CELSA and StarCharge Join Forces to Boost Fast Charging Infrastructure in Colombia
Electric vehicle adoption in Colombia is picking up serious momentum, and with that comes the urgent need to build out the charging infrastructure to keep pace.
In this context, CELSA—a Colombian company with over 50 years of experience in electrical solutions—has forged a strategic partnership with StarCharge, a global manufacturer of EV charging equipment and intelligent energy solutions. Together, they’re bringing fast-charging solutions to the local market that blend top-tier technology, deep local expertise, and nationwide technical support.

Players with a Track Record in Electric Mobility
CELSA is no newcomer to Colombia’s EV ecosystem. The company has already been actively involved in developing the country’s charging network—installing fast-charging points on key routes like the corridor between Valle del Cauca and the Coffee Triangle, including a strategic stop at the transport terminal in Tuluá, which sits on the main artery connecting the center of Valle del Cauca to the Coffee Triangle and Bogotá.
StarCharge, for its part, brings serious weight as a global leader in EV charger manufacturing and network operations. Its portfolio runs the gamut from residential and commercial charging setups to energy storage systems, microgrids, virtual power plants, and comprehensive energy management platforms.
This alliance marks a major step forward for electric mobility in Colombia. By combining StarCharge‘s advanced technology with CELSA‘s local know-how and nationwide service network, they’re positioned to deliver fast-charging solutions tailored specifically to the Colombian market—all while meeting international standards for quality, efficiency, and reliability.
With an 11,500 square meter production plant and export reach to 11 Latin American countries, CELSA brings its intimate understanding of the local market, its broad distribution network, and its ability to offer technical support just about anywhere in the country.
Meanwhile, StarCharge provides the cutting-edge fast-charging hardware, deep experience in intelligent energy systems, and the global backing that comes with being a world-class supplier.
Expected Impact and Projections
Through this alliance, CELSA and StarCharge aim to accelerate EV adoption across Colombia by installing fast-charging stations at strategic locations nationwide—cutting down charging times and giving drivers greater peace of mind on the road.
The combination of cutting-edge technology, deep local experience, and coast-to-coast support positions this partnership as a key driver of the energy transition in the transport sector.
Colombia’s fast-charging market holds massive growth potential. The recent Presidential Resolution unifying EV charging station regulations, along with the technical standards and interoperability requirements laid out in the new framework, are creating a favorable environment for infrastructure expansion.
CELSA and StarCharge are gearing up to be major players in that expansion, delivering solutions that fuse the best of global innovation with on-the-ground market knowledge and close customer support.
With more than five decades of experience in Colombia’s electrical sector and the firepower of a global technology partner behind it, CELSA is doubling down on its commitment to sustainable mobility. It’s positioning itself as a strategic ally for companies, government agencies, and everyday users who are betting on a cleaner, more efficient future for transportation.
A Year 2026 of Consolidation for Mobility
The Latam Mobility 2026 Tour will arrive in Santiago, Chile, on August 25, bringing together experts and strategic players to further strengthen the sustainable mobility ecosystem in the region.
The tour will end in Mexico City on October 12 and 13, alongside the Climate Economy Forum, in a meeting that will bring together sector leaders to continue driving the transition toward more efficient, sustainable, low‑emission transportation systems in Latin America.
The transition is already underway. The Latam Mobility 2026 Tour will be the meeting point to accelerate decisions, connect key players, and collaboratively build sustainable mobility in Latin America.
