Draft law on chargers: price per kWh, a station every 60 km
The draft law on alternative fuels infrastructure provides for per-kWh billing on chargers from 50 kW and a charger at least every 60 km on main roads.
Translated from Serbian. Where the exact wording matters, the Serbian original applies.
The draft was prepared by the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, and the public consultation lasted until 25 June 2026. According to overviews of the draft published in June, it provides for:
- on main roads, a charging station at least every 60 km, or every 100 km where fewer than 3.000 vehicles pass per day;
- cities with more than 50.000 inhabitants to provide, within two years, at least one public station with at least five charging points;
- a total of at least 1,3 kW of public charging per registered electric car;
- on chargers of 50 kW and above, the price to be set per kWh delivered, with possible per-minute billing and an idle fee;
- a register of alternative fuels infrastructure, in which operators are entered within three months.
In August, NALED proposed simplifying the installation of chargers by amending a single rulebook: no separate decision from the building authority, but with Elektrodistribucija's technical conditions and the consent of the road operator. The same proposal includes a motorway toll discount of 50 % for electric and 25 % for hybrid vehicles. These are proposals, not rules in force.
What it means
The largest fast-charging networks currently bill by the minute, so the price per kWh depends on the car. If the law is adopted in this form, the price of a kWh at fast chargers will be the same for everyone. In August the law was still being referred to as a draft; the obligations begin only once it is adopted and published in the Official Gazette.
