Parking with a charger for an electric car in Zagreb
Zagreb gains public chargers every year, and a handful of networks run them, HEP's ELEN, Petrol, Tesla and Ionity. Power runs from AC charging up to 22 kW, which is what most city locations offer, to fast DC chargers meant for long trips.
The public-charger information here was collected on 26 Aug 2026 from the operators' own sites. Charging prices and the number of chargers change often, so check the network's own page before you set off. Parkly is not affiliated with any charging operator and does not sell electricity.
HEP ELEN
The largest and oldest public charging network in Croatia, with locations across Zagreb. All electricity at ELEN chargers comes from renewable sources. The AC chargers have two 22 kW Type 2 sockets each, for which you need your own cable, while the DC and AC/DC units carry their own cables with CHAdeMO and CCS connectors. You pay through the ELEN app, an RFID card, or, at newer stations, directly by bank card.
Petrol
A Slovenian network that has expanded quickly in Croatia in recent years. Its chargers sit mostly at filling stations, so along main roads and in larger towns, which makes them better suited to topping up in passing than to charging in your own neighbourhood.
Tesla Supercharger
A fast DC network with fewer locations, built around travel. Some sites are open to other manufacturers' vehicles, but not all of them, so check before you arrive.
Ionity
A network of ultra-fast chargers along the motorways. For everyday charging in the city it is essentially irrelevant, but it is worth knowing about if you often drive towards the coast.
Why a public charger does not solve everyday charging
Public chargers are built for topping up in passing, not for a car that stands all night. That is why operators limit how long a vehicle may occupy a connector and then charge an occupancy fee on top, regardless of the electricity used. Leave the car overnight and that fee easily exceeds the cost of the charge itself.
On top of that, a charger in your neighbourhood is not the same as a free charger. You arrive, somebody is already on it, and you are back where you started.
So most people with an electric car sooner or later look for somewhere they can charge while the car is standing anyway. If you have no garage of your own, a private parking space with a charger is the closest substitute: the car charges overnight and is full in the morning, and nobody takes the connector.
Some private spaces come with a charger.
Among the listings on Parkly there are spaces where you can charge the car. If that matters to you, turn on the charging filter and you will see only those, with the power stated on every listing.
Parking with a charger on Parkly
On Parkly you can filter listings by whether the space has charging and at what power: Schuko up to 3.7 kW, a wallbox at 7.4 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW, and fast DC charging.
The power is stated on every listing because the difference in charging time is a multiple, not a detail. The number of phases decides the speed: 7.4 kW is single-phase and fills the car overnight, while 11 kW needs three phases and does the same job in about two thirds of the time.
Got a space with a charger? Or even just a socket?
There are more and more drivers with an electric car, and few private spaces where they can charge. Tick charging on your listing and the space shows up for the drivers looking for exactly that. An ordinary Schuko socket counts too, not only a wallbox, and you settle the electricity however you agree with the driver.

Do I need my own cable?
At AC chargers, usually yes. ELEN's AC chargers have Type 2 sockets for which you bring your own cable, while the DC units carry their own. At a private space it depends on what has been installed: some wallboxes have a fixed cable, others only a socket. If the listing says so, you will see it straight away; if it does not, ask the owner before you agree anything.
Is electricity included in the rent?
It depends on the listing. There is a separate field for it, so you can see it straight away. If electricity is not included, you agree how it is metered directly with the owner, Parkly is not part of that arrangement.
Can I install my own charger at a rented space?
Only by agreement with the owner, because it means work on somebody else's property. In buildings with several co-owners you usually need their consent too, and sometimes work on shared wiring. Before you order anything, settle with the owner who pays for the installation, who owns the charger, and what happens to it when the tenancy ends. Those are the three questions that cause the most trouble later.
If you need a charger right away, it is simpler to look for a space that already has one.
How much charging power do I need?
For most people who charge overnight, a 7.4 kW wallbox is enough. The car stands for ten hours or so, and that covers the daily distances people drive around the city. A Schuko socket charges noticeably more slowly and suits you better if you drive little, or if the car stands for several days at a time. Fast DC charging is practically never found at a private space, and for everyday use it is not needed.
If you use the car for longer daily runs, or charge it only occasionally, it is worth looking for 11 kW or more.
What is the difference between 7.4 kW and 11 kW?
The number of phases. A 7.4 kW charger is single-phase and runs on a standard installation, while 11 kW needs a three-phase connection. In practice 11 kW does the same job in about two thirds of the time.
For overnight charging the difference is usually not decisive, since both will fill the car by morning. It starts to matter if you use the space during the day and need the car back on the road quickly. It is also worth checking what your car accepts: some models have a single-phase onboard charger, so they cannot use 11 kW from their side anyway.
How do I filter for spaces with a charger only?
In the filter bar, turn on the EV charging filter and the search shows only spaces where the car can be charged. The power is on every listing, and you can combine the filter with a district, a duration and a price.
