In 2025, Colombia officially adopted a unified national standard for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This standard ensures that all new charging stations, whether public or private, meet consistent technical requirements for connectors, voltage, and safety protocols.
The government expects this initiative to accelerate EV adoption by providing drivers with a reliable and user-friendly charging network. Currently, cities like Bogotá and Medellín are the primary focus for initial deployment, while highways and regional hubs will follow.
Industry experts believe that standardization will attract global EV manufacturers and technology providers to Colombia, fostering a more competitive and comprehensive charging ecosystem. Additionally, this policy encourages innovation, such as smart charging management and energy-efficient solutions, contributing to Colombia’s sustainable mobility goals.
