Country guide

Charging Your Electric Vehicle in Uruguay

Uruguay has 184 public charging points. Of these, 16 offer 150 kW or faster charging, and 101 provide between 50 kW and 149 kW. Montevideo has the most chargers, followed by Punta Del Este and Paysandu. Drivers can expect a mix of charging speeds and operators across the country.

EV Charging Infrastructure

Uruguay's charging network features 184 public stations. Seventeen percent of these (16 stations) are considered fast, rated at 150 kW or above. Another 55% (101 stations) fall into the 50-149 kW category, suitable for quicker top-ups. The distribution is uneven, with 26 chargers in Montevideo, 11 in Punta Del Este, and fewer in smaller cities like Paysandu (6) and Colonia Valdense (5).

Operators and Connectors

Drivers will encounter charging stations operated by various entities. While specific network details vary, expect to find a mix of local and potentially international providers. The most common connector type in Uruguay is the Type 2 (Mennekes) for AC charging. For DC fast charging, CCS (Combined Charging System) is becoming more prevalent, though CHAdeMO may also be present on older installations.

Pricing and Incentives

Information on specific charging costs per kWh or session is not standardized nationally. Pricing typically depends on the network operator, charging speed, and location. Home charging rates are generally lower than public charging. Uruguay does not currently have widespread country-specific government incentives for public charging infrastructure use. Any available incentives would likely be general, encouraging EV adoption, rather than direct charging subsidies.

Practical Tips for Drivers

For drivers new to Uruguay, it's advisable to research charging availability in your intended travel areas before departing. Downloading apps for the most common charging networks can be helpful. Carrying a universal adapter or ensuring your vehicle's cable is compatible with Type 2 and CCS connectors will provide the most flexibility.
