From Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Mexico
When travelling from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Mexico: Some of your Saint Vincent and the Grenadines plug types fit in Mexico (A, B). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (110V / 230V → 127V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 127V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz / 60Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Mexico
Mexico runs on 127V/60Hz with Type A and B sockets, the same plugs travellers from the US and Canada are used to.
Grid & history
CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad) operates the national grid. The generation mix is shifting from oil and gas toward solar and wind, but it remains fossil-heavy.
Availability
The grid is generally reliable in cities and resort areas. Coastal regions can see hurricane-related outages from June to November.
Sockets & hotels
Older buildings often have ungrounded Type A sockets, while newer ones use grounded Type B. The 127V supply is slightly higher than the US 120V, but the two are practically interchangeable.

Practical tips
- US plugs work without an adapter.
- European and UK travellers need both a plug adapter and a voltage check on any heating appliance.
