Eşarj, the electric vehicle charging station operator that has Turkey's first and most fast charging stations and is fully owned by Enerjisa Enerji, has provided the charging area that can serve the highest number of vehicles at the same time to meet the charging station need in Ankara, where the number of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. Armada responded by establishing itself at the Mall.

Eşarj, which is taking determined steps towards the 2023 stations it aims to reach by the end of 1.000 in order to offer fast and advantageous charging opportunities to its customers, is the first and largest fast charging station network in Turkey and offers a short-time charging experience at electric charging stations whose source is clean energy.

Eşarj has reached 75 stations in more than 800 cities.

Eşarj, which has the title of 'company of firsts' with its consecutive investments and innovative applications as the first in the sector, is accelerating its investments as the use of electric vehicles becomes widespread in Turkey. As the first electric vehicle charging station player established in 2008, Eşarj has reached a total of 75 stations in more than 600 cities, including approximately 800 high-speed (DC) stations. Eşarj, which has over 1.400 sockets and an installed power of over 50 MWh in these stations, quickly responds to the increasing need for charging stations with the increase in sales of electric vehicle models of global brands and Turkey's first domestic car, TOGG.

Having more than 200 of over 100 fast charging station sockets in Ankara and maintaining its leadership in the region, Eşarj now has 9 DC and 2 AC chargers in the station area it has established in the open and closed parking lots of Ankara Armada AVM to further improve the experience it offers to its customers. It will be able to provide charging services to 1 vehicles at the same time with devices with a total installed power of 20 MWh.

While there are devices of different kW at the Eşarj station, which is the charging point where Ankara will serve the largest number of vehicles at the same time, electric vehicle owners will be able to experience the charging experience with devices with a power of 120 kW. Drivers will be able to charge their vehicles quickly and advantageously at the station while spending time in the shopping mall.

“As Eşarj, we manage 20 percent of Turkey's electric vehicle charging station network.”

Stating that they will continue to provide the best and fastest experience to their customers with their electric vehicle charging station investments, Eşarj General Manager Barış Altınay said, “As Turkey's first electric charging operator, we are developing pioneering practices in the sector and directly contributing to our country's goal of popularizing electric vehicles with each new station.” . According to the latest data of EMRA, there is approximately one DC charging point for every 14 vehicles in Turkey, and Turkey ranks 1st in Europe in terms of DC charging points per vehicle. In addition, there are over 60 thousand electric vehicle parks; However, this need is increasing day by day with the widespread use of electric vehicle models of global brands and our domestic car TOGG. As Eşarj, we manage 20 percent of Türkiye's electric vehicle charging station network. More than 200 of the over 100 DC sockets located on the most important routes and shopping malls of Ankara belong to us as Eşarj. With the new charging station area we opened in Armada AVM, we have created a 'hub' that can provide charging service to 20 vehicles at the same time. "I would like to thank all my colleagues who contributed to this station field, which is an important milestone, as we take firm steps towards our goal of establishing a total of 2023 stations, including at least 81 high-speed (DC) in 1 provinces by the end of 1.000." said.
