Where to charge your EV in Cambodia: the 2026 guide

Buying an electric vehicle in Cambodia is easier than ever — but the first question every new owner asks is the same: where do I actually charge it? The good news is that Cambodia's charging network has grown quickly, and with a little planning you can drive comfortably around the capital and beyond.

The charging landscape in 2026

Most public charging today is concentrated in Phnom Penh, where you'll find chargers at shopping malls, office towers, hotels and a growing number of dedicated charging sites. Siem Reap and Sihanoukville are catching up fast, driven by hotels and resorts adding charging as a guest amenity. Along the major highways, fast-charging points are slowly filling the gaps between cities.

Chargers generally fall into two groups:

• AC "destination" chargers — slower (typically 7–22 kW), ideal while you shop, work, dine or stay overnight. You'll add meaningful range over a couple of hours.
• DC fast chargers — much quicker (50 kW and up), designed for a top-up on the road. Great for intercity trips when you need range in 30–60 minutes.

How to find a charger

The most reliable way to locate chargers is through the mobile app of the network operating them. Modern chargers in Cambodia are run on charging-management software, so the operator's app shows you live availability, lets you start a session, and takes payment — usually via KHQR or ABA PayWay, the same apps you already use for everything else.

Smart charging habits

You rarely need to run your battery to empty and back to full. In practice, most EV owners in Cambodia:

• Charge overnight at home or at their building where possible — it's the cheapest and most convenient option.
• Top up opportunistically at destinations (mall, office, hotel) rather than waiting for a dedicated stop.
• Keep the battery roughly between 20% and 80% for daily use, and charge to 100% only before a long trip.

What's coming next

The network is expanding month by month as more operators, malls, offices and property owners install chargers and open them to the public. Each new managed site makes EV ownership in Cambodia a little easier — and it's why the map looks very different today than it did even a year ago.

If you run a business with parking and want to become one of those charging locations, that's exactly what we help with — turning your site into a professionally managed, revenue-generating charging point.
