Can I transport an Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) or electric car on a ferry?

Updated over 3 months ago

From April 2024, a new regulation (circular 2070.0/28541/2024) applies to the transport of Alternative Fuel Vehicles on Greek ferries.

AFVS (Alternative Fuel Vehicles) include:
a) Hybrid and all-electric vehicles that have batteries.
b) Vehicles that use liquefied and compressed gaseous fuels.

In all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, the level to which their batteries are charged shall not exceed 40% of their total capacity.
For vehicles using other alternative fuels, such as LPG or natural gas, their fuel tanks must not be filled to more than 50% of their total capacity.

Furthermore, for all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, the battery temperature should be checked.

Last but not least, always check with the Ferry Operator about the current terms & conditions of AFVs.
