Eşarj, the Charging Operator that Breaks New Ground, and BYD, the Leading Global EV Manufacturer, Join Forces
Eşarj, the first charging station company in Türkiye with the highest number of fast charging stations and of which Enerjisa Enerji owns 100 percent of its shares, and BYD (Build Your Dreams), the leading global EV manufacturer, joined forces for a sustainable future.
Eşarj initiates a collaboration with BYD, the leading global EV manufacturer which put its first model in Türkiye on the roads following the launching in September, to further improve the experience that the company offers to its customers. Thanks to this one and only collaboration in Türkiye with Eşarj, BYD owners will get a unique opportunity. BYD owners will enjoy a 20 percent discount for re-charging their EVs at any Eşarj stations until January 31, 2024.
Eşarj will build more than 70 AC and DC charging stations in four dealers of BYD, i.e., two in Istanbul and one in Ankara and one in Izmir, at first, and then, the Company will continue to build charging stations in BYD dealers, the number of which is expected to increase over 20 in 2024.
“We build Eşarj stations nationwide.”
Underlining that they provide the best and fastest experience to their customers with the first charging station network in Türkiye with the highest number of fast charging stations as well as their investments in EV charging stations, Murat Pınar, CEO at Enerjisa Enerji and Chair at Eşarj, stated, “We, at Eşarj, put all our efforts into being a pioneer in the steps taken to ensure a better future for all as well as the EV Infrastructure in Türkiye, and to be listed among the playmaker companies in the ecosystem. Thus, I consider our collaboration with BYD, a global leader, and their choice of Eşarj as the only company to collaborate in Türkiye as a reward of our investments. Breaking new ground in Türkiye with our fast charging stations, the number of which continuously increases, enabled us to become empowered and contribute to the EV experience of our customers. We keep expanding our station network and maintain our efforts to build a total of 1000 stations in 81 provinces by the end of 2023."
