Three days, one cheerful little electric car, and about $87 of rental: a Wuling Air EV at $29 per day self-drive (Standard Range, as of August 2026) covers the Uluwatu cliffs, a Sanur sunrise, the Ubud rice terraces and a lazy Canggu finale — every leg comfortably inside one overnight charge. Message WhatsApp +62 811-3941-4563 with your dates and the car meets you at your villa, battery high.
This is the itinerary we sketch for first-time guests who ask where a small city EV shines. Distances are real, times are honest ranges, and every charging note follows the actual station map — not wishful thinking.
Why plan Bali days around a small EV?
Because South Bali is a cluster of short hops, not a road trip: most legs run 12–40 km, well inside the Air EV’s real-world range of around 200–300 km depending on variant. You spend the day exploring and the night charging — petrol stations never enter the story, and parking is easy at every stop.
The math helps too. Three days at $29 is about $87 for the whole adventure (as of August 2026) — the full rate card lives on our Wuling Air EV price in Bali page.
Day 1: Which cliffs and beaches fill the Bukit day?
Start south. Uluwatu sits roughly 22–23 km from the airport corridor, about 45–75 minutes depending on traffic — leave before 8am and it flows. Morning at a Bukit beach, lunch above the surf breaks, then Uluwatu temple for the Kecak fire dance at sunset.
- Charging honesty: no public charger is confirmed on the Bukit itself, so start the day with a full battery — and if you need a top-up, Nusa Dua’s ITDC station or Jimbaran on the way down are your friends.
- Finish with grilled seafood on Jimbaran bay; the drive home after dinner is short and quiet.

Day 2: How do you combine Sanur sunrise and Ubud?
Set the alarm. Sanur is roughly 14–15 km from the airport corridor (20–45 minutes), and at dawn the beachfront is calm, golden and easy to park. Coffee by the water, then point the car north: Ubud sits about 37–38 km from the airport corridor, roughly 60–105 minutes with traffic — less from Sanur’s side of the island.
Do Tegallalang’s terraces before the tour buses, lunch in town, museums or the market after. Central Ubud has no reliably confirmed public charger, so arrive with battery to spare; Gianyar regency has confirmed stations if you want insurance. Villa up there instead? See the Wuling Air EV rental in Ubud page.
Day 3: Why finish slow in Canggu and Seminyak?
Because you earned it. Canggu’s Batu Bolong area sits roughly 18–20 km from the airport corridor, but budget 45–90 minutes — this corridor moves on café time. Brunch, a swim, shopping in Seminyak, then a beach club for the final sunset.
The Air EV’s three-metre body is built for exactly this day: lanes that shrink, parking that hides in gaps, and a quiet cabin for the happy, salty drive home.
Where do you charge on this route?
Mostly at night, while you sleep. The car arrives with a high battery (typically 90–100%), and each day above uses only a fraction of the range. For daytime top-ups, Bali had around 230 public charging units across 164 locations by the end of 2025 — airport belt, ITDC Nusa Dua, Sanur, Denpasar, the Kuta–Seminyak strip and Gianyar all confirmed.
Costs stay tiny: fast charging carries a service fee of Rp933.22 per kWh (ultra-fast Rp1,133.22), with PLN electricity capped at Rp2,467 per kWh. Pair a plug with a long lunch and the battery conversation ends.
When should you leave each morning?
Before eight, every time. Bali’s peak congestion runs roughly 08.00–10.00 and 16.00–19.00, when travel times can climb 40–60% — the difference between a 45-minute glide and a 90-minute crawl on the same road. Early starts buy cooler air, emptier viewpoints and softer light for photos.
Evenings, flip the trick: book dinner for 19.30 or later and drive after the rush dissolves.
What does the whole 3-day trip cost?
The car: about $87 for three days at $29, or $99 with the Long Range at $33 — as of August 2026, final quote on WhatsApp. Add the Bali Mandara toll at Rp14,000 for cars (since April 2024) if you cross the bay to Sanur or Nusa Dua, and charging that costs pocket change. Petrol line on the budget: zero.
Want the itinerary chauffeured instead? An English-speaking driver adds from $35 per day — a favourite for the Ubud day, when the rice-terrace views deserve your full attention.
Can you swap in other stops?
Easily — that is the point of having your own wheels. Nusa Dua’s calm resort beaches slot into Day 1 (12–13 km from the airport corridor, 20–40 minutes, with charging at ITDC). Tanah Lot makes a classic sunset detour on the Canggu day. Denpasar’s markets and warungs reward the curious on any afternoon.
The only swaps we honestly discourage in an Air EV are the far east and north coasts — Amed and Lovina are long-range missions better served by an overnight stay or a bigger-battery model. Ask on WhatsApp and we will route you straight.
Local tips that make the itinerary sing
- Screenshot each day’s route the night before; signal dips in the terraces and on the Bukit.
- Keep small notes for parking attendants at temples and beaches — quick, cheap, friendly.
- Pack a dry bag for wet swimwear; future you, opening the boot, says thanks.
- Temple dress code: sarongs at the gate, shoulders covered — keep a scarf in the car.
- Rain check: afternoon downpours pass; the itinerary above survives them all because the car has a roof.
