Croatia has few special rules for electric cars. That applies to parking, tolls and low‑emission zones. Even so, signs for EVs are appearing more often – mostly at charge points.
Dedicated road signs just for electric cars are fairly rare in Croatia. Most cover the use of charging bays – who may park there and whether you need to be plugged in.
There are no nationwide rules for free parking for EVs. However:
Note: Whether parking is free depends on the location. Check the signs or local parking apps.
Croatia charges distance‑based motorway tolls – with no discount for EVs.
Tip for visitors: From the end of 2024 the toll system is switching to a digital vignette. No special rates are planned for EVs.
There are currently no low‑emission zones in Croatia.
In short: In Croatia, any vehicle can drive anywhere, regardless of what powers it.
The charging network still has room to grow, but it’s already usable on key routes and in tourist areas.
