Key Figures
| Segment | Positions | Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Public DC fast charging | 1,733 | 497 |
| Public AC charging | 3,150 | 1,333 |
| Private residential AC | 46,399 | — |

Connector Mix
- Public DC: GB/T leads with 1,031 positions, followed by CCS1 with 407 and NACS with 295.
- Public AC: J1772 leads with 1,932 positions, ahead of NACS with 1,155 and GB/T with 63.
- Home charging accounts for about 74% of all connections counted.
On sales, EMA members reported 11,017 battery EVs, 17,003 plug-in hybrids and 210 range-extended EVs in Q3 2026, after 24,831 units in Q1 and 28,457 in Q2. The barometer notes that public DC locations are now reported in aggregate because many sites offer several standards.
What It Means
Mexico’s network is still mostly a home-charging market, and public fast charging remains thin at 1,733 positions nationwide. The connector split is unusual for North America: GB/T is the most common public DC plug, reflecting the brands now selling in Mexico, while J1772 still dominates AC. Distributors serving Mexico should plan stock for several standards rather than one. For J1772 vehicles, a portable unit such as the EV-AC04001U 40A J1772 charger is one option; check local plug type, voltage and certification first.
