EV Charging Stations

EV charging at SEZ exists, but almost nobody talks about it

Walk 5 minutes from Seychelles International Airport’s main terminal and you hit the EV Charging Stations, sitting next to the building rather than out in a remote car park. Daily pricing is SCR 150, with a weekly rate of SCR 1050, which undercuts many Mahé rental quotes of “45–50€ per day” for a small petrol Kia Picanto or Suzuki Swift.

This facility sits beside the International Terminal, so you stay on-foot and on-airport the whole time. No shuttle, no extra 10–15 minute detour into off-site parking. You park, plug in, and you’re back at check-in or arrivals in about 5 minutes of walking on flat ground.

Right now, Reddit planning threads for Seychelles show zero discussion of EV rentals or airport charging, while petrol cars dominate every “how do I get around Mahé?” post. That means these EV Charging Stations operate in a bit of a vacuum: you probably won’t find detailed user reviews or charger-type breakdowns, just the posted SCR 150 per day / SCR 1050 per week pricing on-site.

Regular visitors mention renting conventional small petrol cars and never mention plugging in anywhere near SEZ, which makes this setup interesting if you live on Mahé with your own EV or arrange something non-standard with a local rental company. Budget for the weekly SCR 1050 rate if you’re staying 7 nights, then leave the car topped up while you’re on an island-hop.

Practical tip: confirm with your hotel or villa on Mahé if they have on-site charging before relying on these airport EV Charging Stations; if they don’t, plan your driving so you can return to SEZ and plug in during a longer stop or departure day.
