Colombia, leading on EVs in Latin America

"Colombia [recently] reached an important milestone in the country’s race towards electrifying its transport sector. With the entry of 406 new electric buses into Bogotá’s public transport system, its fleet reached 1,061 vehicles, and thus crowned the capital as the city with the largest electric bus network in the world outside China . . . Since 2018, the country has recorded the highest number of all-electric vehicle sales in Latin America, with a total of 5,025 units across consumer, public transport and commercial fleets . . . Beyond Bogotá, the cities of Medellín and Cali have upped their electric fleets, adding 69 and 36 electric buses to their respective public transport systems . . . The national government pledged to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51% by 2030, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Transport will play an important role."
