Where to charge an electric car in Paraguay

Driving an electric car in Paraguay no longer depends on having a charger at home. There are 31 charging points that can be pinned on a map, and not one of them sits in a building built for the purpose: they are all inside fuel stations and supermarkets that were already there, on the roads you were taking anyway. This guide lists them, says where they fall and what to check before counting on one.

They come from three sources. Twenty-four from the Evergo map, the largest operator in the country, verified on 10 September 2026. Two from Ruta Verde, the Itaipú Technology Park network. And five from PlugShare, the directory where drivers themselves publish the points they find. They sit across nine brands: Biggie Express, Puma, Petropar, Integral Trading, Copetrol, Petromax, Petrobras, Ecop and Shopping Mapy.

The map

Every point opens the profile of its brand, with the address and its other branches.

Asunción and Greater Asunción: twelve points

Half the network is here, and most of it is Biggie Express: six in Asunción —De las Palmeras, Genaro Romero, Eusebio Lillo in Villa Morra, Mariscal López, Perú and Sargento Gauto—, one on Avenida General Aquino in Luque, one on Acceso Sur in Ñemby, one in downtown Itá and one on Mariscal Estigarribia in San Lorenzo.

The other two: the Puma station at Mariscal López and 26 de Febrero, in San Lorenzo, and Integral Trading on Avenida Sacramento, in Asunción.

That concentration has a practical consequence: inside Greater Asunción it is hard to be far from an option, and outside it the stop has to be planned before leaving.

Route 1, heading south: six stops

It is the best covered corridor outside Central, and it is enough to reach Misiones stopping at places that are natural stops anyway:

• Paraguarí — Puma, on Route PY01.
• Carapeguá — Petropar, Route 1, km 87.
• Caapucú — Copetrol, Route 1, km 142.
• San Ignacio — Petropar, Route 1 at Calle Amanecer.
• Coronel Bogado — Petropar, Route 1 by the access road.
• Ayolas — Petropar, Avenida Arary.

Route 2, heading east: three stops

Leaving Asunción on the PY02 there is one in Ypacaraí —Puma, km 38.5— and another in San José de los Arroyos, the Petromax station on the same road. And at the Piribebuy junction, at km 63, there is a Ruta Verde charger inside the Petropar station: 50 kW, fast charging, one of the first the Itaipú Technology Park installed. Between San José and Ciudad del Este there is no mapped point, and that is some 200 kilometres: the stretch worth planning most carefully.

Alto Paraná and Canindeyú: six points

All three are Puma: Hernandarias, at km 2 of the Supercarretera; Santa Rita, at km 199 of Route 6, which links Ciudad del Este with Encarnación; and Katueté, in Canindeyú. The fourth is the other Ruta Verde charger, at the Petropar station in Juan León Mallorquín, on Route 7.

The other two sit on the Supercarretera running up to Salto del Guairá: one at the Petrobras in Nueva Esperanza and one at the Shopping Mapy in Salto del Guairá — the only point in the country that is neither at a fuel station nor at a supermarket.

Route 3, heading north: two

Puma in San Estanislao, and the Integral Trading on Route 3, both in San Estanislao —Santaní— a little over a kilometre apart. It is the last stop before the country opens up.

Concepción and the Chaco: two points that change the map

Until recently there was nothing north of Santaní or west of the Paraguay river. Now there are two: the Integral Trading in Yby Yaú, in Concepción, at the junction towards Pedro Juan Caballero; and the Ecop in Loma Plata, in the central Chaco, the first and only point west of the river. The Yby Yaú one is among the best equipped in the country: CCS2, CHAdeMO and three-phase charging.

Pedro Juan Caballero is still uncovered — several points are listed there that could not be pinned yet — and so is the Transchaco road west of Loma Plata.

Before you leave

Confirm the point before making a detour. These chargers are installed and moved by a private operator, and one can go out of service without notice. If you are driving out of your way to charge, call the place first.

They are inside a business. The charger has no opening hours of its own: it depends on the place hosting it. A roadside fuel station usually opens far longer than a neighbourhood supermarket.

Ask about the connector and the power rating. Not every point charges at the same speed or takes the same plug, and that changes how long the stop lasts.

What is not on the map yet

Ruta Verde has two more chargers on Route 2, in Caaguazú and Coronel Oviedo, inside fuel stations in each town. The Itaipú Technology Park did not say which ones, so it is worth asking when you get there.

And in Ciudad del Este, at km 3.5, the Itaipú Administrative Centre has a charger open to the public, with a solar roof and several connector types.

The public network is not there yet either: ANDE tendered 30 fast chargers of 150 kW and the process is still under evaluation. Once it is settled, it will be the largest jump the country network has taken.

In the meantime, charging in Paraguay runs on what was already by the road: a fuel station, a supermarket, a shop that decided to install a charger. It is not much, but it is enough to move around the central corridor and drive south.

For a longer trip, the guide to Paraguay’s fuel stations covers which brand dominates each road — the same ones hosting almost all of these chargers.
