Koci Selamaj, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, was arrested in the seaside town in the early hours of Sunday.
A light-coloured Nissan Micra was seized in a residential street around half a mile away from where he was arrested.
Lisa Ramsarran, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the Metropolitan Police Service to charge Koci Selamaj, 36, with one count of murder.
“The charge relates to the murder of 28-year-old primary school teacher Sabina Nessa in Kidbrooke, south-east London, on Friday, September 17 2021.
“The CPS London Homicide Unit authorised the charge following a review of a file of evidence received from the Metropolitan Police Service.
“The defendant’s first court appearance will take place on September 28 2021.”
The statement added: “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial.
“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
Ms Nessa taught a year one class at Rushey Green Primary School in Catford, also south-east London.
On Friday, hundreds of people – including her sister – gathered for a candlelit vigil organised in Pegler Square, Kidbrooke, in her memory.
