MB 2020

Malta supports the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through a dedicated residential charging service offered by Enemalta plc. This scheme provides preferential electricity rates for EV owners during specific off-peak periods and supports the installation of a dedicated EV meter at home. It is part of Malta’s broader strategy to decarbonize transport and reduce peak demand stress on the national grid.

• Off-Peak Charging Rates:
  EV owners are charged a fixed rate of €0.1298 per unit (kWh) when charging their vehicles during designated off-peak periods:
  • 00:00 – 06:00 hrs
  • 12:00 – 16:00 hrs
  • All day Sunday
• Standard Rates Outside Off-Peak Hours:
  EV charging during peak hours is billed at the household’s regular electricity tariff bands.
• Separate Metering:
  A dedicated EV meter is installed to separately measure electricity consumption for vehicle charging.
• Installation and Monthly Fees:
  • Installation Fee:
    • Single Phase: €50
    • Three Phase: €80
  • Monthly Service Charge:
    • Single Phase: €4/month
    • Three Phase: €6/month
• Time-of-Use Automation: The system is equipped with a timer mechanism that ensures charging occurs only during approved off-peak hours to benefit from the discounted rate.
• How to Apply: EV owners can submit an application form available on Enemalta’s website, and Enemalta technicians will install and configure the system accordingly.
