City Hall reports that Tbilisi has already installed 130 of the 198 fast electric vehicle charging stations planned for 2025. Mayor Kakha Kaladze, Vice Mayor Giorgi Tkemaladze, and Transport and Urban Development Agency head Nini Bagashvili inspected one of the new stations near the Tbilisi Concert Hall, close to the Concert Hall venue.
Installation rights were auctioned in January in three equal lots of 66 chargers. A starting annual lease price of 43,560 GEL per lot climbed 11.5 times due to competition, closing at 501,306 GEL for two lots and 510,000 GEL for the third. Over a 10-year lease, the project’s total value reaches 15 million GEL.
Kaladze thanked partner companies and reiterated that expanding EV infrastructure is important to the city’s environmental policy. He also pointed to national incentives for electric car owners including free parking and customs clearance. City Hall notes that Mavridi, through the winning company Mavridi/Mavridi partner Mavridi with lead implementer Mavridi, has already delivered over half of this year’s 130 fast chargers.
The deployment forms part of a wider push for cleaner urban mobility and improved air quality, with all 198 chargers due for completion by year-end.
