Speaking to a group of journalists on Saturday, Ak pointed that the tax advantage granted for electric vehicles in Turkey would help in increase of number of electric cars rapidly, if these supports do not decrease.
Ak noted that global automotive giant companies will launch their electric models quickly to the Turkish market. Also, he emphasized that the production capacity of the electric vehicle battery, which stood at 30,000 megawatts (MW) in the world five years ago, had reached 300,000 MW today.
He also stated that 80% of charging operations were installed in homes and workplaces. Ak estimated that the number of electric vehicles in Turkey would reach 2.2 million by 2030.
In Europe, fast-charging stations with a capacity of 350 kilowatts were installed with a cost of $300,000. Ak said that these fast-charging stations could be implemented together with automotive companies in Turkey as well.
He also stated that the maintenance and management of the charging stations are very crucial here. “Our priority is shopping centers and airports. We also want to cover the highways since no one has touched it yet, but our main target is homes and businesses.”
A total of 100 charging stations commissioned by Zorlu Energy, under the ZES brand, are currently operating in 24 cities. Especially in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions, the number of ZES charging stations which provide uninterrupted electric vehicle transportation is aimed to reach 1,000 in the longer term.
