Eşarj, the charging operator of the firsts, achieves its 1,000-station goal

Eşarj, which is an affiliate of Enerjisa Enerji, the leading electricity distribution, retail and customer solutions company that pioneers the energy transformation in Türkiye and is the first company with the highest number of fast charging stations nationwide, kept its word to reach 1,000 stations in 81 provinces by the end of 2023.

Carrying its services further every day with a particular focus on customer experience in order to make an uninterrupted travel experience with EV accessible, Eşarj opened a high-speed (DC) charging station in Aqua Florya, where EV parking is dense, and reached its 1,000th station.

Responds to the increasing need for charging stations in Türkiye with its 1,000 stations

While Eşarj was the first player in the EV charging station industry when founded in 2008, the Company reached 1,000 charging stations nationwide, over 700 of which are high-speed (DC) charging stations. Having approximately 1800 plug-in slots and over 80 MW installed capacity, Eşarj swiftly fulfills the increasing demand of charging stations as a result of the increasing sales of EVs of global brands as well as TOGG, the first domestic automobile brand of Türkiye.

Mentioning that they achieved technology and infrastructure investments for the energy transformation in Türkiye, Murat Pınar, CEO at Enerjisa Enerji and Chair at Eşarj, stated, “We, at Eşarj, have been the prominent player in an exceptional story of transformation and development from the first station to one thousandth station. We are proud and assume responsibility for inspiring the industry with the many firsts we have achieved and for pioneering the steps taken to ensure a better future for all as well as building the infrastructure for Turkish Electric Vehicle industry.

At Eşarj, we have the goal not only to swiftly increase the number of stations by building an EV charging infrastructure, but also to grow with fast charging stations in order to offer the best experience to our customers nationwide and to enable them to enjoy their valuable time accurately. We determined the locations of our stations according to the vehicle traffic at the relevant locations, i.e., the requirement and their potential. We focus on excelling our pace with our latest technology investments and design locations to enable an easy charging experience as well as motivating EV transformation in Türkiye.

Eşarj, which has achieved remarkable success together with its customers since the first day it was founded, is opening, and commissioning its 1,000th station today. We are already excited about the new goals that Eşarj, which contributes directly to the journey of Türkiye to a better future, will successfully achieve in the coming years. I would like to thank all my colleagues for their devoted efforts."

We set a record with 1 million charging since the day we were founded

Expressing that the journey that started ten years ago with the first charging had reached 1 million, Barış Altınay, Managing Director at Eşarj, stated, “Eşarj, the first company with the highest number of fast charging stations nationwide, has been a leading company in building the necessary charging infrastructure to support this transition. We set the goal to build and operate 1,000 charging stations nationwide, and while pursuing this goal, we have determined the needs of consumers and increasing demand points and expanded accordingly. Since the day we were founded, we have broken a new record by completing nearly 1 million charges. Our commitment to reliability, accessibility and innovation, and the opportunities we offer through collaborations to advance customer experience, have positioned us as a key player in the evolving e-mobility industry. Next year, we will strengthen our leading position in fast charging via significant routes and add novel services to our customer-oriented services.”
