Mexico unveils its first homegrown electric vehicle, the Olinia Uno, as part of a government-backed project. Multiple outlets report the prototype is revealed on June 7 at Santa Lucía air base near Mexico City, in an event inside a Mexican Air Force hangar. President Claudia Sheinbaum appears at the ceremony and drives the vehicle onto a stage.
The Olinia Uno is described as a compact, six-seat passenger electric car intended for city use. Reported pricing is around 150,000 pesos, with outlets translating that figure to roughly $8,600 (and an alternative estimate around $7,900). Sources also indicate the vehicle uses a small battery and is expected to deliver about 125 kilometers of range, though additional details on performance and charging are not provided in the excerpts.
Overall, the reporting agrees on the vehicle’s name, its prototype reveal date and location, its city-oriented design and seating capacity, and its initial price target, framed as a Mexican government-supported effort to expand domestic electric-car development.
