People are constantly looking for ways to save. Although we often hesitate to invest significant funds if the return period is long, electric vehicles—which will gradually become more accessible—prove to be an option that offers advantages even when considering short-term effects. In our region, there is still skepticism toward electric vehicles, often supported by the usual tendency of people to look for and absorb only information that confirms their original and, of course, always correct opinion.
Therefore, a handful of arguments such as ‘there are not enough chargers for all users’ or ‘electric vehicles are not practical for long journeys’ often overshadow the numerous advantages, like reduced noise and pollution, savings on charging compared to fuel costs, and other benefits. It is precisely these kinds of established arguments that Charge&GO, a company that has been developing a network of chargers and supporting electric vehicle drivers in Serbia for years, whether they are local drivers or transit users, aims to address. The invested effort is paying off – the number of charging sessions has increased from just a few dozen in 2020 to tens of thousands in 2024.
Due to its regenerative braking function, an electric car is a lifesaver for those regularly stuck in city traffic. When we also consider highly volatile fuel prices and the announcements from the relevant ministry about all the benefits expected for electric car owners – such as lower tolls and free parking – the savings would indeed be evident with every kilometer traveled. While there is still plenty of room to improve infrastructure, regulations, and other aspects, it cannot be denied that Serbia is making great strides towards electromobility.
If we consider fuel prices, which are very unstable, and the announcements of the relevant ministry about all the benefits awaiting electric car owners – such as lower tolls and free parking- the savings would be evident on every kilometer of the road. Although there is a lot of room for improving infrastructure, regulations, and other issues, the fact that Serbia is making great strides towards electromobility cannot be denied.
