Electric mobility expansion in Buenos Aires and Rosario

Overview

The Government of the City of Buenos Aires continues to promote the modernization of its taxi fleet through electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Supported by Banco Ciudad, drivers can access loans of up to $28 million at a fixed 20% annual rate to cover up to 70% of vehicle costs. These electric units offer operating costs roughly 20% of gasoline or CNG alternatives and benefit from permanent 100% patent tax exemptions.

In Rosario, electric mobility efforts have expanded beyond the Line K trolleybus fleet—which now includes 17 converted units—into the taxi sector. The city has officially introduced its first 100% electric taxi, operated by driver José Antonio Iantosca, which boasts a declared autonomy of 385 kilometers per charge. This follows the recent addition of a plug-in hybrid vehicle to the local remise service.

To support this transition, the Government of Santa Fe has established a 4,000 million peso credit line to provide subsidized rates for fleet renewal. Municipal reports indicate that ten additional electric vehicles are expected to enter service shortly, with 15 more units currently under study or in the process of being awarded. These initiatives align with the Rosario 2030 Local Climate Action Plan and provincial laws aimed at promoting electric vehicle industrialization.
