What connector do most fast chargers in Georgia use?

Most DC fast chargers in Georgia use the CCS Combo 2 (CCS2) plug. CHAdeMO is available at some stations, and public AC chargers use the Type 2 connector.

How do you pay for EV charging in Georgia?

Most networks (E-Space, EcoCars, Da-tene, Charger Plus and others) require their own smartphone app to start a session and pay per kWh. Aggregator apps such as PlugShare help you find stations but cannot always start charging.

EV Charging Stations in Georgia

An interactive map of public electric-vehicle chargers across Georgia, built from open community data — plus a practical guide to networks, connectors and how charging actually works here.

Open data Points come from the E-Motors / E-Space operator map, with Open Charge Map and OpenStreetMap merged in. There is no official government register of chargers, so coverage and accuracy vary — always confirm a station in its operator app before you rely on it.

The station dataset has not been populated yet. Run npm run fetch:ev (with a free Open Charge Map API key) or trigger the weekly refresh workflow, then reload this page.

How EV charging works in Georgia

Georgia’s charging network has grown quickly and now reaches every major city and the main highways, including the full Tbilisi–Batumi corridor. Coverage is thinnest in remote mountain areas (for example Svaneti), so on those routes plan around known chargers and carry a cable for a standard socket as a backup.

Charging networks

Several operators run public chargers, each with its own app for starting a session and paying. The main ones people mention are:

E-Space — Georgia’s first and largest network, with fast DC chargers on the highways and coverage in areas others skip (Kazbegi/Stepantsminda, Zugdidi, Kakheti). Many sit at SOCAR fuel stations.
EcoCars — DC fast chargers in cities and along major routes, including spots such as Gudauri and central Kutaisi.
Da-tene — fast chargers with good reach in Kakheti and around Akhaltsikhe (e.g. Telavi, Kvareli), plus Tbilisi, Batumi and the highway.
Charger Plus — a newer network with locations including Gudauri and Lagodekhi.
MOVEO — building out DC fast and ultra-fast chargers.
ProCredit — a set of free-to-use chargers; its app does not show live availability, so check on arrival.

Aggregator apps — PlugShare and Chargemap — are useful for finding stations and reading driver reviews across networks, but they cannot always start a charge on your behalf. Operator lists here come from the operators and aggregators, not a government register, and change over time.

Connectors and charging levels

Three levels are worth knowing, and which plug goes with each:

Level 1 — domestic socket (~220 V). Slowest; an emergency top-up only, using the portable cable that comes with most cars.
Level 2 — AC, Type 2. The most common public AC charger (hotels, malls, car parks), typically 7–22 kW. Bring your own Type 2 cable, as these are often untethered.
Level 3 — DC fast, CCS2. The quickest option on highways and at some fuel stations. Most modern EVs here use CCS Combo 2; CHAdeMO exists at some sites. Older cars may use Type 1 for AC.

Paying, etiquette and the cable rule

You generally pay per kWh through the network’s own app; some networks add an idle fee if you stay plugged in after charging finishes, so check the app for the specific station. Free options exist (e.g. ProCredit) but without live status.

Basic etiquette matters at busy sites: only occupy a stall while actively charging, and move on once you are done — especially at fast chargers on road trips. Note a specific local rule: an EV that occupies a designated charging space without a charging cable connected can be fined 100 GEL. As with all figures and rules on this page, confirm the current position before you rely on it.
