Despite the scrap of registration fees, the use of electric cars in Albania is modest in relation to the total number of fuel vehicles.

According to official data from the General Directorate of Road Transport Services, until March 2022, only 2,588 electric cars result as registered in Albania. This figure also includes those vehicles that are hybrids, or in other words combined with diesel or gasoline.

While, in relation to the total number of 752,970 active vehicles in the country, these vehicles constitute only 0.35% of the total.

The decision to reimburse the registration fees for the first time for electric vehicles was taken by the General Directorate in November 2019. This includes the fees currently paid for physical control, driving license, standard license plates and certificate of ownership, with a total value of Lek 7,500.
