Tbilisi City Hall reports that 130 out of 198 fast electric vehicle charging stations planned for installation this year have already been put in place across the capital. Mayor Kakha Kaladze, along with Vice Mayor Giorgi Tkemaladze and the head of the Transport and Urban Development Agency Nini Bagashvili, inspected one of the newly installed stations near the Tbilisi Concert Hall.
The city launched auctions for the installation rights in January, dividing the project into three lots of 66 chargers each. While the starting annual lease price per lot was 43,560 GEL, competition drove bids 11.5 times higher, resulting in final annual lease prices of 501,306 GEL for the first two lots and 510,000 GEL for the third. Over a 10-year lease period, the total value of the project reaches 15 million GEL.
Mayor Kaladze expressed gratitude to the implementing companies and emphasized that expanding EV infrastructure is central to Tbilisi’s environmental strategy. He highlighted existing incentives for electric car owners, such as free customs clearance and free parking, and noted that the winning company, Mavridi, has already installed more than half of the 130 fast chargers scheduled for delivery this year.
According to City Hall, the expanding charging network is part of a broader effort to introduce cleaner, more sustainable urban mobility solutions. The full installation of all 198 fast chargers is expected to significantly strengthen Tbilisi’s electric transport ecosystem and support ongoing efforts to improve air quality in the capital.
