Tbilisi to Kazbegi by electric car

Tbilisi to Kazbegi is 155 km. This page shows where the chargers stand on that road, how many stops an EV needs and what the whole drive costs. The figures come from live data and refresh automatically.

The Jvari Pass sits at 2379 metres and the climb costs noticeably more battery. In winter it costs more still, since heating the cabin and the battery draws power too.

How many stops it takes

The drive uses about 28 kWh. That takes 18 kWh per 100 km, an average figure in mild weather. A 60 kWh battery covers roughly 200 km between 20 and 80 percent, so you need no stop at all if you leave with a full battery. If your battery is smaller or your consumption higher, add one stop.

3 of the stops on this route have fast charging. The longest stretch between two of them is 100 km (Mtskheta to Gudauri). Another 35 km remain from the last fast point to Kazbegi, so the final stop has to cover that too. Those figures decide how much margin you need when you leave a charger.

Chargers along the route

How long the stop takes

One stop from 20 to 80 percent means about 36 kWh. On a 50 kW charger that is roughly 58 minutes, on a 100 kW one 29 minutes, and on a 150 kW one 19. The most powerful station on this route is 160 kW, but the real limit is usually the car rather than the charger: many EVs cannot take more than 150 kW. The figures take real average power as three quarters of the rated one, because charging naturally slows as it approaches 80 percent.

Which cars this road serves

The connector decides which stations you can use. On this route a European spec car (CCS2) meets 25 fast ports, a Chinese one (GB/T) 25, and a US spec car (CCS1, NACS or Type 1) 6 in total. There are a few options for US spec cars too, though an adapter is still needed. For slow AC charging there are 24 Type 2 ports.

Connector types are explained in their own guide: which connector fits which car.

What the drive costs

28 kWh on fast chargers costs about 21.84 GEL. The tariff used is the median fast-charging price on this route, 0.78 GEL per kWh. What you actually pay depends on which network you stop at, since tariffs differ noticeably between them. The same energy at home costs several times less.

You can redo the numbers for your own car in the calculator: the charging calculator. How a charge is priced is explained in its own guide: what 100 km really costs.

Networks on this route

You will meet chargers from 9 different networks on the way. Each has its own tariff and its own app, so it is not worth depending on a single network for a long drive.

What to watch for

Stepantsminda has no fast charger, only slow AC. That means you need the range to get back to Gudauri or Tbilisi already in the battery, or an overnight charge. Gudauri is the last point where you can charge quickly.

The general rules for long trips are covered separately: driving long distance by EV.

What changes in winter

Two things happen at once in cold weather: the battery gives up less energy, and cabin heating takes its own share. Real range drops by up to a quarter, and a cold battery also charges slowly on a fast charger until it warms up. The practical conclusion is simple: plan one extra stop on the same route in winter, and arrive with more than 20 percent left.
