We use the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) to investigate the impact of charge dequantization arising from non-local QED on the scale of non-locality of neutrinos. We find this scale to be 
TeV as implied by direct bounds and 
TeV as implied by cosmological bounds, which could be probed in future colliders. We also investigate the electric force and potential in non-local QED and use them to reformulate the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) in non-local QED.
