A BMW i3 plugs in at a new public charging station.

Mexico’s first public electric vehicle charging stations were officially opened at four Wal-Mart stores in the Valley of Mexico.

The stations were installed through an alliance of three businesses and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE): BMW Group provided the chargers, Schneider Electric carried out the electrical installation, Wal-Mart provided the space and the cost of the charges and CFE is supplying the power.
