Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) are revolutionizing South America's auto market, with brands like BYD, Gel, and Chery leading the charge. Thousands of EVs are now arriving directly from Shanghai to Peru's Chancay port, a game-changing hub built by Chinese firms that’s supercharging trade between Asia and Latin America. 🌏🚢
This year, EV sales in the region have surged by over 200%, driven by affordable pricing and sleek tech features tailored to urban commuters. The Chancay port, set to become South America’s largest deep-water port by 2026, is already slashing shipping times and costs—making it a "green gateway" for sustainable transport. Analysts say this could shift Latin America’s reliance on traditional automakers, with young consumers #TeamEV leading the trend.
