EV charging in Azerbaijan

Charging infrastructure in Azerbaijan is developing. With 311 public charging points recorded in our database, drivers have access to a growing network. Baku is the primary hub, hosting 115 chargers, followed by Sumqayıt with 7. Other towns like Gəncə and Nardaran have a smaller presence, typically with 6 chargers each.

Drivers will find a mix of charging speeds. A notable 23 stations offer DC fast charging at 150 kW or more, ideal for quick top-ups. Another 205 stations fall into the 50-149 kW category, suitable for medium-speed charging. The remaining chargers operate at slower AC speeds.

Information on specific pricing patterns for public charging in Azerbaijan is not readily available. Generally, DC fast charging tends to be more expensive per kilowatt-hour than Level 2 AC charging. Home charging rates are typically lower than public charging rates, but vary by electricity provider and plan.

There are no country-specific financial incentives for EV charging infrastructure in Azerbaijan currently on record. Drivers should check with local authorities or network providers for any available programs or discounts. The common connector types in Azerbaijan usually include Type 2 for AC charging and CCS Combo 2 for DC fast charging, though older standards may still be encountered.

For foreign drivers passing through, a practical tip is to download multiple charging network apps before arriving. Since coverage can be sparse outside major cities, having access to several networks increases your chances of finding an available charger. Confirming payment methods accepted by these networks in advance is also advisable.
