Overview
- The government, which showed first video images Wednesday, set June 7 for the public reveal of Olinia's working prototype.
- Production is planned for 2027 with an initial capacity of about 20,000 vehicles a year and a goal of 50,000 within four years.
- The compact EV is aimed at city travel with a top speed near 50 km/h and charging from a standard household outlet.
- Project leads say a new Mexican standard is needed because the minivehicle does not fit current car or motorcycle categories.
- Public institutions including IPN, TecNM and UNAM are involved, and the battery plan targets second-life home storage before recycling in Sonora.
