Lovina is Bali’s mellow north coast: dawn dolphin boats, black-sand beaches, hot springs and the waterfall country of the Buleleng hills. Reaching it means crossing the island — roughly 85–90 km via the Bedugul mountain road — and it happens to be the best-supported long EV route in Bali, with a confirmed charging stop at Candikuning near the halfway mark and confirmed stations in Singaraja and Seririt at the destination. This guide covers the numbers, the charge stops and the right car for the climb.
How far is Lovina from the airport?
Lovina lies roughly 85–90 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, a drive of around 140–190 minutes over the Bedugul pass. The route is toll-free, climbs past the twin-lake country at Candikuning, then descends through Gitgit to the north coast at Singaraja before the final easy stretch west to Lovina.
| Route from Ngurah Rai Airport | Distance | Typical time | EV note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lovina | 85–90 km | 140–190 min | Via Bedugul; confirmed mid-route charging at Candikuning, plus Singaraja and Seririt at the destination |
| Tabanan (town) | 35–40 km | 60–90 min | Western approach on the same corridor; charging corridor confirmed |
| Ubud (centre) | 37–38 km | 60–105 min | Alternative central starting point for the northern loop |
| Denpasar | 11.8–14 km | 12–31 min | Densest public charging coverage in Bali — top up before you climb |
Time your departure around the southern peak hours — roughly 08.00–10.00 and 16.00–19.00, when journeys stretch by 40–60 percent or more. Clear Denpasar early and you can be drinking coffee above the lakes by mid-morning.
Where should I stop to charge on the way to North Bali?
Candikuning, in the Bedugul lake country, is the confirmed mid-route charging stop — conveniently next to the market, the strawberry stalls and Ulun Danu Beratan temple. At the north-coast end, public stations are confirmed in Singaraja and Seririt, bracketing Lovina from both sides. Leave the south with a full battery and the route works with margin.
Bali had 230 public charging units across 164 locations by the end of 2025. Charging is inexpensive: 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. Speeds vary by station and are not published per site, so treat any single charger as a top-up opportunity rather than a guaranteed fast fill.
Can an EV make it to Lovina without charging?
On a full battery, the 85–90 km crossing sits within the real-world range of every longer-range model we rent, even allowing for the climb — and regenerative braking hands a useful share back on the long descent to Singaraja. We still recommend the Candikuning stop for margin, especially with air-conditioning working hard and a car full of luggage.
Which electric car suits the Lovina run?
Pick battery first, seats second. Rates below are per day, as of August 2026; every car is handed over with a high battery, and you return it with a reasonable charge rather than strictly full-to-full.
- Wuling Air EV Long Range — $33 self-drive. The budget pick for couples; real-world Air EV range is roughly 200–300 km depending on variant.
- MG4 EV — $75 self-drive. Composed and quick on the mountain switchbacks.
- Chery Omoda E5 — $75 self-drive. A comfortable SUV with power in reserve for the pass.
- BYD M6 — $70 self-drive, six to seven seats for dolphin-trip families and their gear.
- Wuling Darion — $113 per day with driver, so someone local handles the hairpins while you watch the lakes go by.
An English-speaking driver can be added to any self-drive model from $35 per day. Browse the full electric fleet or see the MG4 EV in detail.
Things to do in Lovina by electric car
The north coast spreads its sights along quiet roads where a silent EV is a pleasure to drive — and having your own car means you set the alarm for the dolphins, not a tour bus.
- Dawn dolphin boats from Lovina beach — book the night before, drive five minutes to the sand.
- Banjar hot springs, warm pools under old trees a short drive west.
- Brahmavihara-Arama, Bali’s serene Buddhist monastery in the hills above Banjar.
- Gitgit and Sekumpul waterfalls in the Buleleng hills on the Bedugul road.
- Munduk coffee country, a worthwhile detour on the way up or down.
- Old Singaraja: the harbour front, Chinese temple and colonial-era streets.
Lovina electric car rental questions
How long should I charge before driving to North Bali?
Start as close to full as possible — that is how the car is delivered — and plan a top-up at Candikuning near the halfway point. Session fees are capped at Rp25,000 for fast charging, so the stop costs little; charging speeds vary by station, so build the stop into your itinerary rather than your fuel gauge.
Can I do Lovina as a day trip in an EV?
It is possible — the round trip is roughly 170–180 km of driving, within a long-range model’s capability with a Candikuning top-up — but that is five to six hours behind the wheel. Most guests stay at least one night for the dawn dolphin boats, which is the point of Lovina anyway.
Is delivery to Lovina available?
Yes, with a delivery fee quoted upfront on WhatsApp; free delivery covers the Kuta–Seminyak–Airport corridor. Many guests collect the car in the south and make the mountain crossing part of the holiday — it is one of Bali’s great drives.
