Segundo Reporte de Monitoreo Eficiencia Energética de Vehículos Livianos en Chile
Summary
The 'Segundo Reporte de Monitoreo Eficiencia Energética de Vehículos Livianos en Chile' analyzes the impact of Law 21.305 on the light vehicle market during 2024 and 2025. It finds that while the average fuel efficiency of sold vehicles reached a historical record of 16.9 [km/lge] in 2025, this progress is heavily reliant on multipliers for plug-in vehicles, as only 45% of importers met their corporate efficiency standards.
Key insights
- The average fuel efficiency of light vehicles sold in Chile reached a historical record of 16.9 [km/lge] in 2025, representing an 8% increase from 2023.
- Corporate compliance with the Law 21.305 efficiency standards is low, with only 45% of importers meeting the required standard in both 2024 and 2025.
- The reported corporate performance of 19.3 [km/lge] in 2025 exceeds the legal standard of 18.8 [km/lge] only because of multipliers for plug-in vehicles; without these incentives, the real performance of sales is 16.9 [km/lge].
- The availability of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) models increased by 200% between 2023 and 2025, rising from 44 to 138 models, while Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models decreased by 32% from 1,710 to 1,168.
- The proportion of plug-in vehicle sales grew from 0.8% in 2023 to 3.2% in 2025, although the share of pure BEV sales remained stagnant at 2.2% between 2024 and 2025.
- The average CO2 emissions of the sold fleet decreased by 3% since 2023, avoiding approximately 21.4 [ktCO2] of emissions since 2024.
- Electric vehicles are 70% more economical per kilometer than internal combustion vehicles, with an estimated cost of CLP$29 per km for BEVs compared to CLP$96 for ICE vehicles.
- The average value of the top 10 best-selling BEVs decreased by 26% between 2023 and 2025, while the top 10 best-selling PHEVs saw a 49% decrease.
