Can You Drive to Canc\u00fan From the United States?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Verify Voltage and Frequency on Your Devices?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It mostly depends on the device that you are using. Most electric devices have labels on the device itself, somewhere. You need to look it over to find the voltage and frequency requirements for the device.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of these devices will also have the wattage listed as well. This is normally not a concern as long as your voltage and frequency requirements match. If the label is rubbed off or illegible, you can always check the box in which the device came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you no longer have the box and the illegible label, you will have to look up the device online. Most electronics manufacturers have their specs listed for each device on their website. You can find all of the information that you need there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t know what device you have, in terms of model or brand, you probably shouldn\u2019t bring it along if you are traveling to Mexico from somewhere other than the United States or Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are coming from Europe, your devices aren\u2019t going to plug into outlets in Mexico anyway, as they are designed like the outlets you find in the US and Japan. The adapter you purchase should also take care of the voltage dip, but it’s always safe to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never attempt to force a plug from another country into an outlet it is not designed for. Not only do you risk an electric shock, but it is also possible to start an electric fire\u2014not something you want to do anywhere you are traveling in a foreign country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does Mexico Use Clean Energy as Well?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Depending on where you stay throughout Mexico, there are places where renewable energy sources are the primary power supply for a given building. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to worry about using a different kind of plug. So long as you have the necessary adapter, you should be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you run across renewable energy sources in Mexico, everything stays the same, and it isn\u2019t necessary to make any adjustments. It simply means that the primary power source comes from a renewable energy source rather than coal or gas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the Electrical Equipment in Mexico the Same Across the Country?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The entire country of Mexico uses Type A and Type B power outlets. Even the northeastern tip of South America uses Type A and Type B. You have to get down into South America before you start finding Type N, Type K, Type C, Type E, and Type F power outlets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So long as you are in Mexico, you should expect the same type of outlet you will find in the United States and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Travelers from the United States and Japan have little to worry about or change when charging or powering their electronic devices. You should consider bringing a Type A to B adapter. However, just in case you only have Type A outlets where you are at.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For everyone else, pay close attention to the frequency requirements of your device and purchase an adapter to drop the voltage and supply the right plug-in format for your device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
