Before hitting the road, it's worth understanding why electric cars are gaining traction in cities like Bogotá and Medellín —and also in municipalities of Cundinamarca and Antioquia.
They do not pollute the air: better quality for everyone.
Fuel savings: lower recurring expenses.
Quiet and comfortable to drive.
Legal benefits in some cities (for example, specific exemptions from peak and plate restrictions).
Charging an electric car is as easy as charging a cellphone, but with specific equipment and points called charging stations.
Main charging methods:
At home: install a wallbox if you have a garage to charge overnight and leave with a full battery.
Public points: shopping centers, gas stations, and supermarkets.
Fast charging on the road: ideal for long trips, reduces waiting times.
Always carry a portable charger and an adapter to avoid surprises.
Tip: a fast charger can reach up to ~80% in 30–40 minutes, depending on the vehicle and the station.
Use apps to locate stations, check availability, and the type of connector. They are key to planning safe routes.
PlugShare: reviews and locations of stations.
Electromaps: ideal for long routes and extensive coverage.
Voltex (Terpel): proprietary stations and real-time availability.
Google Maps: search for “electric car charging stations.”
Check the interactive map below to plan charging stops and see nearby options:
It depends on the point, but on average, a full charge at public stations can cost between $60,000 and $80,000 pesos.
Yes. There are increasingly more stations that allow intercity routes between major cities and nearby destinations. The key is planning.
Charge to 100% before leaving and avoid going below 20% if possible.
Plan stops at fast charging stations according to your range.
Check reviews and availability of each point before arriving.
If traveling to rural areas, ask the accommodation if they offer a charger.
Bring a portable charger and adapters compatible with your vehicle.
When looking for accommodation, confirm if they have a charger available and the type of connector. Many hotels already offer charging for guests or allow temporary solutions to be installed.
Ask: Do you have a charging point in the parking lot, and is it free for guests?
Book in advance if you depend on the availability of the charger.
If there is no charger, look for hotels near public stations.
