Not all electricity is equal. An electric car charged on a coal-heavy grid produces more upstream emissions than one charged on renewable power. Georgia has a significant advantage: the country relies heavily on hydropower from plants such as Enguri and Vardnili.
Hydro-Dominant Grid
Because a large share of Georgia's electricity comes from flowing water rather than burning coal or gas, the carbon intensity of each kilowatt-hour is relatively low. When you charge your EV at home or at a public station, the energy powering your car is cleaner than the global average.
Getting Cleaner Over Time
Georgia continues to invest in renewable capacity and grid modernisation. As solar and wind projects expand, the environmental benefit of driving electric will only increase. Early EV adopters are part of a long-term transition toward a fully clean transport system.
Local Impact
Reduced dependence on imported fuel also improves energy security. Less money spent on petrol imports stays in the local economy and supports domestic infrastructure — including the charging network that ChargeBox.GE is building across the country.
Charge Smarter
Use the ChargeBox.GE app to find the nearest station, monitor your session, and track energy consumed in kWh. Every charged kilometre is a step toward a cleaner Georgia.
