Electromovilidad en el transporte público menor

This report evaluates the results and impacts of two electric mobility programs in Chile, "Mi Taxi Eléctrico" (MTE) and "Más Transporte Eléctrico" (+TE), implemented by the Agencia de Sostenibilidad Energética (AgenciaSE). The programs aimed to modernize minor public transport by replacing combustion vehicles with electric ones, introducing 405 electric vehicles across 10 regions. The study finds that the transition is technically and economically viable for urban taxi drivers, who typically travel under 300 km daily, and that direct exposure to these vehicles improves public perception of electric mobility.

• The 'Mi Taxi Eléctrico' (MTE) and 'Más Transporte Eléctrico' (+TE) programs introduced 405 electric vehicles (EVs) across 10 regions of Chile to modernize minor public transport and reduce fossil fuel dependency.
• Beneficiaries of the programs experienced an average economic saving of over 3 million Chilean pesos due to the lower operating costs of electric vehicles.
• The programs successfully addressed gender gaps in the sector; specifically, the +TE pilot achieved 40% female participation in the awarding of electric collective taxis, compared to a general female participation rate of 0.9% in the collective taxi segment.
• The transition to electric mobility faces several barriers, including delays in connecting residential chargers, distrust regarding vehicle autonomy and after-sales service, and digital gaps among drivers, who have an average age of 57 years.
• Direct exposure to electric taxis significantly improves public perception. In cities where the programs were implemented, users reported more positive views on affordability, charger availability, autonomy, power, comfort, and environmental benefits.
• The programs stimulated a regional ecosystem for electric mobility, including the development of specialized human capital, after-sales services, spare parts stock, charging infrastructure, and the introduction of green credit instruments by financial institutions.
