in an economically feasible manner.

For instance, the capital of Chile, Santiago, is attempting to completely electrify its transit network, and offer incentives for electric buses in the bus tenders through initiatives such as Euro VI. Meanwhile, Colombia aims to electrify its entire mass transportation systems and mandate that local governments provide funding for electrification projects by 2035. Such initiatives and government policies drive the commercial electric vehicle market demand in South America.
