Home EV charging in Armenia

What a full charge costs at home

Where	Price per kWh, AMD	Cost of 40 kWh, AMD
Home, day tariff	44.98	about 1,800
Home, night tariff	34.98	about 1,400
EV Armenia public AC	100	about 4,000

Household tariffs are those set by the Public Services Regulatory Commission and unchanged for 2026 (ARKA, 30 December 2025). We did not find which clock hours count as night, so ask your supplier. Charging losses add roughly 10%. 40 kWh is an example; use the calculator for your battery.

Three ways to charge at home

Option	Typical use	Notes
Portable cable into an ordinary socket	Occasional, emergencies	Slowest. Power is volts times amps, so a 10 A socket gives about 2.3 kW on 230 V. Never use a cheap multi-socket lead
Dedicated wall box on its own circuit	Daily charging	Installed by a qualified electrician. Safest and faster, often 7 kW on a single-phase supply
Smart wall box with OCPP	Shared or business use	Can be connected to charging software for billing and remote control; see OCPP explained

Safe home charging

• Use a dedicated wall box fitted by a qualified electrician where you can.
• Do not use domestic multi-socket extension leads or daisy-chain leads for charging.
• Inspect cables and plugs regularly; stop using anything that is warm to the touch, damaged or discoloured.
• Have the wiring checked before you charge overnight from an ordinary socket. Old wiring may not handle hours at high current.
• Keep the charging cable out of walkways and out of the rain, unless it is rated for it.

This is general guidance, based on UK electrical-safety advice that applies as a principle everywhere; Armenian standards may differ. Ask your electrician which rules apply.

Before you install

1. Check your electricity subscription: how much power it allows and whether the supply is single or three-phase.
2. Pick the connector that fits your car; see connector types.
3. Ask a qualified electrician for a quote, including a separate circuit and protection devices.
4. If you live in an apartment building, read charging in an apartment first: shared parking needs agreements.
5. Compare the price with public charging for your driving pattern. Home charging pays off if you park at home overnight.

We found no public Armenian price quotes for wall boxes or installation; see charger cost and installation.

When public charging makes sense

On trips, in the city when you cannot park at home, and when you need a fast top-up, you use the public network. Our stations are AC and best for stops of an hour or more; see how to charge.
