- Chevrolet is offering free EV charging at its dealership network throughout Peru to buyers of plug-in models including the Captiva and Spark EUV.
- GM Peru installed charging points at dealerships as part of its launch plan, with stations accessible during regular business hours, per Marketing Manager Melisa Black.
- Peru's EV market grew more than 86 percent in the first half of the year, with GM selling 8,285 plug-in Chevrolets in the country during that period.
- The free chargers are currently available in major Peruvian cities including Lima, Arequipa, Cajamarca, Lambayeque, and La Libertad, according to GM Authority.
- GM is simultaneously launching the Cadillac brand in South America's largest car market as part of a broader Latin American EV expansion that includes more affordable, sometimes Chinese-derived models.
Why it matters: GM is leveraging its existing dealership footprint to solve Peru's thin public charging network, and 8,285 plug-in sales in six months proves demand is real — but the program hands GM-controlled real estate a gatekeeper role over drivers' energy access, a concern the article flags about dealership-driven charging models.
