Electric vehicles are becoming more common in Albania, and the charging network is steadily growing, especially in and around Tirana and along main routes. With a little planning, an EV road trip is entirely possible. Here is what to know.
The Charging Network
Charging stations are most plentiful in Tirana and larger cities, with a growing number along the main highways and near popular destinations. Coverage is improving year on year, though it is thinner in remote mountain areas.
Charging in Tirana
The capital has the best charging options, including fast chargers at some shopping centres, hotels and dedicated stations. It is a convenient base to start and end an EV trip fully charged.
On the Road
For longer trips, plan your charging stops in advance, especially before heading into the mountains or more remote areas where chargers are fewer. Top up whenever you have the chance.
Apps and Planning
Charging apps and maps help you locate stations and check availability. Plan your route around reliable chargers and keep a comfortable buffer of range.
Hotels and Accommodation
An increasing number of hotels offer charging for guests, which is worth confirming when you book, allowing you to charge overnight.
Tips
- Plan charging stops before remote or mountain routes.
