Let us remember that Mexico is in tenth place among 23 countries with certified lithium reserves, which means that it has two percent of this mineral. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), All the projects in the country for the exploitation of lithium are still in the exploratory phase, although the Sonora mine is the most advanced.
Foreign Minister Ebrard tested the Quantum E3 electric model, in the video he posted on his account on the little bird’s social network, from which he highlighted some aspects “Like its excellent suspension and internal space.”
Likewise, the diplomat also highlighted his colorful pattern on the sides with Mexican and Bolivian allusions; that contrast on two shades of white and a black roof.
“It is a Bolivian company and this company is linked to the idea that Bolivia’s intention is not only to be a lithium producer. His idea is that lithium be national property, that the largest possible section of batteries be processed in Bolivia and even produce vehicles here “said.
The Foreign Minister also boasted that Mexico is “number six in the world in automotive exports”, so they have many opportunities in this area,
In this sense, the diplomat mentioned that the electric vehicle sector is going to have exponential growth, since Mexican regulations establish that by 2030 a large part of its fleet must be electric.
“Bolivian vehicle, Quantum, electric. Available in 2023 in Mexico thanks to the Quantum Alliance and the Mexican company Industrial Power. It will be the cheapest electric vehicle in our country. Congratulations!!” he announced.
It is worth mentioning that Marcelo Ebrard traveled to Bolivia to meet with current President Luis Arce and former President Evo Morales.
