Vehicle fleet

In total, just over 3,1 million vehicles are registered. In 2016 there were 123 electric and 88 hybrid vehicles.

The latest official figure is 7.155 electric vehicles (MUP, early April 2026). With new registrations since then, today's estimate is 8.367, and the number on the site grows by itself every six hours.

How the estimate is calculated
  • Starting point: 7.155 electric vehicles according to MUP data given to RTS (3 April 2026).
  • From April to September 2026, 1.028 new electric passenger cars were registered for the first time (SAUVD: 1.166 in nine months, 138 of them in the first quarter). At the end of September that makes 8.183.
  • After that the number grows by the April–September average, 5,62 cars a day, and changes every six hours.
  • Imported used cars, light commercial vehicles and deregistered vehicles are not counted. The estimate is corrected when SAUVD or MUP publish new data, and if there are no new data for 120 days, the number stops growing.

Public chargers

Most are on motorways and busier petrol stations. Serbia has 3–4 chargers per 100.000 inhabitants, while experts aim for 10–15. Charging at the state-owned motorway chargers (36 installed, 27 working) is free. The others charge mostly per minute and publish prices only in their apps — price index.

Details: how the number has changed
Date Number of chargers Source
May 2024 “does not exceed 150” SAUVD
April 2026 “just over 200”, only 18 of them state-owned NALED
June 2026 about 230 Danas / Forbes Srbija
September 2026 220 021.rs

Electromaps lists 150 stations (60 in Belgrade): it counts stations, not charging points, and the databases are incomplete. Charging is billed per minute because the implementing regulation under Article 210v of the Energy Law has not been adopted.
