Finding where to charge an electric car in Armenia, what it costs and how to pay is harder than it should be. This is a short practical guide based on the public catalog of the Electro Am network, which I help build.

Where to charge

The network has 33 charging points in 30 locations: Yerevan and its surroundings (Abovyan, Aramus, Geghard, Tsaghkadzor), Gyumri, Vanadzor, the northern road to Georgia (Gyulagarak, Alaverdi, Ptghavan), and Ijevan, Gavar, Martuni, Areni, Sisian, Tatev and Kapan. All points are listed as open 24/7. Full list with connectors and live status: EV charging stations in Armenia.

What it costs

Charging costs 100 AMD per kWh at every point, and the price is shown on the station card before you start. Household electricity in 2026 is 44.98 AMD per kWh by day and 34.98 at night, so home charging is usually cheapest. See charging prices in Armenia.

Connectors

Armenia has no single standard: cars arrive from the US (Type 1), China (GB/T) and Europe or Korea (Type 2). The network is AC only, with Type 1 and Type 2 connectors and a GB/T adapter, so it suits overnight, hotel and restaurant stops, not quick DC top-ups. Guides: connector types, Type 2 stations, GB/T charging.

How to pay

Pay with Idram, an ArCa bank card (through the IDBank gateway), Fastshift or an in-app wallet, or charge as a guest without an account. The prepaid amount is a limit, not a bill: you pay for the energy you took, and the rest is refunded to the card or kept as credit. Details: payment methods.

Road trips and the app

Route guides cover Yerevan to Georgia, to Sevan and Dilijan, and to Goris, Tatev and Meghri; start with how to charge an electric car in Armenia. The app works in Armenian, Russian and English: Electro Am on Google Play.
