Electric car rental for Amed starts at $29 per day, though for Bali’s longest tourist route we recommend the $33 Wuling Air EV Long Range or a bigger-battery SUV. Bali Electric Car delivers to villas and dive resorts across the island, or hands the car over in the southern corridor so you can drive east yourself. Everything is arranged in one WhatsApp conversation at +62 811-2859-0000, at rates current as of August 2026.
Amed is the string of fishing villages on Bali’s far north-east coast — black volcanic sand, the Japanese shipwreck, freediving schools and sunrise views of Mount Agung. It is also the drive where range planning matters most: roughly 90–100 km from the airport, with no named public charger in Amed itself in our research. Done with a plan, it is a superb EV road trip. This guide lays out the honest numbers.
How far is Amed from the airport?
Amed lies roughly 90–100 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, a drive of around 150–210 minutes via the east-coast road through Klungkung and Karangasem. It is the longest regular route in Bali, and the reason we treat it as a range-planning exercise rather than a casual hop.
| Route from Ngurah Rai Airport | Distance | Typical time | EV note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amed | 90–100 km | 150–210 min | Longest route; no named charger in Amed itself — plan to arrive with a comfortable reserve |
| Candidasa | 60–65 km | 90–130 min | Same corridor; confirmed stations in Klungkung and Karangasem regencies |
| Sidemen | 45–50 km | 75–115 min | Inland detour option; no named charger there either |
| Sanur | 14–15 km | 20–45 min | Confirmed charging point; the classic top-up before heading east |
Leave early. Peak congestion in the south runs roughly 08.00–10.00 and 16.00–19.00, and the bottom of each time range assumes you clear Denpasar and Sanur before the morning rush. The east-coast road itself is generally free-flowing.
Can an electric car make it to Amed and back?
Yes, with the right model and a charging plan. The round trip is roughly 190–200 km, so choose a longer-range EV, leave the south fully charged, and use the confirmed stations in Klungkung or on the Karangasem side to top up. Guests staying several nights have the easiest time of all.
Bali had 230 public charging units across 164 locations by the end of 2025, concentrated in the south and centre. On the east coast, public stations are confirmed at regency level in Klungkung and around Karangasem/Amlapura — but our research found no named public charger in Amed village itself, so do not count on one. If your guesthouse allows slow overnight charging from a regular socket, that quietly solves the return leg; confirm with your host before relying on it.
Where should I charge on the way to Amed?
Top up before you leave the southern belt — Sanur is the last easy confirmed stop — then use the Klungkung and Karangasem corridors as your mid-route safety net. Public charging is cheap: the fast-charging service fee is Rp933.22 per kWh (capped at Rp25,000 per session), ultra-fast is Rp1,133.22 per kWh (capped at Rp57,000 per session), and electricity is capped at Rp2,467 per kWh. Charging speeds vary by station and are not published per site, so build slack into the schedule rather than assuming a fast unit at a specific stop.
Which EV should I choose for the Amed run?
This is the route where the model choice genuinely matters. Rates below are per day, as of August 2026, and every car is delivered with a high battery under the standard Bali handover practice.
- BYD Atto 3 — from $95 self-drive (indicative — limited availability, confirmed on booking). The comfortable long-range pick for a same-day return.
- MG4 EV — $75 self-drive. Efficient, quick and well suited to the winding coastal road.
- Wuling Air EV Long Range — $33 self-drive. Fine if you are staying in Amed and can top up around Amlapura on the way; for a same-day return, choose a bigger battery. Real-world Air EV range is roughly 200–300 km depending on variant.
- BYD M6 — $70 self-drive, six to seven seats for dive groups and families.
- Wuling Darion — $113 per day with driver, if you would rather arrive rested for tomorrow’s sunrise snorkel.
An English-speaking driver can be added to any self-drive model from $35 per day. See the BYD Atto 3 and MG4 EV pages for details, or browse the full fleet.
Things to do in Amed by electric car
Amed’s sights are strung along a dozen kilometres of coast road, which makes a quiet EV the perfect way to hop between bays.
- Snorkel the Japanese shipwreck at Banyuning — a few metres off the beach.
- Jemeluk Bay viewpoint for sunset over the fishing fleet and Mount Agung.
- Freediving and scuba schools in Amed and Lipah villages.
- Traditional salt farms along the shoreline, still worked by hand.
- Tirta Gangga water palace, an easy stop on the drive in through Karangasem.
Amed electric car rental questions
Can I drive an EV from Denpasar to Amed?
Yes. The one-way distance is roughly 90–100 km, within the real-world range of every longer-range model in the fleet on a full battery. Leave charged, top up in Klungkung or Karangasem if you want extra margin, and treat the return leg with the same respect.
Is there a public charger in Amed itself?
Our research found no named public charging station in Amed village. The nearest confirmed stations are on the Karangasem/Amlapura side and in Klungkung. Arrive with a comfortable reserve, and ask your accommodation about overnight charging from a standard socket as a backup.
Can you deliver an electric car to Amed?
Yes — delivery outside the free Kuta–Seminyak–Airport corridor carries a fee, quoted upfront on WhatsApp. Many guests instead take delivery in the south, enjoy the east-coast drive themselves, and keep the car for their whole stay.
