Which Electric Car Should You Choose for Your Route?
The right choice depends not only on your budget but also on where you are planning to travel. Compact city electric cars can realistically cover 200โ250 km on a single charge โ enough if you are staying in Tbilisi and driving around the city, to the airport, or taking a short weekend trip to Mtskheta.
Larger electric sedans and crossovers with bigger batteries offer a real-world range of 350โ400 km, which is enough to reach Batumi with minimal charging stops.
Consider these options:
Compact electric cars โ suitable for short city trips and easy parking on narrow streets in Sololaki and Vake.
Long-range electric sedans โ a good choice for highway routes, business trips, and longer journeys.
Electric crossovers โ suitable for families, luggage, and trips to canyons, monasteries, and destinations outside the main roads.
Plug-in hybrid cars โ an option if part of your route goes through areas with limited charging stations.
You can check available models, daily rental prices, and current availability in our car rental catalog. Our fleet is constantly updated, and the list of available vehicles may vary depending on your travel dates.
If you are not sure whether to choose an electric car or a traditional vehicle, send us your route โ we will honestly advise where an EV is more convenient and where it is better to rent an SUV.
How Much Does It Cost to Drive an Electric Car in Georgia?
Charging is the main source of savings when using an electric vehicle. Standard charging costs around 0.60 GEL per kWh, while fast charging is approximately 0.85 GEL per kWh.
A full charge for a medium-size electric car usually costs 30โ60 GEL, while covering the same distance with a petrol vehicle can cost three to four times more. In addition, electric cars help reduce maintenance costs during long-term rentals, as there is no need for regular oil and filter changes.
The rental price itself depends on the vehicle class, rental period, and pickup method. The longer the rental period, the lower the daily price usually becomes โ special conditions are available for rentals of one month or longer.
We can arrange vehicle delivery in Tbilisi, to the airport, or directly to your hotel. Payment is available in Georgian lari, US dollars, euros, rubles, and USDT. You can find a detailed overview of rental costs in our article about car rental prices in Georgia.
Where to Charge an Electric Car: Charging Stations in Tbilisi and on Georgian Roads
In Tbilisi, charging stations are available near major shopping centers, business centers, hotels, and on routes towards Mtskheta and Rustavi. Traveling outside the capital is also possible: fast-charging stations are available along the TbilisiโBatumi highway, with additional locations in Kutaisi, Zestafoni, Gudauri, Stepantsminda, Telavi, and Kvareli.
The main exception is Svaneti, where charging infrastructure is still limited. For this region, a traditional vehicle or an SUV is usually a more practical choice. The following mobile apps and charging services help drivers find available stations:
The following mobile apps help drivers find available charging stations:
E-Space โ one of the largest charging networks in Georgia, with charging points in cities and along popular routes.
EcoCars โ provides fast charging stations in cities and popular travel destinations.
Da-tene โ offers charging points in different regions, including Tbilisi, Batumi, Kakheti, and Akhaltsikhe.
MartEV โ an electric vehicle charging service with available charging stations in Georgia.
Charger Plus โ a charging network for electric vehicles.
PlugShare โ a global charging map with driver reviews, useful for planning routes in advance.
A practical rule: start looking for a charging station when the battery level reaches around 20% instead of waiting until it is almost empty. It is also recommended to keep a backup charging point nearby in case the main station is occupied or unavailable.
For standard charging, connect the cable to the charging station first, then to the car. For fast charging, first attach the adapter to the station cable and then connect it to the vehicle. We explain this process during vehicle pickup.
Please note that parking in a charging space without connecting the vehicle to the charger may result in a 100 GEL fine, and these rules are actively enforced.
Routes from Tbilisi That an Electric Car Can Handle Comfortably
Kakheti is one of the easiest destinations for electric car travel. Sighnaghi is located about 110 km from Tbilisi, followed by Telavi and Kvareli, where fast-charging stations are already available. This makes a wine route through the region comfortable and easy to plan.
Dashbashi Canyon with its glass bridge and the lakes around Tsalka are also suitable for an electric vehicle trip. The distance is around 110 km one way. The uphill sections require more energy, but during the descent the car can recover part of the energy through regenerative braking.
The road to Kazbegi via the Georgian Military Highway is also possible with an electric car. The distance is around 150 km, and charging stations are available in Gudauri and Stepantsminda. However, in winter it is better to plan with extra range in mind โ cold temperatures can reduce battery capacity by 20โ30%, while cabin heating consumes additional energy.
You can find more details about the route in our article Tbilisi to Kazbegi by Car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an electric car a problem in winter?
It is not a problem, but you should plan with some extra range in mind. In winter, expect around 20โ30% less driving range, preheat the cabin while the car is connected to charging, and use heated seats instead of cabin heating whenever possible.
Can I travel to the mountains with an electric car?
Yes, if your route includes charging stations. Popular mountain destinations such as Gudauri, Stepantsminda, and Bakuriani are gradually getting better charging infrastructure.
For remote regions such as Svaneti and Tusheti, it is better to choose a four-wheel-drive vehicle with a conventional engine.
What should I do if a charging station does not work?
Open a charging app and check nearby stations. If necessary, you can use a regular power outlet at a hotel or cafรฉ. It will charge more slowly, but it can provide enough energy to reach the nearest fast-charging station.
