# Chilean electric vehicle regulation and infrastructure > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/chilean-electric-vehicle-regulation-and-infrastructure > Updated: 2026-09-29T15:56:23.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Chilean authorities have addressed various regulatory and infrastructural aspects of the country’s electric vehicle market. In late September 2026, the National Consumer Service (SERNAC), in coordination with several ministries and the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels (SEC), issued a warning regarding compatibility issues. While most of the market uses Type 2 connectors, vehicles utilizing the GB/T standard—representing less than 5.6% of the market—lack compatible public fast-charging infrastructure, which restricts owners to domestic charging. Concurrently, Chile has implemented a new regulation for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles involving green license plates. Featuring black alphanumeric characters on a green background, these plates serve as a visual identifier for emergency responders, such as Bomberos de Chile, to manage risks like high-voltage systems and battery overheating. The new plates are mandatory for all new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, while existing owners may switch voluntarily. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-29: Chile implements green license plates for electric vehicles Chile has introduced mandatory green license plates for new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to assist emergency responders in identifying high-voltage and battery-related risks. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chile-implements-green-license-plates-for-electric-vehicles ### 2026-09-24: Chilean regulator warns of electric vehicle charging compatibility issues Chile's SERNAC warns of compatibility issues for electric vehicles using GB/T connectors, which lack access to the country's public fast-charging infrastructure, limiting users to home charging. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chilean-regulator-warns-of-electric-vehicle-charging-compatibility-issues --- Cite as: Chilean electric vehicle regulation and infrastructure.
