EV drivers still won’t find dedicated chargers at MVD
Local EV forums in Uruguay and frequent‑flyer threads agree: Carrasco International (T1) currently has no clearly marked, dedicated EV charging stations in its public parking next to the terminal. Drivers talk about city and highway chargers around Montevideo instead, not about plugging in at the airport itself. Plan on arriving with enough battery to handle both the trip to MVD and a detour to a city charger afterward.
The main car parks sit directly next to the T1 terminal, so walking time from your space to the check‑in desks is roughly 3–5 minutes, but you’re only parking, not charging. The airport’s own information and local EV maps don’t list Type 2, CCS, or CHAdeMO units in these lots. If anything changes, it tends to surface first on Uruguay EV Facebook groups and Reddit threads, not on the airport site.
Pricing at MVD’s parking runs on a standard hourly and daily system, but the lack of on‑site charging means you’re paying normal car-park rates with zero energy top‑up included. Public DC fast chargers mentioned in Montevideo discussions sit in the city, not at Camino Carrasco km 19, where the airport stands. If you leave the car here for several days, assume the battery returns at the same state of charge you arrived with.
For now, treat MVD as “park only” and handle charging before or after your flight in Montevideo or along Route 101. Before you drive out, check the latest posts in r/uruguay and local EV app maps for new points; screenshot them over Wi‑Fi at home, then head to T1 knowing exactly which charger you’ll use once you’re back on the road.
