Copec Voltex: how it works, the price per kWh, the app and where to find chargers in Chile

Copec Voltex is the electric mobility brand of Chilean fuel retailer Copec and the country's largest public charging network. According to the public charger registry run by the SEC (Chile's electricity and fuels regulator) and the Ministry of Energy, checked on 10 November 2026, it has 269 public sites in all 16 regions, with 983 connectors, and 124 of those sites offer direct current (DC) fast charging.

Copec does not publish a price list on its website: its subscription page only says that rates vary with charging power. The figures in this guide are the ones the company reports for each connector to the SEC's interoperability platform: CLP 290 to 415 per kWh for slow (AC) charging and CLP 340 to 495 per kWh for fast (DC) charging. With the CLP 7,990 monthly plan, every charge is 15% cheaper.

How Copec Voltex works

Copec Voltex public charging runs through the Copec app, in its «Copec Voltex» section. There you find the charger, check each connector's power and status, start the session and pay with the registered card. For long trips, Copec also offers a route planner that shows the chargers along the way.

In the public registry, the Copec Voltex points that report a payment method list only «APP», both for paying and for starting the charge. There are no RFID cards or direct card payment at the charger, unlike Enel X Way, which reports credit card, app and subscription payments, and activation by app, RFID or QR code.

  • Step 1: download the Copec app and register a credit, debit or prepaid card issued in Chile.
  • Step 2: open «Copec Voltex» and pick the charger on the map, checking the connector's power.
  • Step 3: plug the cable into the car and start the session from the app.
  • Step 4: stop the charge from the app; you pay for the kWh delivered.
  • Remote assistance: Copec asks drivers not to press the emergency button and to call 800 200 354.

Before setting off, check how fast your car can charge. Copec Voltex's own guide notes that speed depends on battery temperature, the state of charge on arrival (power drops above 80%), the car's limit and the charger type: a car that accepts 50 kW will not charge faster on a 150 kW unit. How Chile compares with the rest of the region in chargers per car is covered in our report on Latin America passing one million electric cars.

How much a kWh costs at Copec Voltex

In the registry, Copec Voltex reports an energy rate in Chilean pesos per kWh, with no fixed fee and no per-minute charge. The figure changes with the connector's power and, in some cases, with the location. This is how the rates reported for its connectors break down:

Connector typeMost common rateReported rangeConnectors at the most common rate
AC up to 7.4 kWCLP 315/kWhCLP 315 to 41590
AC above 7.4 and up to 22 kWCLP 415/kWhCLP 290 to 440110

In money terms: 40 kWh, about 250 km in a car that uses some 16 kWh per 100 km, costs CLP 12,600 on a CLP 315 AC charger, CLP 18,000 on a CLP 450 fast charger and CLP 19,800 on a CLP 495 one. At home, with distributor CGE's residential kWh at CLP 255.27 in October 2026, the same energy costs CLP 10,211. Charging in apartment buildings, where the price is usually the residential one, is explained in our guide to EV chargers in condominiums.

The CLP 7,990 subscription plan

The Copec Voltex subscription plan costs CLP 7,990 a month, is activated in the app in under a minute, has no minimum term and gives a 15% discount on every charge on the public network, plus Full loyalty points. When does it pay? At the CLP 495 DC rate the discount is CLP 74.25 per kWh, so the plan pays for itself from about 108 kWh a month. At CLP 450, from about 118 kWh.

Drivers who charge almost always at home and use the network only on trips will rarely reach those volumes; for ride-hailing drivers, taxis or fleets that charge on the street, the plan pays off quickly.

At home: charger, installation and the TE6

For homes, Copec Voltex sells the charger with installation included through the Copec Flux quote tool; it cannot be bought online. The process has six stages: contact, site visit, quote, installation, certification with the SEC through the TE6 declaration, and handover. In its online store, the «Standard Residential Installation» item was listed at CLP 990,000 on 10 November 2026; what each project includes is defined during the site visit.

Copec Voltex Smart Home is a load manager that measures the home's consumption in real time and lowers the charger's power so as not to exceed the grid connection's capacity. According to the company, it lets you charge as fast as possible without asking the distributor for more capacity. For apartment buildings, Copec Voltex offers a community solution in which each user pays for charging in the app and the company reimburses the energy to the building, with no impact on service charges.
