The Soriana Organization and FAZT inaugurated four ultra-fast charging stations in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and three more are expected to open in the coming days: in Cuernavaca, Morelos; Valle de Bravo, State of Mexico; and Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila.
According to information shared by Soriana in a statement, this is part of a strategic alliance between the two companies to build the largest network of ultra-fast charging stations in Mexico.
The goal is for customers to recharge their electric vehicles while shopping, as the charging stations are located in the retail store’s parking lot.
“We are proud to be the first Mexican retailer to offer our customers fast-charging electric stations. This step not only expands our range of products and services, but also reaffirms our commitment to the environment and the development of an electric mobility ecosystem in Mexico,” emphasized Gerardo Díaz Canales, Director of Real Estate Development at Soriana.
The executive also emphasized the company’s commitment to the future of mobility in Mexico.
“With the opening of 50 ultra-fast charging stations across the country by the end of 2025, Soriana and FAZT will be at the forefront of a paradigm shift in mobility, improving air quality and promoting a cleaner future for all,” he said.
Meanwhile, Javier Cuartas , CEO of FAZT, highlighted the importance of this alliance for both companies and Mexico.
“The partnership with Soriana allows us to build the largest network of ultra-fast charging stations in Mexico, giving all Mexicans the option to transition to electric mobility by having access to a broad, safe, and reliable public charging network, placing Mexico at the forefront of electric vehicle charging infrastructure,” he emphasized.
Meanwhile, Álvaro Oliver , CEO of FAZT, noted that the partnership between the two companies represents an opportunity to expand the country’s electrical infrastructure.
Users will be able to pay for their top-up through the FAZT mobile app.
With the expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to be reduced by up to 70% .
According to IQAir ‘s 2024 World Air Quality Report , Mexico is the second country with the worst air quality in Latin America, with pollution levels three to five times higher than the safe limits established by the World Health Organization (WHO) .
According to the Electro Mobility Association (EMA) portal , there are 34,694 residential charging stations and 3,321 public charging stations in Mexico , so this alliance will help with the expansion and reinforcement of this type of infrastructure in the country.
