Denpasar is the easiest place in Bali to live with an electric car. The city holds the island’s densest confirmed charging coverage — public stations in East, West, North and South Denpasar plus Sesetan and the Rumah BUMN hub — and the airport is only 11.8–14 km away. For expats, business travellers and anyone based in the capital, EV rental here simply works.
How far is Denpasar from the airport?
Central Denpasar is approximately 11.8–14 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, taking as little as 12–31 minutes outside peak traffic. Depending on your drop-off point, drivers sometimes use the Bali Mandara toll road (Rp14,000 for cars since April 2024). It is among the shortest airport runs on the island.
| Route from Ngurah Rai Airport | Distance | Typical time | EV note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denpasar (centre) | 11.8–14 km | 12–31 min | Densest confirmed SPKLU coverage in Bali |
| Sanur | 14–15 km | 20–45 min | Confirmed public charging; Denpasar’s beach next door |
| Kuta | 3–4 km | 10–15 min | Chargers in the Kuta area, including Beachwalk Shopping Center |
| Nusa Dua | 12–13 km | 20–40 min | Via toll; confirmed charging at ITDC |
| Ubud | 37–38 km | 60–105 min | Charge in Denpasar before heading inland |
| Lovina | around 85–90 km | 140–190 min | Confirmed charging at Candikuning (Bedugul) mid-route, then Singaraja and Seririt |
| Amed | around 95–100 km | 150–210 min | Confirmed charging in Klungkung and Karangasem; none named in Amed itself — plan your range |
City traffic peaks roughly 08.00–10.00 and 16.00–19.00, when journeys can run 40–60 percent longer. An EV takes the sting out of it: no clutch work, silent crawling, and no fuel burned while you queue.
Why is Denpasar the best-charged city in Bali?
Our research names more public charging stations (SPKLU) in Denpasar than anywhere else on the island: East, West, North and South Denpasar, Sesetan and the Rumah BUMN hub. Bali counted 230 public charging units across 164 locations by the end of 2025, and the capital anchors that network.
Public fast charging carries a service fee of Rp933.22 per kWh, capped at Rp25,000 per session; ultra-fast charging is Rp1,133.22 per kWh, capped at Rp57,000. Electricity at public stations is capped at around Rp2,467 per kWh, so running an EV in the city costs a fraction of petrol.
Handover is the standard Bali arrangement: the car arrives with a high battery and comes back at a reasonable level — never full-to-full. With around 200–300 km of real-world range on the Wuling Air EV depending on variant, city driving needs only occasional top-ups.

Denpasar EV rental questions
Can I drive an EV from Denpasar to Amed?
Yes, with planning. The east-coast run is roughly 95–100 km from southern Bali and takes around 2.5–3.5 hours. Confirmed public charging exists in Klungkung and Karangasem along the way, but none is named in Amed itself — leave fully charged and plan a top-up on the Amlapura side.
Can I drive an EV from Denpasar to Lovina?
Yes — it is the best-supported long route in Bali. The drive is roughly 85–90 km over the mountains and takes around 2.5–3 hours, with confirmed charging at Candikuning (Bedugul) mid-route and in Singaraja and Seririt on the north coast. Charge in Denpasar before departure for a comfortable margin.
Do I need a home charger to rent an EV in Denpasar?
No. The car is delivered with a high state of charge, Denpasar’s public network is the densest on the island, and you return the vehicle at a reasonable level rather than full. Most renters top up at a city SPKLU every few days and never think about it otherwise.
