Driven by electricity

The timing depends on the type and capacity of the built-in battery and the charging infrastructure.

Our public charging stations have the possibility of three-phase charging up to 22 kW, allowing for fast charging. A vehicle can be charged within less than an hour in this way. In general, the timing depends on the car and its battery’s condition and performance, not the charging station.

You can find the locations of all our charging stations at www.gremonaelektriko.si.

Indicative charging times:

Elektro Ljubljana’s charging stations are built to the highest standards, and have all been certified, thereby guaranteeing safe charging. We also build in extra protection that protects users from any contact with electric power and related injuries.

Most of our charging stations are equipped with two power sockets and positioned between two parking spaces, allowing two vehicles to charge at the same time. Users must provide their own charging cable.

There are examples of stations that already have a universal charging cable, like the ultra-fast stations with direct current along the highway in Slovenia, as well as some other rapid charging stations around Europe. Although these stations have three power sockets, it is only possible to charge one car at a time.

To avoid any concerns you may have regarding charging we advise that you obtain information on charging stations before you hit the road.

The financial incentives change every year and you can find all the information at the website Eko sklada.

According to a public tender from 2016 the maximum financial support can add up to:

• EUR 7,500  for a new electric vehicle with no CO₂ emissions or a vehicle remodeled into an electrically powered one, from category M1 (category M represents motor vehicles with at least four wheels, designed for passenger transport, while M1 stands for vehicles for passengers transport with a maximum of eight seats not including the driver’s seat).
• EUR 4,500 for new electric vehicle with no CO₂ emissions or a vehicle remodeled into an electrically powered one, from category N1 or L7e (category N represents motor vehicles with at least four wheels intended for transporting cargo, while category N1 stands for cargo vehicles with a maximum mass of up to and including 3.5 tonnes. Category L7e and includes vehicles on four wheels, except for four-wheeled vehicles from category L6e, with an unladen weight not exceeding 400 kg (550 kg for cargo vehicles) without the battery weight on electrical vehicles with a motor whose rated power does not exceed 15 kW).
• EUR  4,500 for a new plug-in hybrid vehicle or new electrically powered vehicle with range extender, with less than 50 g CO2/km CO₂ emissions from categories M1 or N1.
• EUR 3,000 for new electric vehicle with no CO₂ emissions or a vehicle remodeled into an electrically powered one from the category L6e (category L6e stands for light four-wheeled vehicles with unladen weight of less than 350 kg, excluding the weight of batteries on electric vehicles, with a maximum designed speed of no more than 45 km/h).

The registration costs for electric vehicles are the same as for traditional vehicles.

You are excused from paying the annual duty on roads used in Slovenia.

Fully electric cars are insured in the same as cars running on fossil fuels, with power in kW. For hybrid vehicles the powers of the combustion engine and the electric engine in kW is added together. For more information we suggest you contact your insurance company.
