Main Voltage in Ivory Coast

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Ivory Coast?

Ivory Coast runs on a main voltage of 230 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Ivory Coast socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Ivory Coast?

Yes, but it depends on which socket your hotel has. Ivory Coast uses Type C and E sockets at 230V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Ivory Coast voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian plug fits Type C sockets directly, but will not fit Type E sockets without an adapter. You do not need a voltage converter — Ivory Coast's 230V is the same as India's 230V.
