description Climate change is an important phenomenon causing significant issues and concerns worldwide. As a consequence, many countries are making efforts to meet the goals proposed in the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper explores the impact of electric vehicles on the decarbonization process in Mexico. Some scenarios are studied to propose an extension of the current charging stations network. These scenarios are modeled using a mathematical model that optimizes the location of such stations considering the origin-destination information available, a particular type of station, and different vehicle types and covered distances. The decarbonization impact is calculated based on the savings in CO2 emissions for the profile of electric energy generation in Mexico. The results for each scenario show that relevant coverage in the country can be achieved with a mild increase in the number of stations in strategic locations and with a benefit in the decarbonization effect.
