Peak grid demand is during the daytime, most EV owners charge overnight once they arrive home and plug in. In the US and other countries with higher EV adoption there is the option for "Time of Use" rates, where you have a discounted electricity price for the power you use overnight, as that's...

Chances of this going anywhere are slim I'd say. As a citizen of a country requiring a visa to enter Argentina you don't have the privilege of arriving as a tourist and then submitting an application to adjust your status inside the country. You'd need to solicit the proper visa (student...

Has anyone imported their car to Argentina on a temporary basis as a tourist with a foreign passport? I understand there are some agencies that sell insurance for tourists driving around Argentina but I think it's liability only, are there any companies that will sell comprehensive coverage to a...

Note that if you are an Argentine citizen returning from abroad you get a tax free import of personal effects, including a car with prior authorization and approval from the embassy

It would be good for Argentina to decentralize, too much is getting sucked into BA at the expense of the rest of the country

Go to zonaprop and search for listings that are dueno direct (owner direct)

Indeed, if you venture out of the Palermo gringo bubble Argentina is in fact a heavily mestizo society. I'd say it's more akin to "inverted Mexico", where in lieu of Mexico's small European/White Mexican population and much larger indigenous population, Argentina has a larger European descent...

Won't be long now till Argentina starts issuing oil dividends to its citizens like Saudi Arabia or Qatar 😂 Only half joking, but the newfound wealth from resource exploitation will be a big boost for the country

To be honest I don't see the problem with providing public education for your citizens. The pretense being that this investment in their education will be paid back manyfold by them working higher skilled jobs and contributing back to the state with taxes in the future. I am curious if you...

The universities would do well to start charging foreign students tuition. Foreign students study for free on the backs of the Argentine taxpayer, many of them, perhaps even most, return to their country shortly afterwards to work there without contributing a dime to the country that educated them.

The authoritative source from the Mercosur website

Under the Mercosur agreement residents of the signatories are able to use their Cedula/DNI or similar document to travel from one to another so long as their original nationality doesn't require a visa. So that means if you're an American you could travel from Argentina to Uruguay for example...
