Electromovilidad en el transporte público menor

The report evaluates the implementation of the MTE and +TE programs, which introduced 405 electric vehicles across 10 Chilean regions to modernize minor public transport. Key findings include an average economic saving of over 3 million pesos per beneficiary and a positive shift in driver and citizen perceptions of electric vehicle technology. While the programs successfully addressed gender gaps and demonstrated operational viability for trips under 300 km daily, challenges remain regarding residential charger installation delays, digital gaps among older drivers, and initial distrust regarding battery autonomy.

• The MTE and +TE programs introduced 405 electric vehicles (EVs) across 10 regions of Chile, facilitating fleet renewal and the development of local operational capacities.
• Beneficiaries experienced an average economic saving of more than 3 million pesos due to the lower operating costs of electric vehicles.
• The programs positively influenced the gender gap in the sector; specifically, the +TE pilot achieved 40% female participation in the awarding of electric collective taxis.
• Electric vehicles are operationally viable for minor public transport in urban settings, as drivers typically do not exceed 300 km of daily travel and can rely on residential chargers.
• Public perception of electric mobility is significantly more positive in cities where the programs were implemented compared to cities without them, reducing myths about autonomy and performance.
• Key barriers to the mass adoption of electric vehicles include delays in connecting residential chargers, digital gaps among drivers (with an average age of 57), and initial distrust regarding autonomy and after-sales service.
• The programs stimulated a regional ecosystem by strengthening specialized human capital, after-sales services, spare parts stock, and the availability of green credit instruments from financial institutions.
