Eşarj and Kadoil Collaboration Expands EV Charging Station Network in Turkey
Eşarj, of which Enerjisa Enerji has majority of the shares by 94 percent, and Kadoil, the leading fuel distribution companies in Turkey, expand the EV charging station network in Turkey. As part of this collaboration, Eşarj has the purpose of installing 100 high-performance chargers in 50 provinces in line with its goal to have “over 1,000 high-speed charging stations in 81 provinces in Turkey”.
Eşarj, the first and fastest charging station company in Turkey, continues to establish partnerships in order expand EV adoption in Turkey as well as encouraging investments for fast charging stations. Eşarj expands its service network by signing a collaboration agreement with Kadoil, which offers fuel and LPG to its customers with more than 600 dealers nationwide. As part of the agreement, the goal is to reach 100 stations in 50 provinces.
All stations to be installed by Eşarj and Kadoil partnership will provide high-speed (DC) charging service to their customers. Thanks to the collaboration and the high-speed chargers to be installed, EVs will be able to charge their batteries to 80 percent in 30 minutes. While the partnership will make the high-performance charging network accessible to all EV drivers/owners, Eşarj and Kadoil customers will be able to continue their journeys without worrying about the batteries of their EVs.
Murat Pınar, Chairperson of Eşarj and CEO of Enerjisa Enerji, stated: “At Eşarj, the first EV charging station network in Turkey, we have responsibilities towards our country and our people. It is very important to us to guide our customers in choosing EVs with no hesitation and to give them support for an uninterrupted and comfortable journey. Hence, we attach great significance to collaborate with every stakeholder that would like to be included in the EV ecosystem. Thus, we are very pleased to enter into a collaboration with Kadoil, which we consider as a pioneering and inclusive company.”
Nergiz Kadooğlu Çifçi, Chairperson at Kadoil, stated, “A great change is going on all around the world. New mobility and electrification are now becoming a part of our lives. So, establishing a widespread charging station infrastructure is a must during this change. At Kadoil, we believe that fuel stations will be preferred for the charging station infrastructure, in order to adapt to this new future and when the existing investments are considered. While building the future, our industry, which has a billion-dollar worth infrastructure that we built for fuel-powered vehicles throughout the past century, and employs more than 150,000 employees, will stand out. Therefore, we are very glad to collaborate with Eşarj, one of the fastest growing and most valuable brands in the industry. With the expansion of this project, we will continue to serve our EV-driving guests with Kadoil quality. I wish this collaboration have the best outcome for both companies, as well as our dealers and our country.”
