I happen to be in Uruguay right now (from the US). I rented a car -- didn't see an EV option. I've driven from Montevideo to Punta Del Diablo and I haven't seen a charging station :-( I wasn't looking for one, and checking the map just now, they do exist.

Also: Uruguay is awesome.

There are a few in the Interbalnearia/IB/Ruta 1.

Not surprised you haven't seen EVs for rent, since the charging network, although it exists, is woefully unsufficient for non-expert users. Montevideo is a city of ~1.5M people and there are less than 30 charging stations. It's not viable to charge "at home" unless you live in a house; I have never seen an apartment buildings garage prepared for EV charging.
