Latin America just proved it's serious about electric vehicles, breaking records with over 110,000 EVs sold in the last three months of 2025 alone.
The achievement marks a 24% jump from previous quarterly records and pushes the region's annual EV sales past 350,000 units for the year. Market share climbed to 5.6%, up from just 4% the year before, showing steady momentum across diverse economies.
Battery electric vehicles drove most of the growth, surging 47% compared to the previous year. Plug-in hybrids grew more modestly at 5%, though that slowdown traces mainly to Mexico's unique market conditions rather than a broader trend.
Brazil and Mexico led the charge, accounting for 80% of regional sales. But the real excitement is happening in smaller markets that are moving even faster.
The Ripple Effect

Uruguay and Costa Rica are emerging as unlikely EV champions, reaching 23% and 19% battery electric market share respectively in the fourth quarter. These countries prove you don't need to be massive or manufacturing powerhouse to lead the transition.
Colombia's story shows how quickly momentum can build. The country became the third in Latin America to surpass 10% EV market share, with sales doubling year over year.
Ecuador surged nearly 200% in growth, while Paraguay and Uruguay both topped 100% increases. These aren't just statistics, they're families breathing cleaner air and spending less on fuel while their countries reduce oil dependence.
Brazil hit a milestone in December, reaching 10% market share for the first time. Local manufacturing from BYD and GWM means more jobs alongside cleaner transportation.
In Colombia, EVs now match traditional vehicle prices across most categories. The country's most affordable midsize SUV regardless of engine type is now electric, priced around $26,000.
The trend shows leading countries pulling further ahead rather than lagging markets catching up, suggesting successful policies and infrastructure in places like Uruguay could serve as blueprints. With affordable electricity, improving charging networks, and competitive pricing, the region is building its own path to sustainable transportation.
Latin America's electric vehicle revolution is accelerating, and 2026 looks even brighter.
