EV charging provider XCharge will collaborate with FAZT Charging to deploy EV charging stations at multiple locations across Mexico.
FAZT is a fast EV charging specialist backed by FactorEnergia, a Spanish energy company that’s been operating in Mexico since 2017. Supermarket chain Soriana operates more than 780 stores across the country.
The companies plan to bring the first 30 stations into service by the first quarter of 2026. More than 80 additional stations will be added by the end of 2026, bringing the total to 440 operational charging points. The long-term goal is to offer 1,000 charging points by 2030.
The first operational station, called SuperFAZT, is located in front of Soriana’s corporate offices in Monterrey. Other stations in Monterrey and nearby communities are also open. Upcoming openings will be strategically located in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Querétaro and Puebla.
XCharge’s C6EU chargers feature a compact format designed to make them easy to integrate into small spaces. They offer charging power capacities from 60 kW to 200 kW. The companies plan to deploy chargers in the 150-200 kW range along highway corridors or at high-traffic public stations, and chargers with 60-120 kW capacities at shopping centers and other sites with longer dwell times.
The XCharge C6EU range incorporates three different connectors: NACS (used by Tesla and other US OEMs); GBT (common among Chinese brands such as BYD and JAC, which are increasingly common in Latin America); and CCS1, thus ensuring compatibility with virtually any EV.
The FAZT app facilitates station location, payment management, and real-time charging monitoring. A monitoring and management platform enables real-time supervision of the chargers, and automated maintenance logs are designed to ensure reliability and preventive attention.
“FAZT chose to partner with XCharge and Soriana for this rollout because we were looking for strategic allies capable of supporting a fast, scalable, and highly reliable expansion in Mexico,” explains Javier Cuartas Villalobos, CEO of FAZT. “We see XCharge as a long-term technology partner who will help us on the modernization of the country’s energy model to advance towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.”
“We are proud to be the first Mexican retailer to offer our customers fast-charging electric stations,” said Gerardo Díaz Canales, Soriana’s Director of Real Estate Development. “This step not only expands our range of products and services but also reaffirms our commitment to the environment and to the development of an electric mobility ecosystem in Mexico.”
