On July 13, 2026, DiDi announced an investment plan of more than US$57 million to boost the adoption of electric vehicles in Mexico. The strategy aims to add 100,000 vehicles to its platform by 2030, develop charging infrastructure, and make electric mobility services more accessible to local drivers.
The program aims to reduce operating costs for driver-partners and position Mexico as one of the company’s strategic markets for the electrification of transportation in Latin America.
Partnering with Chinese automakers to advance green mobility layout
As part of this initiative, DiDi has formed partnerships with Chinese manufacturers BYD and JAC to offer electric vehicles at more affordable prices. According to Juan Andres Panama, CEO of DiDi Mexico and Latin America, the company also held talks with automakers in the United States and Europe; however, so far only Chinese companies have agreed to participate in the project.
Building charging networks to solve core challenges for electric mobility
In addition to supplying vehicles, the plan targets one of the main challenges for electric mobility in Mexico: insufficient charging infrastructure. Through cooperation with local Mexican companies VEMO and One Car Now, DiDi is expanding regional charging networks and improving supporting services for electric vehicles.
Phased implementation for nationwide market expansion
The company expects the program’s implementation to proceed gradually.
The first phase of the plan will be implemented in the country’s three major cities. Subsequently, DiDi will assess market demand to determine whether to expand the model to other regions of Mexico.
