Abstract:Second-Hand (SH) vehicle imports from the US comprise nearly 30 percent of Mexico’s light-duty vehicles. As US electric vehicle (EV) adoption progresses, SH EVs will increasingly enter Mexico (opens in new window). SH EVs could speed vehicle electrification, but also present environmental and economic risks because they are larger and reach retirement faster than new EVs. Understanding future flows of used and new EVs into Mexico’s fleet, and their expected retirement, is needed to understand if SH EVs provide a net benefit. This research uses system dynamics modeling to project future EV adoption and SH vehicle trade between the US and Mexico. Results show EVs will comprise nearly 50% of Mexico’s fleet and up to 99% of SH imports by 2050, and SH EV batteries disproportionately contribute to the stock of spent EV batteries. Policies to ensure SH vehicle trade provides net benefits for the region include import and export battery state-of-health restrictions.
This project results in 3 datasets. The total size of all 3 datasets combined is 255 KB. The .xlsx and .xls file types are Microsoft Excel files, which can be opened with Excel, and other free available spreadsheet software, such as OpenRefine. The file extension .md is among others related to texts and source codes in Markdown markup language. Markdown is a lightweight markup language, to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML) (for more information on .md files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/md-file-extension).

Content Notes:Dataset Note: The report "US-Mexico Second-Hand Electric Vehicle Trade: Battery Circularity and End-of-Life Policy Implications" was created through the use of 3 datasets: "Data from: US-Mexico second-hand electric vehicle trade: Battery circularity and end-of-life policy implications", "Data from: Regionally expanded life cycle assessment", and "Data from: extended use and end of life in the Global South: a transportation justice perspective of US-Mexico second-hand vehicle trade". Each of these resources can be accessed at the following DOIs respectively: https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.x95x69ptn, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.cvdncjtcm, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.sxksn03bw.
