Sanur is quietly one of the most convenient places in Bali to run an electric car. The town has its own confirmed public charging station, the island’s densest charging cluster sits next door in Denpasar, and the airport is only 14–15 km away with an optional toll shortcut. Add flat streets and calm traffic, and EV rental in Sanur is about as low-stress as Bali driving gets.
How far is Sanur from the airport?
Sanur is approximately 14–15 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, taking 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. Drivers can use the Bali Mandara toll road for part of the route — Rp14,000 for cars since April 2024 — which helps at peak hours. It is one of Bali’s easier airport transfers.
| Route from Ngurah Rai Airport | Distance | Typical time | EV note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanur | 14–15 km | 20–45 min | Optional Bali Mandara toll; confirmed public charging in town |
| Denpasar | 11.8–14 km | 12–31 min | Densest confirmed SPKLU cluster on the island |
| Nusa Dua | 12–13 km | 20–40 min | Via the toll road; confirmed charging at ITDC |
| Ubud | 37–38 km | 60–105 min | No toll; top up in Sanur or Denpasar before heading inland |
| Candidasa | around 60–65 km | 90–130 min | East-coast day trip; confirmed charging in the Klungkung and Karangasem corridor |
Bali’s peak congestion runs roughly 08.00–10.00 and 16.00–19.00, when journeys can take 40–60 percent longer. Sanur’s own streets stay gentle by island standards, which is part of its appeal for first-time EV drivers.
Is there EV charging in Sanur?
Yes. Sanur has a confirmed public charging station (SPKLU), and the Denpasar cluster — stations in the city’s east, west, north and south plus Sesetan — is a short drive away. Bali counted 230 public charging units across 164 locations by the end of 2025, with Sanur firmly inside the well-covered southern belt.
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. The electricity itself is capped at around Rp2,467 per kWh, so topping up costs far less than refuelling a petrol car.
Handover is simple: the car arrives with a high state of charge and you return it at a reasonable level — not full-to-full. With a real-world range of around 200–300 km on the Wuling Air EV depending on variant, many week-long Sanur guests only charge once or twice.

Do you need to plan range when driving an EV around Sanur?
Not for daily life. Sanur sits in the middle of Bali’s best-charged corridor, so cafe runs, airport trips and Denpasar errands barely dent the battery. Range planning only enters the picture for long east-coast or north-coast excursions, where you should leave town with a high charge and note the confirmed stations en route.
Things to do in Sanur with an EV
Sanur is built for slow mornings and easy day trips, and an electric vehicle fits both. Park once, explore on foot, then glide out of town when the mood takes you.
- Sunrise on the beach promenade — the classic Sanur start to the day.
- Le Mayeur Museum and the old-Bali lanes behind the beachfront.
- Fast boats to Nusa Penida and Lembongan from the harbour area.
- Morning markets and the Bajra Sandhi Monument in neighbouring Denpasar.
- East-coast drives towards Candidasa for black-sand beaches and water palaces.
Sanur EV rental questions
Can I drive an EV to Sanur and back on one charge?
Yes, comfortably. The airport run is just 14–15 km each way, and even a full Ubud round trip sits well within the real-world range of every model in our fleet. Range only becomes a planning topic on long runs to the east or north coast — message us and we will map the chargers.
Where do I charge an electric car near Sanur Beach?
Sanur has a confirmed public charging station in town, and the wider Denpasar network — the island’s densest — is a short drive away. Most guests simply return the car at a reasonable charge level rather than hunting for a charger daily, since it arrives with a high battery.
Which EV is best for a family staying in Sanur?
The BYD M6 at $70 per day seats six to seven and swallows beach gear, while the Wuling Cloud EV at $75 per day offers lounge-like space for five. Both can be paired with an English-speaking driver from $35 per day for effortless island days with kids.
