Chile’s Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels (SEC) has updated the technical instruction that governs how public EV chargers share data with the national interoperability system. Exempt Resolution No. 41,458, dated 19 August 2026, was published in the Diario Oficial on 23 September 2026 and applies from that date. It revises the instruction first approved in September 2024, which took effect on 17 November 2024 together with the SEC’s interoperability platform.
Key Takeaways
- SEC Exempt Resolution No. 41,458 was published in Chile’s Diario Oficial on 23 September 2026.
- It updates the 2024 interoperability instruction and applies from publication.
- Operators must report connector availability and energy delivered as SEC specifies.
- OCPP-ready hardware simplifies compliance with the reporting duties.
What Changes
The update follows working sessions SEC held with industry on 2 September and 18 November 2025. Its main purpose is to make charge point operators’ (CPO) obligations clearer and less open to interpretation:
- Connector availability and energy delivered: operators must report both to SEC, in the format, frequency and channel that SEC defines.
- Minimum information: operators must provide at least the technical characteristics, location, operating conditions and availability of their chargers and connectors.
- Clearer definitions: the update revises concepts in the original text so operators and SEC read the obligations the same way.
The resolution rests on Chile’s electromobility law (Law 21,305), Supreme Decree 12 of 2022 on charging infrastructure, and the electrical installation rules for charging (RIC 15). The full instruction is available on SEC’s electromobility pages.
Background
Interoperability in Chile means drivers can find, check and use public chargers regardless of who operates them, with real-time status visible through a common platform. SEC’s own counts showed 5,245 chargers in the country earlier this year, so the quality of operator data now affects a meaningful share of public charging. Tighter reporting also gives the regulator a basis for supervising uptime and pricing transparency.
What It Means
For operators and site hosts in Chile, data reporting is now part of compliance, not an optional extra. Charger hardware needs a reliable back-end connection, and OCPP-capable equipment makes it far easier to pass status and energy data to a management platform that can report to SEC. Units such as the EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station and the EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger support OCPP 1.6J, which operators can integrate with their chosen platform.
