Country guide

Electric Vehicle Charging in Romania

Romania has 460 public charging points, a growing network for EV drivers. Of these, 59 offer fast charging at 150 kW or higher, and 256 provide speeds between 50-149 kW. Most chargers are found in larger cities like Bucharest, Galati, and Cluj-Napoca.

Charging Infrastructure

Romania's EV charging network is still developing. With 460 public charging points, drivers will find coverage is concentrated in urban centers. Bucharest leads with 46 stations, followed by Galati (42), Cluj-Napoca and Sibiu (both 14), and Timișoara (12). The majority of these offer charging speeds suitable for topping up, but 59 stations are rated 150 kW or greater, suitable for quicker charging stops.

Operators and Connectors

Drivers in Romania will encounter a mix of local and international charging network operators. The most common connector type for AC charging is the Type 2, while DC fast charging predominantly uses the CCS Combo 2 standard. Some older posts might still use CHAdeMO, though this is less common.

Pricing Considerations

Charging costs in Romania vary by network and location. Public charging is typically priced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) or sometimes by time. While specific price caps are not set nationally, expect DC fast charging to be more expensive than slower AC charging. Home charging rates are generally lower, especially if you have a dedicated night tariff. For drivers from other EU countries, ensure your roaming agreement or charging pass covers Romanian networks to avoid unexpected fees.

Incentives and Support

Romania has participated in government-backed programs to encourage EV adoption, which can include subsidies for purchasing EVs and installing home chargers. Check for current national or regional initiatives, though these are subject to change. Public charging infrastructure development is also a focus, often supported by EU funds.

Practical Tip for Visitors

Before arriving, research which charging networks are most prevalent in the regions you plan to visit. Downloading apps for the dominant providers or ensuring your existing EV roaming pass is active can prevent connectivity issues at charging stations.
