In Uruguay’s ambition to transition towards electric vehicles and become a regional leader, Cenex shared its experience in the UK and other markets of e-mobility policies and chargepoint infrastructure deployment over a series of digital workshops.

Cenex built an internal team of experts in the topics of e-mobility policies and chargepoint infrastructure and engaged with the British Embassy in Montevideo (capital of Uruguay) and Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mining of Uruguay (MIEM) to agree the specific topic of the four workshops.
