Cuba uses Types A, B, C and L plugs, 110V at 60Hz. Travelling from the UK you need a plug adapter and a voltage converter for appliances that are not dual-voltage. Phone and laptop chargers are usually rated 100-240V, so they only need the right plug.
| Plug type | Types A, B, C and L |
| Type A | two flat parallel pins |
| Type B | two flat pins plus a round earth pin |
| Type C | two round pins (Europlug) |
| Type L | three round pins in a row (Italian type) |
| Voltage | 110V |
| Frequency | 60Hz |
| Travelling from | Home plug | Adapter | Voltage converter |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Type G, 230V | Needed | Needed for single-voltage appliances |
| United States | Types A and B, 120V | Not needed for Type A and B | Not needed |
| India | Types C, D and M, 230V | Not needed for Type C | Needed for single-voltage appliances |
| United Arab Emirates | Type G, 230V | Needed | Needed for single-voltage appliances |
| Australia | Type I, 230V | Needed | Needed for single-voltage appliances |
| Canada | Types A and B, 120V | Not needed for Type A and B | Not needed |

Yes. United Kingdom uses Type G and Cuba uses Types A, B, C and L, so you need an adapter.
Not always. Both use Types A and B, so United States plugs of that type fit.
Not always. Both use Type C, so India plugs of that type fit. The voltage differs (230V vs 110V), so single-voltage appliances need a converter.
Yes. United Arab Emirates uses Type G and Cuba uses Types A, B, C and L, so you need an adapter.
Yes. Australia uses Type I and Cuba uses Types A, B, C and L, so you need an adapter.
Not always. Both use Types A and B, so Canada plugs of that type fit.
