A DC-Heavy Market
More than 40% of Türkiye’s sockets are DC, a much higher share than in many European countries. That reflects strong investment by charging networks and car brands. AC charging still makes up the majority of sockets and serves homes, hotels and workplaces.
What It Means
With the EV fleet growing more than 50% a year, demand for home and destination AC charging is rising too. See our Türkiye supplier page.
