N2 - The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has been increasing around the world in recent years. EVs present many advantages for sustainability. However, they have some drawbacks, including the high upfront cost, low range of some models and the availability of chargers. Hence, traveling long distances might be compromising for EVs. In this paper, we present a simulation-based study to analyze the charging capacity between two main cities in Mexico. Although the sales of EVs in Mexico are increasing, the number of this type of vehicles in the roads is relatively very low. In consequence, the charging infrastructure might not be sufficient to complete long trips given the large extension of the country. The modeling approach proposed in this paper helps identifying areas where new charging stations are needed to complete long trips. Furthermore, the results reveal a high correlation in the congestion of neighboring charging stations.
