Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming widespread around the world as one of the biggest innovations of next generation mobility. In Turkey, this transformation continues unabated. According to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) Energy Transformation Department, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in Turkey will exceed 200 thousand by January 2025.


Strengthening Charging Infrastructure in Turkey

While this development shows that sustainable transportation is increasingly adopted in Turkey, the satisfaction rates of electric vehicle users also support this change. According to a recent consumer survey covering more than 20 countries, 92 percent of electric car owners are satisfied with their vehicles. In parallel with this increase in the number of electric vehicles, the charging station infrastructure in Turkey is also developing rapidly. The number of charging sockets, one of the most important elements of charging stations, reached 27,000 by 2025.

More specifically, there are a total of 26,941 charging sockets across Turkey. Of these:
- 16,000 AC (slow charging) and 10,000 DC (fast charging) sockets.

This data proves that electric vehicle owners in Turkey are interested in mobility solutions in a similar way to European and American users.

Growth in Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure

In January last year, there were 88 thousand electric vehicles in Turkey. By 2025, this number grew by 122 percent to over 200 thousand.
There is a similarly great development in the charging infrastructure. The number of charging sockets increased by 105 percent compared to the previous year.

This growth shows that infrastructure investments continue rapidly in parallel with the increasing demands of electric vehicle users. By expanding its charging station network, Turkey aims to offer electric vehicle owners a more comfortable and accessible experience.

Electric Vehicles Shape the Future The increase in the number of electric vehicles and developments in charging infrastructure reveal that sustainable transportation is becoming widespread in Turkey. With the advantages of lower carbon emissions, quiet and economical driving, EVs contribute positively to both the environment and the user budget.

Considering this growth rate, it can be said that Turkey will continue to be an important player in the electric vehicle market. In the coming years, both EV sales are expected to increase and charging infrastructure is expected to strengthen.
