Chile has been a leader in adopting new technologies in Latin America, with the highest per-capita deployment of solar and a comprehensive network for electric vehicles (EVs). Despite lagging in passenger EV adoption, the country saw a significant increase in EV sales after a rise in gasoline prices due to Trump's war in Iran. EV sales in Chile have grown significantly, with the market shifting from BEV-heavy to near parity between BEVs and PHEVs. This rapid growth in EV sales has been unique to Chile compared to other countries in the region. The increase in electric vehicle adoption in Chile has been significant, with Changan leading in April thanks to its affordable Cs55 PHEV. BYD and Tesla also hold top positions in the market. Chile has comprehensive efficiency regulations for vehicles, with stricter requirements coming in 2027 and 2029 for different categories. The availability of hyper-affordable ICEV models in Chile has slowed the transition to electric vehicles. Despite this, the Chilean market remains competitive and diverse in terms of EV models available. Chile's vehicle market ecosystem is competitive with affordable ICEV models, positioning the country to adopt EVs on a larger scale in the future. Despite a decline in ICEV sales, Chile has been a leader in electric bus adoption. The country may switch from gas and diesel to electrons due to economic incentives and energy independence from solar farms. Chile is on track to potentially become the first country in the region where combustion vehicle sales are falling despite total sales growing.
