The new charging points are to be installed at at least 20 locations such as restaurants, shopping centres, hotels and offices. These new charging points will be in addition to the more than 500 that are already part of the VEMO network and to which BMW Group Mexico customers will have access.
‘In the year in which we celebrate our 30th anniversary in Mexico, we are also celebrating a decade of sales of pure electric vehicles in our country. With eleven models from BMW, Mini and BMW Motorrad, we are the premium company with the largest range of battery-powered models, whether purely electric or plug-in hybrid,’ said Diego Camargo, CEO of BMW Group Mexico.
The alliance with VEMO in Mexico is part of an investment totalling 724,000 euros that the BMW Group has made in Latin America to expand the range of charging stations in the region. The sum will be invested in a total of 251 new charging stations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama and Peru.
To celebrate the partnership, every customer who buys a BMW i4 will receive free electricity for a distance of 8,000 kilometres between August and December as an energy credit that can be charged throughout the VEMO network. In addition, customers who purchase their BMW and MINI vehicles from October onwards will receive VEMO energy credits included in the purchase price of the vehicle.
Roberto Rocha, co-founder and CEO of VEMO, said: “This agreement strengthens the expansion plan of VEMO’s public charging network, which is the most robust and reliable in Mexico. We are excited to partner with BMW Group Mexico to jointly drive the development of electric mobility in Mexico. We are determined to lead this transformation towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility.”
